Well the error I pointed out is only in the trailer, it's fine in the sim.

Hey @fogboundturtle. Does Metrotown shopping center look like this for you?

If Metrotown shopping center looks better for you, let me know. Maybe I had a bad connection or something.

The photogramnetry of big building is an hit an miss in Vancouver. Some building looks burned. others looks perfect.

I worked in the following building for 10 years and it's pretty spot on

This is what I saw for Knight Street Bridge:

and Lansdowne shopping center:

39a0c829069eaa79d65680ace19b46ef1a1d39af

If you are seeing better quality than this when you flew over Knight Street Bridge and Lansdowne shopping center, let me know.  I really hope I just had a bad connection. Otherwise, I'm pretty disappointed with this Canada World Update for metro Vancouver.

I was hanging out at JFK looking at AI traffic, then as I returned to the main menu to change to LAX, I was advised of an "essential packages update". My reacting at first was "what the world not allowed is this". THEN I remembered Canada was scheduled for today. Sweet! Good trailer. Already started on a flight list: 

Destruction Bay Yukon
Prince of Wales Hotel Alberta
West Kootenay Regional Airport BC
Banff Springs Hotel Alberta

I probably won't fly anywhere else for the next month - so my next world tour is delayed until further notice 😁

I see the same thing all over the place. It looks like the photogrammetry in Vancouver cover a very large area (LML) but the quality of bigger building is very coarse at time.  One note though, the accuracy of road and building is absolutely spot on. Much better than before.

Ok, it's not just me then 😞. The photogrammetry is that bad for metro Vancouver 😫

Ahh well, FSimStudio said they might do a scenery enhancement package for metro Vancouver. I hope they will do it. I guess we'll see.

I am seeing the same PG issues all over.  The CN Tower looks like an assteroid hit it and got embedded in it - LOL.  I have a 1gb connection so I know it's not my bandwidth.  I also noticed that the snow implementation at Bella Coola is horrid...........the runways gets completely covered in snow and you cannot see it - looks unrealistic - maybe it's an MSFS issue.

Sincerely,

So if you fly in Edmonton, you just hit gold with this Canada World Update:

Look at that beautiful photogrammetry for Edmonton!  I wish Vancouver had the same quality of photogrammetry that Edmonton has 😞

For now I have gone with uninstalling WU11 and reinstalling the Vancouver Bridges and Port.

Looks much more like the real thing. 😉

I'm sure everyone has seen the Canadian airports sale on the marketplace window. Other big MSFS retail sites have sale on the same Canadian  airports. And the homepages of the airports builders have sales. Even flightsim.to. It happens every world update!

I have maybe purchased 40 airports altogether. All but 1 was on sale (Burbank). And almost all of them right after a world update. That's when I always strike!

I don't get why Edmonton has such good photogrammetry.  From downtown, to University of Alberta, etc, Edmonton photogrammetry is looking pretty good.

But metro Vancouver photogrammetry looks like a war zone.  SMH.

PG in Vancouver and Toronto was horrendous,   London(UK) levels of apocalyptic hell.    Not impressed at all with what I've seen so far.  It's getting deleted.

Lot's of elevation issues as well. I'm re-enabling the freeware mesh for BC/Vancouver Island.

Bit of a fail to say the least.   They clearly need to put WU's in public beta as well as SU's.

And yet Edmonton photogrammetry is pretty good.  What is going on?

Can't Asobo get good photogrammetry data for Vancouver and Toronto? Why does Edmonton photogrammetry looks so good?

(I'm just bitter that metro Vancouver looks like a wasteland while Edmonton looks so good)

The Oilers will beat the Canucks in hockey this year too, by the way.
