Noticed you edited your comment to include 'You clearly have no idea how ungrateful you are.' haha firstly, i'll again point out where i said 'I could spend the day praising the majority of this game'.

However, the game ain't free is it chump. If i'm buying a game to which the full price is $120 & they deliver a game where you can visit every major city & it look incredibly close to how it's meant to be, but then put in far less effort into one of them that they know is very popular, dp a deal with a third party dev & lock an addon for that city behind a paywall, that still doesn't fix many of the issues or bring it near the level of other cities then i have every right to criticise & question some of the technical decisions that come with buying said addon.

Just because you don't have an issue with it, doesn't mean others don't. Look around, the issue with London is being widely talked about everywhere & if anything, it'd be good to have some answers to some of the questions.

You really are a joke. O BTW look at how many likes my comment got 12 as of this reply. Let's not call them "likes" there "agreements".

Are you not reading all the replies, there tell you in different ways your wrong. So.....what are you going to do? well by the looks of it you're going to carry on making a fool of yourself. "chump" lol

For a first go, London looks fine.

My God, the whining is just getting totally out of hand.

So, kindly, stop banging on like a crying baby about how your city, town, hamlet, village, hut, etc. doesn't look like that in real life.

Here is a hint: The world doesn't revolve around London!

Looks fine, but is lacking too many places compared with Paris, for example. But as said, the only options are 3D landmarks or photogrammetry. So some day. 

There are times when I am disappointed with the AVSIM community, and this is one of them.

I would think that each and every different city we live in as simmers is as important as London, Washington, Paris, and others are, that we would love to have it 100% correct, but we know that is not going to happen, and that we will not see some kind of issue. All the major cities are no more important than the cities that we each live in, or grew up in, or have family in. Hopefully as new Bing Maps updates are brought in, each of OUR cities will improve. At least I hope each simmers city of choice gets improved in the future. Not just the select ones, from Asobo and MS. Now 3rd parties of course they can't make millions of cities and will only make popular ones. But most of us don't live in a Paris, Seattle ( you know MS ), London, Dubai, etc...

Just improve the entire planet Asobo & Microsoft with your scenery updates, and make us all happy! Not just the people that live in BIG cities!

So that's another London Problem, all the musical talent is 200 miles north of it! 😎

Ahem.
Adele, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Jess Glynne, Billy Idol, Elton John, Dua Lipa, Dizzee Rascal, George Michael, Professor Green, Tinie Tempah, Stormzy, Bastille, Bloc Party, Blur, The Clash, Dire Straits, Faithless, Fleetwood Mac, Florence + the Machine, Groove Armada, Hot Chocolate, Jamiroquai, Klaxons, Led Zeppelin, The Libertines, Madness, Motörhead, Pink Floyd, The Police, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols, Skunk Anansie, Spandau Ballet, Status Quo, Suede, The Who, the list of internationally-renown bands and artists goes on...

While the North West has showcased some incredible musical talent, London isn't exactly a dry well. 😉

Thing is, everyone wants to see their home town delivered in high fidelity.
Paris is acceptable for most people, but not wonderful. Whereas Washington D.C. is as bad as London, IMO.

Some countries do well. Notably the USA, Canada, Germany, Italy and Spain, each with lots of photogrammetry cities to explore.

As usual, anywhere outside North America and Western Europe does extremely poorly. We can only hope that Orbx and other 3PDs with city scenery products bring quality, affordable add-ons to fill-in the gaps, while waiting with fingers crossed that Bing Maps gets hold of, and uploads, photogrammetry data for our preferred cities.

Exactly! Sydney doesn't even have the Harbour Bridge or Centrepoint Tower. Hardly a game breaker for me though. For default scenery its amazing!

Good point, and one that I failed to articulate as clearly. The whole of London do not fly MSFS. If developer attention should be focused on interested population, it is not the population of the real world area but where the gamers/simmers live. We are all equal here. London does not deserve more attention than other cites. Btw, if you saw Squirrels movie from Panama you would notice that the city doesn't really look anything like the real thing. The AI didn't manage to translate the skyline into actual skyscrapers, and so most of the tall buildings are turned into small houses. I bet it isn't the only place where such things have happened. So I don't believe for a second that London is in some special ackward position in this regard.

Paris has about the same number of custom places modeled as London.

And if you live in the 108 Tower in Melbourne, well, you're never going to find your house 😉

My dream:  "Gee, I wonder if the animated lights on the Dallas Reunion Tower are going to be animated correctly at night!"

My reality:  Who am I kidding?  Dallas isn't a photogrammetric city in MSFS.

"Hometown?  We only WISH we'd had a hometown!" 😄

London looks bad, but there are other cities that look worse, Stockholm and Helsinki for example, I think we must give this sim a couple of years to mature before we all will be happy.

Well, no. But literally nobody in this thread has said it does.

Also, Chock: you mentioned Black in your list of bands over "to the left". So sad when he died. Soundtrack to my teenage years before I did a bit of a u-turn and discovered distorted guitar 😎

I think you might need to improve either your research or your geography 🙂 many of those you list are not from London or even anywhere near it. For example: Motörhead's Lemmy was from Stoke-on-Trent, Led Zeppelin's Bob Plant is a Brummie, he was born in West Bromwich, The Police's Sting is a Geordie, drummer Stewart Copeland is a Yank, he's from Virginia, and their guitarist, Andy Summers, is actually another Northerner, he's from Poulton-le-Fylde!
