Hello!
During world updates, I don’t see that we would get more 3D Photogrametry small towns, big cities, areas. During a world upgrade, we only get famous buildings and attractions. My question would be, will the number of 3D Photogrametry cities and areas increase in the future?
What is the developer’s plan?
Jörg stated that they are planning to discuss it with Bing, and bring more photogrammetry cities and increase the resolution of some of the sattelite images and in future. But first of all they need to do the regional updates (which may include new pg cities as well). For the near future the world update 6 will feature 3 cities in pg, and Vienna being one of them. But as I got the main work with be in 2022.
Hi there,
In the last Developer Q&A, Jörg Neumann stated that he tried to get photogrammetry for this world update but was unable to. Unfortunately, obtaining the data is difficult. I don’t want to speak for him, but it sounds like he would like more photogrammetry if he could get it. You can listen here at 14:10 in the video:

Plenty of PG cities made from GE over at flightsim.to if you want more. Most of them are pretty good too.
Having too many of them in close proximity can hit your frame rates and cause stutters, but used sensibly can be very impressive.
Some are better optimised than others, but most are fine and you can always delete them if you don’t like them.
As data is difficult to come by, why don’t they secure the data first and then release an update around that?
I.e if they manage to get great Australia & New Zealand data why not release that as a world update and wait to do the Nordics when the data has been secured.
