Is there a roadmap to this being updated using more current (Bing) sattelite data?
The runway was changed in 2014, so that's 6yrs + old data already.
Certainly someone can do a little bit of update work here.

Exactly, this is just a stupid mistake we did:

- We knew the runway "12" changed

- We *forgot* we already fixed this in the PD3 version, back in 2014. Yes, sometimes it happens you forget something you did 6 years before.

- Since we know the runway changed, we actually spent time to change back from 13/31 to 12/30 and instead of checking the charts, we did a casual glance on Google maps, which by default shows a picture from 2001, because that's the one with Lidar data, so they show that by default because it's supposed to be "better", so you must change the date to see the newer version.

So, the scenery was already fine, and it was like that since 2014, we did something when there was no need to. OBVIOUSLY, this is being fixed right now.

We are also adding the changes happened around to RWY 26L, and we'll add the new Airside maintenance building too, which has been modeled entirely from scratch, in addition to all changes to the ground textures in that area.
