True, but it has some of the nicest scenery there, so I don’t think they should judge whether an update gets a region sooner or later solely on its population.
What percentage of people in Japan play MSFS, yet they got the first update.
The latitude is far more plausible, as you suggest.
I’m very excited about this. Hopefully Canary, Balearic, Azores and Madeira will be included. I’d love to see the big telescopes in La Palma added, just like they did the ones in the Big Island in Hawaii. That 2m resolution could be epic in the Canary islands!
I know but I ususlly fly with some lazy friends that never care too much about addons, just official updates and I want to share my experience with them
So Japan has a way higher population, it has 2 major global airlines (ANA and JAL) and Canada has one, it has more transported passengers per year than Canada but Canada has more…trees…and snow.
You don´t have to wait for the WU8 to have 2m DEM in the Canary Islands and the telescopes, both in Roque de los Muchachos (La Palma) and Izaña (Tenerife).
They are available since long ago thanks to the community:
Enjoy.
EDIT: Oh, I jumped too fast to tell you (If I read the word “telescope” I inmediately jump into overdrive mode). I see you already knew, and others told you in this thread …
What’s the matter with you people??? Can’t you just be happy that you aren’t flying Xplane, with it’s cartoony scenery, and terrible cockpits? Or happy that you don’t have to deal with the small, boring regions that look as boxy and bad as Xplane? None of them with good landmarks. He!!, DCS can’t even use the names of the real casinos in their Nevada map. They claim that it’s a mythical version of Las Vegas. But the truth is, they’re cheapskates.
The worst scenery in MSFS is better than the very best of any other sim out there. Just be happy that we as simmers have gotten this upgrade in life.
Sure is fantastic news. 100% Needs to include Balearics, Azores, Maderia and Canary Islands though, not just mainland.
The Island of La Palma should feature the recently solidified lava flows, and Los Llanos de Aridane needs to be labelled in the correct location, being the most populous town on the island.
