World Update Illinois/Midwest or City Update Chicago

Chicago has photogrammetry, it’s just very limited in its scope compared to other major cities. At the very least, it should be expanded past O’hare.

Please can they hit Missesota too? Duluth is so disrespected. I’d love to see what they did in Canada done with the mid west.

Also hoping for expanded Chicagoland PG. Lots of MSFS users in Chicagoland. Places like Naperville, Aurora to the W and Gary area to the SE could benefit greatly from a good PG upgrade.

looks like this has happened now, but Naperville Aurora remain missing

As mentioned above…

Do you happen to know how often photogrammetry scans are updated?

No, I do not. There are usually at least some changes whenever an area is revisited in a new WU / CU, but other changes - if any - outside of a WU / CU have not been announced, AFAIK.

Gotcha, thank you.
