If I recall correctly, photogrammetry data is streamed from the servers. The above file (and similar files for other cities) simply tells the sim where and what to request from the servers.

It must be for whole sections of a city that it instructs the server to download photogrammetry for. It can’t be instructions for a house to house basis because that’s too small of a file for instructions on a house to house basis, because it’s for all the cities across Canada.

For Vancouver, the WU11 PG cities option increases the area from downtown only, to the Lower Mainland, right out to UBC.

If you turn this off, the downtown area remains which looks better.  Replacing the downtown core with the above mentioned Google Earth mod, removes the need to stream all the downtown buildings which can lead to the "melted" look.  And yes, the mod is 2 GB+ in size..

I am from Vancouver and I don’t have the Vancouver bridges mod installed. I can tolerate the autogen bridges in Vancouver in MSFS, it’s not that big of a deal for me. For the harbor mod though, I may get that. The photogrammetry cranes are really ugly and distracting, especially when I try to emulate the Harbour Air Twin Otter landing at the downtown Vancouver seaplane terminal.

As for the Canada World Update, it just makes Vancouver look really bad. Too much low quality photogrammetry in the Canada World Update, including so many melted buildings. I uninstalled it the day after it was released. The MSFS team did not do a good job for Vancouver in the Canada World Update.

Granted that Vancouver in SU10 is not good. But as many here have attested, the freeware fixes make it look a lot better. I suggest you try them and see for yourself.

So with the Vancouver Improvement Mod in place, would it be necessary to uninstall Canada PG in the content manager? Since the mod replaces the downtown WU11 PG? And similar with Roman Design’s Toronto Enhancement - it also replaces downtown PG. Or am I missing something here?

In a comment on flightsim.to, the author of the Vancouver mod says:

This mod has an exclusion polygon for the area covered so even if you turn on PG, the default PG will not show up.

Thank You very much! Every day can learn something new old fart like me, too. I searched  behind a wrong button - those two that are middle of the screen.
