Bing looks ok, it’s just when it tries to make 3D objects on the top:
They don’t seem too camera shy

Yep, same version here - but handy as it notifies on versions

It’ll be interesting on what happens to all these mod sites when the ‘Central Gateway’ thingy that they are eluding to gets introduced. The plan AFAIK by Microsoft/Asobo is to provide in-sim access to mod libraries, so you can browse the world map or lookup an airport and then get scenery/airports via the in-game Content Manager. This could then be usable by the Xbox community as well. Perhaps they’ll do some sort of protocol/data standard on how places like https://flightsim.to output what ‘content’ they have and then the game goes looking using that, dunno. A centralized and versioned repository does sound like a nice idea if they can get it going.

Have they sorted out the Severn bridges?
I think they are still missing, but as per usual, the community did a good job

Bristol is now full photogrammetry and the Clifton Suspension Bridge looks nice.

Just FYI…
“The next major update, World Update 4, looks set to arrive in March, and will focus on improving Flight Simulator’s rendition of France and Benelux.”
Personally I was hoping for a update on Norway, Finland, and Sweden next… been in a Viking age kick lately, and into Rally and RallyCross now too.

Nice.
I fear Germany will take pretty long because a lot of the terrain data is not freely available due to shitty IP laws.
It will be nice to be able to fly around in our neighborhood at least.

Looks like this update sort of broke all 3rd party airport taxi lights. I’m getting disco fever 
The bug fix release ‘Sim Update 3’ is due first week of March, so unless there’s a hotfix then a lot of blue lights to look at.
It also broke some previously nice looking autogen buildings near the scenery I am working on.
oh, what scenery?
I’ve taken a look at the scenery editor. I’m still a bit confused by it. I wish there would be more assets to add. I can’t seem to find too many control towers that aren’t fixed to other buildings.
I’m not skilled enough for custom buildings and textures.
I haven’t created any assets either (yet). But I am using several asset packs I found on flightsim.to
My main gripe so far are the terraforming tools.
I just cannot shape the terrain the way I’d like to.
I am working on a small glider air field near my home town, plus nearby landmarks. Mainly playing around right now, but I am quite impressed by the editor.
