Your capture is taken much closer than the photo. The resolution is not the same, nor the depth of field.

Yes, dunno… why does Sacre Coeur look smaller then ? it was really difficult to get a match. Try it yourself… maybe there’s some telelens setting at work… just improve my image, I’ve no time to fly today…
Just try with the dynamic pause and adjust with the drone. You should find the right compromise. 
Look at my other pictures here pal, I know the procedure… just give us a better match, I’ll remove mine… success with it.

Best I can do for now… i’m afraid there must be some scaling issue… it seems the sim is closer by, but look at the proportions of that building… on the areals it looks wider. When I get any closer, I can’t align the left side and right side correctly and buildings in the foreground get even bigger. I’ve set 80% zoom already to get the church in the same proportion. One possibility: the church complex got turned slightly, when the scenery was created. OR… trees are too large !

I would only say one thing … the photogrammetry is awful in this picture

Yeah I agree… lots of areas in big cities look like that. I hope it is avoidable… maybe they’ll find some bug… when I take a close look at texture (PG, photographic texture) it seems there is often row-misalignment. This causes windows to look tilted… roofs with strange curves… buildings about to collapse… somehow the AI scenery is not good when it is part of a BIG place somewhere… I’ve seen it in London, Amsterdam, Paris… In New York it is slightly better, but there are no smaller buildings.
Maybe it is some optimization ? I fly 10-11 Fps over these places, but I am prepared to fly 5 Fps when it would improve ! I love to see good scenery. And all handcrafted stuff is beautiful. Only these “half AI buildings” show strange errors.
There is a problem with your photogrammetry. It looks much better on my pc. I am thinking of an internet speed and / or pc configuration problem.
10 FPS is really too low to fly in this configuration …

Thx, I already wondered… I’ll visit the place again 
Currently in 21 day planespotting (quarantine) in Hong Kong at the airport hotel. Finally some time to do more comparison shots from around the world!
As usual: date/weather/time synced as best as possible when possible.

Approach
Look for the 3 things under the wings…

Ocean Terminal Deck, Tsim Sha Tsui
Macau
Thought this was Hong Kong… took a few minutes to realize it was Macau!
Shanghai
Wow. Just wow.
Shanghai Tower
Shanghai Tower Night
Hope Developer can improve night lighting…

Darn construction crane. Now if only developers could focus on night lighting…

Didn’t have much to go by…, took 35 minutes to find exact location.

Love the KL shot! If only night lighting was better in the sim!

Harbour of Kiel, Northern Germany, below thumbnail of a copyright image may be already known 
Btw on the left some bad PG scenery… elsewhere the city of Kiel has much nicer views !
With 8x8 texture, high texture synth, building ultra settings, LOD etc, the PG quality gets better… but to run these settings during flight is above my league !
Closer look at that ship, it looks lovely… surroundings improve… but can’t find a nice RW match. Post it anyway…

repost, but needed to be here.

different time of year… 3 March versus 20 May
Florence - view from the dome
the spike in the distance vanished after an update the day I took this
YMML Melbourne domestic terminal
not an apples for apples comparison, but the inclusion of a hugely important spot and where my fathers resting place… RIP - p.s stand upwind when scattering ashes. Also saw Haley’s Comet from that spot. Was surprised to see it in the sim… such a ‘minor’ detail

@justcruisin1186 very nice images ! but please see you align your ingame screenshot better with the RW photograph. That’s what this topic is about.
Take your drone settings… move, zoom move zoom, tilt the camera until the horizon aligns… then go match left and right… it should be same looking angle and same content in the view. See that time of day is similar… clouds are similar…
because just 1 of 4 sets was different… alright then. I can see the others were WILDY different apparently
