From the first shots they showed of Sydney, they have now placed the opera house and the bridge. Unfortunately the bridge doesn't look like the original, which is just as iconic as the opera house, but let's hope they fix that before release.

I feel sure these will be high detailed specialized assets in the release version of the game. Much like other famous landmarks in the worlds cities. Nothing to worry about.

The bridge looks to me like an automatically placed or generated when the roads segment is over water. I think it's data driven and not custom made. I could be wrong though.

That was my first thought as well. It seems they have finally solved the „bridge problem“.

Yes, also the downtown buildings look generic (footprint data based I suppose)...  Yet I think they look really good in comparison to the plain footprint based infrastructure in the other sim.

It helps that roof colours are taken from the satellite imagery.

I took another look at the Sydney screenshot and I think they implemented vector roads:

The arrows in red seem like vector roads vs the arrows in green that are obviously the aerial photo roads...

In addition, it is very strange this non-marginal propensity that Microsoft has of planting entire forests in the city centers ... 🤔

Well, this is the Royal Botanical Garden. The trees are there all right, just not as tall in real life.

the issue with trees is probably the source data, it might not include things like height or tree type.

they would probably have to go in and edit each region

There is no need to convert a google maps view to a different format.

Just adjust the view in google maps and copy the webadress that gives you as a link. The pan and tilt values are saved.

 

Like this: https://www.google.de/maps/@-33.8792199,151.2268485,762a,35y,322.28h,68.61t/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en
