WORLD: Terrain - Complete stylised graphics rewrite
OK, someone had to say it.
The graphics on TPV were always placeholders. When the resource is in place, they should be re-built from the ground up.
My preference would be to go for a stylised low-polygon approach, which allows for scalable graphics across the wide range of hardware options, with flexibility for cool animations and effects - it's also different to the other platforms out there. Whatever is chosen, it should have a consistent style.
I've attached some examples for reference.

Many thanks for your suggestion, and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
We hope that you're enjoying the many new graphics updates in TrainingPeaks Virtual that have been recently released. From GeorgeTown to Ice Mountain, with wind farms, cruise ships, cliffs and a wide variety of animals and other things to see on the roadside, there's been a huge change in the graphics since this suggestion was first made.
Whilst there's a lot more work to do, and we intend to continually improve the graphics and so will never be really "done", now feels like a good time to close this wider idea and continue to work on the details over the coming months and years ahead!

Please improve the views on the climbing island to actual scenery. Personally, I spend 6mo of the year staring at white and brown scenery IRL. An attraction of Zwift in comparison to TPV is that there is colour, and greenery everywhere. It helps with the SAD.
