Power Up - Orbx updates Global Power Lines for MSFS

If you love low-level flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, then you'll know that landscape details—like power lines—can make or break immersion. Whether you're simulating powerline inspection flights in a helicopter or just want the environment to look as sharp as possible, improvements matter.

The default power pylons in MSFS 2024? Let's just say they aren't exactly a standout feature. That’s where Orbx’s Global Power Lines comes in. I reviewed version 1, but now there’s an update (v1.1.0)—so how much better is it? Well, yes, there are significant improvements… but one weird behavior still bothers me.

Join me as we take a closer look at what’s changed, what’s still frustrating, and whether this update truly takes powerline realism to the next level.
