Ha, you might be talking about me.
I love the sim and updates and photogrammetry. But surely not having Dallas is not normal and the fact there’s been two USA updates and a special “Texas Cities” update where they are adding new cities that didn’t have photogrammetry as well as touching up on Texas cities that already had photogrammetry, stands out. It’s like France with no Paris. England with no London.
People brought it up before I noticed it and other’s notice as well.
I made a thread saying I was no longer requesting photogrammetry in Dallas. I was downgrading my request to just ask “why no Dallas”. I was just curious. Thread was locked lol.
I absolutely LOVE this sim. Do not get me wrong as someone who just complains.
Some context to help you understand…
It’s easier for me to tell you cities with photogrammetry I have yet to fly over, than cities I have.
I have yet to fly over 3 photogrammetry cities in France, I haven’t flown over Germany yet, and Las Vegas and Boulder Colorado are the only cities in MSFS 2020 that have photogrammetry that I have yet to fly over.
That means I have flown over hundreds of cities with photogrammetry all over the world. I absolutely Love It!
So, knowing firsthand how many small cities and big cities have detail/photogrammetry, knowing that Dallas fits all the criteria to have photogrammetry and then some, that’s why I bring it up.
Less of a complaint, but more of a, “this is kind of odd”.
Next photogrammetry city for me to fly over…Nantes France!
Next photogrammetry city after that…NOT Dallas lol.
When it comes to the sim, and my fellow flight simmers, it’s all love. Please don’t take my post or observation as a complaint. If there was no photogrammetry in Tx, I would also mention that but truth be told…I still would fly this sim.
And in terms of inconsistency regarding photogrammetry, I just did five 20+ minute videos over Angers France as they have a bunch of photogrammetry beyond the main part of the city, but places like Sydney Australia only have downtown with photogrammetry.
If I’m being unbiased, I would put UK cities ahead of Dallas. Multiple UK cities only have their downtown areas with photogrammetry. UK is filled with hardcore Aviation fans from my experience and plus there are a lot of castles and old buildings all throughout the UK and many listed cities with photogrammetry miss out on this.
While I would prefer Dallas over Sydney Australia, Sydney probably is a bigger deal to Australia than Dallas is to USA. Plus Sydney already has the downtown, so they’d just need to extend it further.
It’s funny if you look at the progression of my post regarding no photogrammetry with Dallas, it starts out as angry complaints right…
Then I just try to be more matter of fact…
Then I downgrade to not asking for photogrammetry, just wanting to know why…
And now, as you can see with how much I have fallen in love with the sim, I don’t even care what Dallas did to Jorg/Asobo, I just automatically side with Jorg/Asobo that Dallas did something and doesn’t deserve to be in the sim.
