What are the best photogrammetry regions in MSFS?

Recommended Posts

After our London discussion (of how bad it looks),  I was wondering what's everyone's take on the best regions in MSFS for photogrammetry?  Here's my list so far:

1. The State of Florida

2. The South West US (California, Arizona, Utah, etc)

3. PNW (Pacific Northwest - US)

4. Hawaii

Would love to here were the best flying locations are worldwide in the sim.🍺  We more than have enough locations that leave allot to be desired.😌

Northern Italy including Venice up into Austria and along the Mediterranean coast around the cote d'azur.

Fabulous!

New York is pretty decent as are the cities that have been updated by the World updates (except London) and more recently by City updates.  I particularly like flying around the principal cities of Germany and there are plenty of those to explore.

Copenhagen (just head north from EKCH) is amazing.

Are we talking about photogrammetry or about regions? If I am not fully mistaken, none of the regions mentioned here have 100% photogrammetry coverage...

I'm talking about regions where photogrammetry is rendered in the highest quality.  Some people are listing cities here but that's not what I'm asking.  Florida for example from the Georgia boarder to Key West is rendered in detail not found in many other areas (some remote areas are the exception which is to be expected).  Yes focused cities have this and has been discussed before but not whole regions.  I'm curious how many other countries and/or large areas have this level of detail.  Australia for the most part has this level of detail but not many other regions.🧐

I used the example of Florida as we do have areas in the sim where the detail goes beyond limited cities. So in essence the question is about regions/countries etc. not cities.🙂

Photogrammetry covers cities rather than entire regions but Germany has most of its main cities covered.

I've never seen any photogrammetry outside of the few citiest hat have been covered.

Are you asking about photogrammetry or Bing Maps coverage?

I'm hoping that ASOBO might do a bit more for the British Isles apart from correcting the mess that is London, major cities like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast and Dublin would be decent additions.

O.k., maybe I used the wrong term.  Take a low lever flight from Jacksonville to Daytona.  See how detailed the streets and neighborhoods are.  The same can be said about the whole Gold Coast of Australia.  What areas around the world have that level of detail flying from one city to another?😶  Maybe it's a Bing maps thing.🤪

Could that be because the number of houses/building is limited and appear more realistic in some areas then in others?

UK (particularly London) is the worst for photogrammetry.

I generally find cities which have square/ rectangular buildings and more of a grid iron layout looks better along with the recent WU PG cities/
