Info on automatic scenery download might be misleading
On the features site, we mention
Global scenery
Scenery is automatically fetched and updated wherever you fly.
According to the defaults.xml, it's disabled by default tho. This might confuse new users or make them think that something is broken.
Solution is either to change the wording that automatic scenery download can be enabled or to flip the value in defaults.xml (I don't know why default is off these days)
