I didn’t say all remote regions. The argument is moot. It will never happen. Everyone can boycott the game because of it. All that would happen is they would cancel the sim project. It is cost prohibitive and a direct competitor to their business, not just mapping.
The trees are added via autogen AI, they never claimed every tree would be the same as in real life. They have already stated world updates for Bing data would be ongoing
Simple fact is it will never happen and I seriously doubt Google would welcome any collaboration either for the exact same reasons. If you don’t like the terrain, which is the best ever seen in a simulation to date, then don’t play it but hoping MS will use Googlemaps data is a pipe dream, I don’t care how many people complain, boycott, or whatever else they do in protest.
