November 10, 20205 yr Commercial Member Does anyone know when and how often Bing satellite imagery will be updated?
November 10, 20205 yr If I understand correctly, then it only happens with the world updates every 2-3 months and only for the area the update is about. I really hope, that I am wrong though. Georgian Virtual Airports (UGMS Mestia / UGGT Telavi / UGAM Ambrolauri)
November 10, 20205 yr Author Commercial Member WOW! Satellite imagery updates every 2-3 or 6 months will be a very good improvement! I was afraid of update in a 2-3 years.😃 Edited November 10, 20205 yr by OSM
November 10, 20205 yr As far as I understand it Bing gets in new imagery all the time but because that‘s very fragmented the MSFS team decided to bundle them and release them in bigger chunks in their world updates. i9-11900K, RTX 4090, 32 GB ram, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, TCA Airbus sidestick and quadrant, Reverb G2

I was afraid of update in a 2-3 years.😃 But it is only for relatively small areas each time. So for any given area it is only every few years.

November 10, 20205 yr If the quality is good enough, I don't care about the date but for me it is about the huge amount of areas where is no satellite image at all. Georgian Virtual Airports (UGMS Mestia / UGGT Telavi / UGAM Ambrolauri)

November 10, 20205 yr I dont believe the high detail areas in Bing and Google maps are made by sattelites, i would think they were made with surveyor airplanes. Otherwise there is no good reason why some areas are so low detail, especially the poles since a lot of imaging sattelites (also weather, infrared and UV for example) are travelling over the poles every orbit. (North and South pole should have the highest detail according to that logic)
