I have just found the roof colors of the custom buildings are mostly the same in different regions of the world. They are mostly white and light brown. I am very surprised I haven’t noticed that before. Maybe it’s because I mostly flew in mountain areas and photogrammetry cities in the past. I have tried a lot of different countries and cities. Norway, Switzerland, Australia, Shanghai … they are all of the same color. Just try Venice with photogrammetry turned off, and you will see its roof color become white and light brown. Venice, can you believe that? Is there anything wrong with my setup, or is it also your case?
Same here.
This is a pity. Even FSX has a lot of autogen building varieties. Considering photogrammetry cities are not that many, and their quality is poor, Asobo really should put more efforts on that.

If that is not a bug, is there any addon or mod that can change the color of the buildings? Even better if building type can also be changed.
Unlikely, all the autogen buildings are server-based and therefore encrypted. But yeah, I think there definitely should be a larger variety of building types, because the buildings in Mumbai and the buildings in Oslo look very different.
It shouldn’t be very difficult for Asobo to add more variety to building types, not to say roof colors.

I’ve also noticed the autogen houses and buildings are looking quite ‘bleached’ or desaturated in the last few SU3 beta releases.
But it’s there since MSFS2020: Autogen houses in Europe
no add-ons for me.
the autogen houses have lost their colors. they all look washed out
Version beta 1.5.9 (and since 2 versions i think)

Yes, it’s definitely worse in the last two betas.

We lose realism.
Without colors, all the buildings look identical and bland despite their variety.
When I look at the houses on my street, it’s not like that.
I hope this bug will be reported to the developers…

Luckily pvaiko1203 already posted this bug in a separate thread instead of hijacking this thread about building roofs. So you might want to continue this second issue there (and vote there):
Until this bug I find that the roofs in Germany looked quite OK, that is, in SU 2 they were usually red to brown with the odd effect that inner cities seemed to have somewhat brighter roofs than the smaller buildings in the outskirts of cities. I haven’t checked other countries for their building roofs in particular. The OP might want to post some examples of unrealistic roofs in “Norway, Switzerland, Australia, Shanghai” if it’s not caused by the above mentioned bug.
