Phoenix, AZ - Missing photogrammetry

Probably because its only one city on an entire planet of modeled cities

Are they acquiring new data?

I wish I knew why they replaced one of the most prominent cities in the country with generic autogen!

Boy do I feel a sense of irony here. I was actually the first person to model the Phoenix valley in Microsoft Flight Simulator (version before X). Did it as a hobby and got convinced to release it as a commercial product under the company name of “Simulating Art”. It had extreme detail on all major buildings, upgraded mesh, removed water from rivers where it didn’t exist, had animations, huge area of photogrammetry. Eventually some of the larger scenery companies released their own versions and I lost market share (plus X broke a lot of stuff I didn’t have the energy to fix).

Anyway, to see the 2024 version the other day gave me quite a laugh knowing what is possible. (the baseball stadium downtown is now a giant warehouse) Asobo needs to fix this soon.

and it’s a massive valley and a major airline and private plane hub which was one of the first cities fully modeled in MSFS.

nvrmind. I see others have this issue.
