Maybe I’m wrong, but I think this has always been all cities and skyscrapers. I definitely noticed some cities did that even back in 2020. That’s partially why I bought a few of those generally overpriced city light addons in the Market. I liked their lighting, even if not realistic, and it made it so the center of cities wasn’t almost black.

Here is the same shot of Chicago from roughly the same angle in SU3

Clearly a major power outage inSU4, unless that’s the look they are going for. :slight_smile:

Well yea, obviously a difference! I wonder when the changed happened - or if there’s another thing causing that bug. Something I thought was normal all this time. I’ll try to get to a couple of cities soon and take a look.

Well, I have to admit, something changed. I KNOW I remember seeing Seattle dark without the Landmarks pack I have. But having removed that, it looks like this:

Not dark. So maybe I had something that was messing with downtown buildings?

Anyway, this looks good. Hopefully they fix whatever is causing them to be dark in su4.

Adelaide.

Yes, I know it’s a sleepy town compared to some examples, but not that sleepy!

Also, the Oval is very bright indeed and they don’t even have the floods on.

*Photogrammetry on.

Is it with photogrammetry off or on?

My photogrammetry is enabled. I think the most interesting shot is the one of Chicago where you can clearly see the stretch of buildings closest to the water have the lights on, then a large patch that are not. Should be easy enough for Asobo to figure it out just from examining that one location.

Seeing the same problem here with nothing in the Community folder and photogrammetry on - both in Montreal and Chicago.

However, can someone verify if they see the same issue in downtown Tokyo? On my side, I see lights on all the buildings. Perhaps there are only some cities affected worldwide?
