3D Buildings on Bing Maps

Featured Replies

What happened to the 3D buildings and objects on Bing maps. I thought it would give me an good indication of the level of detail coverage MFS would have in my area but the bird's eye view only give a slanted view of the flat image, or am I missing something. I am sure the 3D views were available in Bing before but I can not find it.

Check the Microsoft Maps app.  It's different from Bing maps.

Thanks, got the app and I can see 3D buildings in the US but nothing in my area of the world (South Africa) 😞

Honestly, photogrammetry is still a bit of a gimmick anyway in its current implementation in the sim. I won't go into too much detail here, but both the photogrammetry scenery as well as the standard autogen scenery have their advantages and drawbacks. In many cases, I actually prefer the AI-generated autogen buildings.

Photogrammetry:

Looks incredible from afar. Gets unrealistic the closer you get (especially details are not depicted very good) + loading issues.

Standard scenery:

Doesn't look as realistic, but looks better up close. Better performance.

 

No, I am not an Alpha tester. 😄
