ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: The new Yosemite Valley Photogrammetry in 2024 is being overridden by a POI from World Update II that frankly does not look good at all in comparison.
You can’t just disable the El Capitan POI, you need to disable the entire POI package to see it, which is annoying if you want the other POIs

ICAO, coordinates, or specific location: 37° 44′ 32″ N, 119° 38′ 9″ W

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?:

All the time

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Make sure World Update II is enabled in the Library
  2. Spawn near El Capitan, notice how it’s a low quality model not the new Photogrammetry
  3. Disable World Update II POI in Library, restart sim
  4. Repeat step 2, and look how much better El Capitan looks now without it

Same for the Half Dome. The Vexcel TIN has to be better looking and more accurate than the handcrafted POI. Did you find a way to remove only those without disabling the whole USA Points of interest package ?

Edit : I tried to exclude these objects in SDK with an exclusion rectangle, but that doesn’t restore the photogrammetry underneath.

Edit 2 : At the contrary, in Yosemite and other countryside TIN areas, they should exclude TIN where it is only forest, because it creates ugly terrain spikes instead of trees.

No, the only option was to remove the entire POI package
