City Update 10: United States Discussion

I get the same thing. No memorial, not even a marker. I don’t remember what was there before.

If you have the Seasons Enhanced mod, try with that disabled. It conflicts pretty badly with San Francisco now, haven’t checked other cities.

I’ll give it a shot but I’d be amazed to see ol’ Bijan’s trees causing the entirety of Sutro Tower to disappear and be replaced by a big default skyscraper - then again, I’ve seen the sim do weirder things I guess.

He uses exclusion zones to get rid of ugly photogrammetry trees in places like this, leaving autogen to fill in the blanks. Now that the underlying scenery has changed things won’t line up quite the same. Was seeing a lot of weird autogen buildings before disabling the mod.

Whale oil beef hooked - you’re right. Bijan off, San Fran on. I’ll give him a heads’ up on this thread to take a look.

Thanks!

I really liked SF when flying around there last night, loved the new cranes too much better than the old melted PG ones for sure. Also liking the water masks showing the surf. But has anyone noticed a step in the sand everywhere, it’s like a tectonic plate shifted. (black line step in sand in image below.


Also is there any detail on how far the new SF PG extends to?

Maybe I’m wrong, but where is the C208B livery? Why do we not get these items as well?

San Francisco does NOT work for me. Still outdated. No Salesforce Tower, Chase Center, or any landmarks noted in this release.

2024 SU1.

I don’t have the mods that were mentioned in the thread.

Sorry, was replying to the user asking about the Grand Caravan livery.

Are you in 2020 or 2024? I suspect you’re playing in 2020 as this is a default livery in 2024 that’s for cargo flights in Career mode but can be used in Free Flight as well.

Are you sure San Francisco is correct?

2024 SU2 beta and huge swathes of the city are not photogrammetry. There’s a really obvious switch over from autogen to Photogrammetry right in the centre of the city. It was also mentioned that cranes are no longer melted blobs, yet that’s exactly what I see. Some of the roads look terrible too and are almost melted in on themselves and flickering quite badly.

It looks worse to me than it used to.

Edited to add that it may be being caused by Bijan’s Season’s Enhanced add-on. Will keep an eye on it

Hello, I haven’t been back to Honolulu since 1966, I tasted my first hard banana split Waikiki beach :slight_smile: . I remember the Hilton and the kindness of Honolulians, at the time when France and the Americans were brothers,

Had a brief sojourn in Alcatraz! Ground and building textures a bit pants! Views towards San Fran are beautiful though.

Bay Bridge

What a sad, dismal place and the photogrammetry makes it worse!

The Underwater dock

Golden Gate bridge

How the other half live!

First tried this Heliport in Honolulu, looks weird :smiley:

Is this building supposed to look like this? Also crane looks weird

I don’t understand the point of photogrammetry if it looks like this.

I´m really confused right now. The update downloaded yesterday and it´s mentioned as owned in the market place but how to check right now if it´s really imported as it should be. I´m on MSFS 2024 SU1.

@lc4c We can confirm that there is an issue in City Update 10 with Dallas and Honolulu not having the updated TIN (photogrammetry) data in the current live build of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. We are working towards a resolution targeted for later today.

Other TIN cities included in the City Update are displaying properly. Players on Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) and participating in the 2024 Sim Update 2 beta are not affected by this issue.

Golden Gate bridge - cant drive off it but can drive on it until the massive support structures - then crash. Might have something to do with how the bridge is joined to the road at point of entry.

Crosskart has been swallowed up!

I honestly think that time is not ready yet for photogrammetry in the sim. It looks nice from 1500ft AGL or more but it is simply not made for low and slow, helicopter stuff or even the go-carts… I appreaciate the effort being put in to the digital twin but I’d rather wait a couple of years until the tools (AI and so on) are ready to tidy up that huge amount of data, flatten the trees and replace them properly, clean up buildings for close-up rendering and so on. A City Update should be a step forward and not destroy places which were nicely rendered before. This is my five cents to that topic…
