Which are your "Top favourite Cities/Places" with the best Photogrammetry to fly in? MSFS2024 + MSFS2020 LIST

As a guy who lives in rotterdam i can assure you that amsterdam is not as nice :rofl:. Also the photogram pictures are missing.

I did not know that the scenery of rotterdam was so special. Thought this was the standard. But you are right. Its gorgeous,also the harbours

Any cities that match rotterdam with scenery and detail. I am new in msfs 2024 and thought this was the standard. :see_no_evil:

Thank you from Catalonia! Indeed Barcelona is nice, from the sky and living. But, oh my, F2020/24 doesn’t show the spanification and globalization destroying it’s soul!
Anyway, your list becomes my to do list :wink:

Is great fun (due to city layout) but not scoring that high for me. PG quality is pretty wonky, and the overall size is pretty small.

I re-discovered Detroit, Michigan today. Oddly, that one was not even on my “master list” I sent you for some reason! That has to be some of the very CLEANEST PG I have seen!!! All angles are straight, corners pin sharp, shop signs readable. After that, sorry but Melbourne has an appropriate rating already, IMO.

Porto definitely needs to come up a few tables though :slight_smile:

Miami is nice too. Goes for a very long way north up the coast. Not even sure what all the areas there are called that it blends in to (weirdly there is a Melbourne there too haha), but it is definitely including Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Port St. Lucie and probably more. Then there is some tiny patch of autogen, then PG again, then a gap of NO AG or PG (just flat sat imagery buildings) but then it’s PG again going up to the Kennedy Space Centre area. Huge!

There are loads just as good as Rotterdam, They’re in the list. 15/15 are the highest scoring ones. If you click on the “Solution” at top of this thread I think, you’ll find the latest updated list.

Have fun exploring all these new PG Cities/Places :ga_plane: :helicopter:

Right will have another look at that one.

That one was next on my list to try as well as Miami and Tampa.
I think I’ll have to agree with you on Melbourne especially after flying in Rotterdam - it just doesn’t compare, Think I might have just been blown away by just how good in FS24 it can look compared to FS20 along with all the flaws lol. So Melbourne will stay where it is :sweat_smile:
I did check out the entire Florida area in FS2020 but not been there in FS2024 yet. The World is just too big!
Time to check it out again.

Agree with you there!

Bing map of a area in Spain where I used to work is 16years old.
I did not expect this, but I could clearly recognize the autumn with its unique huge parts in front of a industrial complex which stayed there for 2months.

Today this place is entire demolished.

Derby and Nottingham in England both have PG.

Derby looked poor when I first flew over, the large building in the center of town was truly Lovecraftian and I’m sure Cthulhu was watching me fly by, but it finally loaded all the data and looked good. Very small area.

Nottingham is a bit bigger and imo is very nice looking. Great ‘downtown’ area.

And I swear Barcelona has been upgraded, I’ve flown there a lot and don’t recall it looking quite that good, really amazing!

Getting ready for another winter storm here

Their PG has always been poor till now! Never thought about having another look at Derby & Nottingham in MSFS2024 till you suggested it, so thank you!

Just been flying over Nottingham and after some time circling around it started to look very good indeed. My Dad is from Derby, Nottingham area so these places are very close to my heart :heart_on_fire:

These will get added to the List. For Nottingham I think it scores a 12/15 in MSFS2024. Will test in MSFS2020 later. The PG is nice clean and crisp although it takes quite some time to download especially on a 50mb connection. The non PG areas blend in that well in certain areas that I thought it was still PG! You’re right they’re both small areas of PG but good enough, well at least Nottingham is to make it on the list. Derby will get added after reviewing it.

Going to look at Derby after my dinner :+1:

Right I was flying there last night and thought the same. Definitely a new skyscraper near the docks on it’s own.

I’m in the process of doing an update to the List and it covers this very thing… that Micro/Asobo are updating the PG all over possibly with new data or they might have worked out a way to improve the current data if at all possible and they’re not telling us about these updates. But we’re slowly discovering them for ourselves and I for one am not complaining!

There’s a few surprises in the updated list which I’ll upload in a few hours which mostly highlight PG Cities in the U.S.A and are NOT on the List, and these places all score 14/15 or higher!

Thanks for the heads up, guess we going to get the tail end of it again haha

Edit: After looking at Nottingham again in MSFS2024 & MSFS2020 I’m going to give it a rating of 10/15. Only because its such a small PG area.

New PG Discovery - MSFS2024!

:new: Richmond, Virginia, U.S.A :us: - NOT yet Rated

This place is fantastic! Set the weather to clear skies and the month of July and fly over the downtown area. There you’ll find crisp clear PG and the trees are stunning! There are purple ones dotted about all over, these are Jacaranda Trees. Their flowers are purple and smell amazing. These trees are also found in Africa, Zimbabwe to be exact and we had one when we were growing up in our garden. Looking at the trees in the downtown area, they are all amazing and many different species. It really stands out and it blew my mind how Micro/Asobo can get things spot on at times. Out of the downtown area the PG trees are a mess and spoil it a bit, but overall this is a really cool place to fly. Rivers have nice detail. Nice quarries too. Its quite a large area to explore.

as @Snowleopard3295 mentioned in an earlier post “it’s nice to be able to zoom in on a place and be able to tell instantly if it’s PG”

Hi Rhodie, Found another great bit of scenery at Shellharbour NSW Australia. Give it a look I think you will like it. Cheers Mike ,ex jappie living in Oz

Hi Mike, thanks for the suggestion. I know that area quite well. Used to fly from Shellharbour to Sydney in MSFS2020 but not flown there for at least two years now so I’ll check it out now and it’ll get added to the List tomorrow.

I do remember it being a rather nice flight. The PG went quite a ways along the coast but wish it had gone all the way to Sydney and at Shellharbour it could have done with PG extending to the hills at least but I do remember it being very crisp clear PG and stunning colours probably the most realistic in FS2020.

I’ll re do that flight now in a Cessna 152 to try and re create those happy flights I did there in FS2020.

Will post it’s rating in MSFS2024 later on tonight.

Happy flying :helicopter: :ga_plane:

Cheers Paul :+1:

Have you flown down the coast to Alicante from Barcelona? The whole Alicante area is wonderfully rendered.

You were right. It’s amazing in MSFS2024! Didn’t make it to Sydney haha, too busy exploring the entire Shellharbour area. Think it gets a 13/15. It’s a decent size PG area. It has a Handcrafted Airport too. It’s a gorgeous part of the world. The landscape, rivers, coastline, beaches, hills and the Industrial areas are all crisp PG. Stunnning!

Alicante is stunning now in MSFS2024, I haven’t flown from there to Barcelona yet but judging by the way MSFS2024 renders the landscape in other areas I bet it looks amazing and the fact that non PG areas can now blend so well with PG areas is just a bonus in my book.

News flash Improved MSFS2024 PG!

Salt Lake City in Utah, U.S.A :us: now has very nice PG.

I only checked it out the other week and the PG was terrible, so well done Micro/Asobo for improving this! Unless I’m imagining things and it always looked this good :thinking:

It’s a very large area and the mountains are simply stunning. The non PG is blended the best I’ve ever seen!
Loads more exploring to do before it gets rated and added to the List but currently I’m thinking it rates at 13/15 possibly 14/15. Time will tell.

Enjoy folks :ga_plane: :helicopter:

So are they constantly updating the photogrammetry but not announcing it?

They really do a terrible job with highlighting the good areas to fly. There should be a map view with a heatmap with the resolution of the terrain and photogrammetry areas highlighted.
