I’m not sure that’s necessarily the case.
Like I said in my earlier post, I can quite confirm that images of 2 bridges in construction in this area not in the sim.
The first bridge, where initial ground breaking started 6 years ago, shows only that in the sim. Initial groundbreaking. At all LOD levels in Bing where you can actually make out ground detail, that bridge is complete as it opened over a year ago.
We have a second bridge going up spanning across a river and it being built at record speed, it seems. Initial groundbreaking on both shores for survey work started in 2016. In the sim, there’s no sign of any groundbreaking at all. Yet on Bing Maps, at all LODs, the imagery is from early spring 2021 and shows the bridge in a very advanced state of construction.
Bearing in mind, this isn’t a PG area, so this is standard Bing imagery here. If what Jorg said was correct and Blackshark was constantly updating the data, this wouldn’t be the case.
This is the highest level where it’s visible. In sim, ground data is much higher res than this.
At highest zoom level. This is the level of detail I see on ground imagery of the sim.
In MSFS, there isn’t the slightest hint of any of this bridge, meaning the imagery in the sim is older than 2016, so 5+ years old, despite Bing having data that’s less than a year old.
