ms-store here: once I got CU15 it was marked as “Not available”, same than @TenPatrol. I had to restart the sim and then it was automatically marked as “Streamed”

Not sure if it is intentional or not, but a large swath next to downtown Chicago is missing it’s photogrammetry. This area did have photogrammetry previously. May the team please check on this area and if it got excluded by accident? All of the rest looks fantastic! I’m loving how far west of O’hare it extends.

Any issues with landmark packs like the Drzwiecki Design one with CU15?

Even with this update Chicago still has the awful green ground tiles that cover the majority of the city. Also, a lot of the photogrammetry is missing around MDW, Ugh…

Do you have Bijan Seasons installed?

hmmm…yes I do, has that been the issue all this time?

Ha yes!

Bijan has removed certain areas of photogrammetry in spots around the World close to airports. You can add it back in by deleting the associated file in the photogrammetry folder of the Bijan folder.

Anyways, there’s another large tile just north of KPWK airport that is extremely blurry with EXTREMELY melted buildings. This needs fixed!

Oh ok gotcha, that is the photogrammetry part, does the green tiles have something to do with Bijan too? Thanks so much for the heads up!!

Nah, the green has been an issue forever. It’s the ground imagery outside of the photogrammetry area. I did ask Bijan on his product thread in the forums if there is anything he can do to fix it, though. He’s recently been experimenting with changing ground colors in Europe. So, fingers crossed.
