Is airport data no longer stored locally？

Gravitational lensing · February 20, 2024 at 7:33 AM

admin I have noticed that now it is necessary to load a lot of data online, such as terrain elevation data and airport modeling data. Local storage will be further reduced, but flight data will be stored. In the future, the completed 3D airport will be directly streamed into the media without updating the app. Is this understanding correct

Good news, developers have used excavators and trucks to remove four street light poles at the end of the runway at Hong Kong Airport. Shortcomings: the updated 3D airport does not have an optional birth point

Yes, you cannot choose a location to depart from the terminal building

But we can't choose a location in the San Francisco bay now T-T

Why not?

Well when I'm choosing a location in one of the airports in the SF bay, there's nothing displaying in the airports (takeoff, landing, parking...)

Are you referring to this? Display normal, Aerofly needs to load more content, theoretically faster internet speed,

Yeah but it doesn't display in my side, even with a good internet. That's weird.

Hopefully being able to cold-and-dark start from anywhere listed as GND location (bringing up the menu that says "ready for taxi/before engine start/cold-and-dark") would solve the problem. Perhaps one day?
