Highest Resolution Terrain List

[Sonicviz]

Is there an accurate list of the highest resolution terrain areas and extents of them for MSFS 2024?

Hi @Sonicviz

If you are referring to photogrammetry, have a look at this topic:

Which are your "Top favourite Cities/Places" with the best Photogrammetry to fly in? MSFS2024 + MSFS2020 LIST

Website - AirRhodesia’s PG Hanger for MSFS note. The PG list will not be updated on these Forums anymore. Just click the link above to get all the PG Lists etc. Or click on the “Solution” This thread is still alive and well, it’ll just be used exactly the same as before, the only difference being the Website for the Lists. Here’s my top 10. Las Vegas, USA - IMO the best photogrammetry in the Sim at the moment! Barcelona, Spain - Such a beautiful city to fly in and with latest city…

If you are referring to DEM
There is no published master list or complete world map, AFAIK, though there have been maps shown for various regions, e.g. as mentioned in this wishlist item:

Map of whole world showing the DEM LOD (elevation data quality) used by MSFS

Can we please have a map of the whole world that shows the DEM resolution for everywhere? Asobo released one for WUII: USA showing the updated regions of the USA and their LODs: [image] We can see the map also partially covers Canada and the Caribbean, which makes it look like Asobo might have the whole world mapped anyway! To summarize: It would be nice to see the improvements made by world updates. (Asobo should be showing them off!) As i…

Thanks. I was referring to DEM/VEXCEL areas specifically, so your second link is closest.
There’s noticeably a few, but would be nice to have an actual list.

I’m sure it’s not secret as we’re actually looking at the results in sim, but would be nice to have a guide so we didn’t have to hunt n’ peck to find the current good bits.

DEM/VEXCEL areas

I guess you remember that Developer Stream .
The scenery in that regions is awesome !!
Good luck, walter.

Thanks. Be great if they could give us more accurate data though. Those are large areas.

Still nothing. A digital twin of earth with no definitive guide to the highest resolution locations.
Instead we get to randomly poke a pin in the world map to see if we can hit something nice.

i made a post about this too a while back. there is a great US map but for some reason they didn’t do one for the other WU areas. the devs know the answer to this stuff, but for some reason don’t want to share.

i also would love to fly in high-DEM areas. One of my favorite is Queenstown, NZ. It is amazing and how I wish the rest of the world was.

anyway, check this US map out: Map of whole world showing the DEM LOD (elevation data quality) used by MSFS - Official Microsoft Flight Simulator / Wishlist - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

Thanks, but that was already referenced in the 2nd post above by @SmotheryVase665 Highest Resolution Terrain List - #2 by SmotheryVase665 and also I referred to it here Highest Resolution Terrain List - #3 by Sonicviz
