Photogrammetry or more POIs?

Having seen a few posts around the WU7 and having seen the state of some photogrammetry over the life of the sim so far, would it not be better to dump photogrammetry and invest time in more POIs in cities to bring them to life?

Because the autogen is pretty solid for the most part, what is usually missing is those unique buildings which of course we can get with third party city packs and what Asobo choose to craft but scatter sparingly.

It seems to me that photogrammetry is a bit of a waste of time. When it works it looks great, but most of the time it doesn’t. I don’t want to be landing at airports and being surrounded by photogrammetry trees that are basically giant cones, pyramids and what looks like the apocalypse, it spoils immersion.

A good balance of POIS and autogen could work well. A great example of this is Flymex Monterrey, with the airport you get the main POIs of the city, and that with the autogen buildings works brilliantly because theres about 40% unique buildings.

What do people think?

I’m one of the lucky ones.
Ninety percent of the time, my photogrammetry is fantastic.
Personally, I would much rather have it fixed.
It is #4 on the “Bugs” list, and scheduled for this year, so I’m hopeful they will do so.
