Feather River Canyon anyone?

I am flying around California and was deeply disappointed that this area north east of Lake Oroville is void of any details.

I am currently toying with the editor for the first time and this area won’t be released in the next days, but I want to show you some progress made so far.

Biggest problem of course is finding matching elements like bridges and rocks.
Also getting fixed are the blank surfaces: The whole canyon is rich in missing trees on the mountains where the AI could not identify the underlying images - resulting in dark and blank surfaces on shadowy areas.
