Bing and Trees

Featured Replies

Sorry if this was mentioned already but the debate about the Bing consistency / update as well as the trees size made it to Asobo's board.

Good to see. While I have no doubt the "tree scale problem" can be solved easily, I wonder what they're planning to do about Bing. Hope we hear something on this soon.

About Bing, I think they already answered that question, bing is always updating and they (Bing guys) have more photogrammetry areas on the pipelines. Asobo and the MSFS team don't have much to do with it, they just get the access when available (apparently).

Also someone asked directly on the Bing forums if the bing guys had any kind of roadmap, and the answer was they don't have, updates are made available when they are ready.

That‘s what I thought as well but maybe they have some other „improvement plan“ up their sleeve.

That was me. But I only asked about photogrammetry updates (which seem rather sparse). Maybe the MSFS team could tell us more about other updates such as imagery in general or footprints.

I Hope so. The scenery is one of the aspects of this sim I’m most interested about.

This isn't just about knowing before it is updated.  It is about knowing at all in an easy way.  I would like to know about any updates that affect the sim, even if it is after the update goes live.  I would also like a list of all 80 Airports that were hand modeled, and all objects or cities that have hand modeling.

Keep in mind some people have internet limitations.  So they might be using a cached download of an area.  And they might turn off updates if they know the area has not been updated, or turn off the internet if no updates.  I have download limits with my ISP.  So if the sim lets me, I would like to lock my local area in the cache, so I can always fly it without having to redownload.  Hopefully I can lock it, or lock it but allow it to be updated.

I suggest that Microsoft create a MSFS web page that lists everything that was hand modeled.  And also show what map updates have happened that affect the sim.  Or, at the very least that the Bing group create a update page that only shows map look updates, and not things like SDK changes that currently clutter what they have now.

My brother has Coronavirus, confirmed by testing. On 3/26 he almost didn't survive the night.  He had extreme trouble breathing and was given a steroid inhaler.  He was very weak, had nausea, and other issues that aren't pleasant.  As of this update he is feeling much better, and seems he will be fine.  Stay safe out there.  (Updated 4/6)
