Not sure the point of this image.  But since you chose a photogrammetry area, everyone would agree that at ground level it has issues.  If you let yourself experience it in practice, however, you'ld see the even 200' up from this screen shot it looks significantly better - and its the real buildings, not lego approximations.  Even so you do have the option to turn PG off and go with the base AI autogen which is still better than the default xplane assets because Blackshark's system matches roof shape and colors from the satellite imagery, something strategies relying solely on OSM cant do.  PG vs autogen is a tradeoff, least in msfs you have a choice to use the one you prefer.

I just find it marginally hilarious that some people prefer it to

And even go so far as saying Laminar should make that look more like it.....

I like giving joy I guess.

I find that pretty dull, boring and dated, and prefer to recognize the actual buildings in the town.  I flew over the university I went to (which happens to fall in a PG area) and could make out the fraternity letters of the house I lived in back in the day.  

Does that matter to flying a plane .. nope.. not at all.

Is it really cool to see when virtually visiting a location?... you bet.

They both use identical data to place the buildings (OSM street map), xplane is just better at it, because they've been doing it for longer, and you dont have to wait 2 hours for it to download.

Sorry, I stopped reading after "Apparently...".  I would love to continue this discussions with you, but I have more important things to do.  

Have a wonderful day.

Well, its always here for you to come back, read, and reflect on your frustrations...

This is precisely why few people take you seriously.  You keep forcing what you believe onto others.  So it's almost impossible to have a proper discussion with you.

Aside from the "fact" that my rep to post ratio disputes your statement. I don't "need" anyone to take me seriously...particularly those who immediately try to "scold" me or "others" for sharing thoughts / opinions...on a forum board.

..."force what you believe onto others"

That is a new one...you go ahead and do those "important things".

Probably isn't something you should really be proud of tho.

I still don't understand what you think looks good about the former? Could you explain it to me plse. Like, its pretty easy to make X-Plane look like MSFS, but I am still at an absolute loss why you would want to.

So you dont have to wait for 2 hours for the scenery to download everytime you want to fly somewhere?

They say the more and more you tell a lie, eventually "the people" will start to believe it.

Unfortunately for you @mSparks, there aren't really many folk in this XP forum to believe it...and MSFS (according to their stats) has over 2 million pilots who "know" that your statements are not true.

So in the words of GoranM....(substitute "lies" for "what you believe")...

If I could @mSparks, i would share my rep ratio with you so that at least it would "look like" people take you seriously...

Now get the right pics, learn to answer questions as opposed to deflecting, and then we can have a mature conversation..

by "right pics", I presume you mean what msfs looks like after you've waited 2 hours for it to download the scenery?

Sorry, but my even my helo would be elsewhere by then.
