About the licensing

The app is completely free and same features as before, no license is needed for previous features. All maps it currently contains are free. Free features are always kept updated.
Some advanced features (e.g. custom map provider and future features) need a pro license.

You can find out how to get a pro license here: https://github.com/derekhe/msfs2020-map-enhancement/wiki/License

I had a lot of troubles with the tool because once it used to close automatically when the sim was closed. Now that this is no longer the case and the map tool stays open hidden in the taskbar. That way it fails to clear an important hosts-file and it will cause trouble after several usages. Would be great if this could be automated again.

Absolutely amazing and no issues with the areas I've flown. There is a noticeable difference in quality with the Pro vs Standard Free Google Maps. I paid the 1 month $5.00 USD to test before committing to the full license. One thing that does help that I would recommend is going to windows and making sure the Xbox Networking Settings test shows "Connected to server". I had issues loading much further than the edge of the plane (in default bing maps or the enhanced mad here). What fixed it for me was enabling Windows Defender Firewall, then testing clicking "Fix" and checking the Xbox Network Connection again and that successfully connected me to the Xbox servers and vastly improved my LOD for the ground textures. 10/10 Highly Recommend this App!!!

Thank you for delivering such a great add-on! One issue I have just run into is after starting the Map Enhancement program, then going into the MSFS world map and zooming in, I get an instant crash and my computer shuts down completely. This is repeatable. After reboot and going back into MSFS map, without Map Enhancement, everything works as expected. I still use this program, just a little more cautiously. Thank you!

This mod is making the ground texture bleed issues in DX12 a million times worse. It's happening to me now 9 times out of 10. It's at the point where big blocks of satellite image start to cover entire taxiways. Drawing airport debug in dev mode won't even solve it anymore. Would not recommend if you use DX12.

Cannot load a flight after latest update
Loaded previous version and even that one crashes my MSFS on loading flights
MSFS runs fine when not running this utility

The UI closes instantly upon executing but the app continues to run in the background. You cannot access the features.

The mod works as intended and I use it pretty much since it released way back then. Yet, since a couple of months when I use Bing Maps (Latest), I get a weird tile overlaping when flying low. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Updated to 7.2.3 still the host file issue :/

WARNING this broke my sim

I wasnt very pleased with the result so I wanted to revert back but I did not know I have to have a dr grade in computer physics to go back to default I even reset my system but still I have bing/google maps mixed tiled laoding up while flying over any terrain its an absolute shame no more cars on roads airports not loading in correctly etc... how do I go back to default msfs bing maps?

I installed the "Pro" version and didn't like the way the map layer would pop up over a generic X-Plane looking ground when flying at high altitude, went back to default for the map was consistent.

I dont know why, but if i start the Map enhancement, my plane wont react on my controllers/joysticks movements. In the settings it is calibrated and the MSFS recognize my Joystic and it works but the Plane Interior doesnt react on my Joysticks Movement. Thanks for some Help 😊

The biggest fan of your mod . It's totally incredible how bad are the Bing's aerial compare to your mod. I'm using your mod since a while, I'm so enchanted and when I don't use it, it's catastrophic how awful Bing is. Thank you so much for this mod, I hope you will never retire this mod.

Right click and run MSFS2020 Map Enhancement.exe as administrator. or manually give your username full control permission on host file. Simple issue, your username does not have required permission to modify the host file.
