Seedy, chewy, someone- can you please help get a confirmed answer on this
This is from today I had sent in some feedback in questions to the support team and specifically asked about the aerials. It looks like they are indeed delayed.
“Hi Chris,
This is not something that we at MSFS Support can fix for you currently. We shared your previous messages as feedback.
The new imagery has been delayed and will be released once it is ready.
I do not know if the Chicago area will get added photogrammetry. This has never been promised. There was supposed to be new imagery added in MSFS / MSFS 2024 by the end of this year, but that has been delayed due to the MSFS 2024 release.
Adding new imagery is not a simple process. All this must go through thorough testing. When it is ready for release, it will be released.
@Vibstronium fyi

Just wanted to add, if they really want the new trees and seasons systems to pop, there needs to be a project to systematically filter the trees out of the photogrammetry being used and only use the new trees.

Update: did some comparison on my end. specially relating to my opening post & images. regarding imagery, photogrammetry definitely overlays aerials. with it OFF, I flew around st Louis Lambert, an area I know in real life and raised out of date concerns in some areas, and with it OFF, the construction areas do show complete, parking lots, stores etc. as in real life. but with photogrammetry ON, it overlays it with a bulldozed area. idk what it is in FS2020, didn’t compare, and I know msfs support told me new bing aerials, TIN and photogrametry for 2024 did get delayed. so im hoping when all available, photogrammetry is updated to match what I see with it OFF
Did the support say that? The reason I ask is I was expecting to see new PG coverage for Miami and LA, but they are the old data we had in msfs 2020.
The new aerials will be getting released sometime next year for both sims. Believe they are getting it ready to roll out to us users.

Someone please help me understand. Where is the new Bing Aerial data? For example, both New York and Chicago are at minimum pre-2016 based on the status of construction on certain buildings. The data has long been updated in Bing Maps satellite data and they said we were getting it in MSFS2024. Where is it?!?!

Delayed, like the promised rework of air traffic control and other updates that we were told we’d get in 2024 and still haven’t shipped.

And they’ve no update on these topics right?
Not that I’ve seen since November no.
To be honest I’ve stopped running MSFS entirely, I’m just waiting until I hear the ATC and photogrammetry are finally done.
