About Nice in particular, since it's my home city: last time I used the freeware photogrammetry addon for Nice (granted, it was at least one year ago), the buildings were also a bit melted. Colors were a bit better, but the area coverage was extremely small. The City Update 7 coverage is way larger, it goes much farther north, and as a consequence:

- the whole city surface is covered, unlike the freeware addon which stopped like one or two kilometers away from the sea...

- the surrounding villages are covered as well

- the mesh for the hills is much better

You just need to ensure you don't have any conflict from any other local scenery. From my side, I'm very happy with this City Update 7. I can finally see my home in photogrammetry in the sim. I can also see the homes of my brother and a friend which are living in the villages north of Nice, on the northern hills. Yes the photogrammetry models are UGLY when seen from close, but they look very good from a close-enough distance. Helicopter flghts are superb. Landing the helicopter near the house is not, but I can live with this. At least now the houses are not stupidly over sized (like one story too much) like the default autogen.

If a local signs off on this then the stamp of approval is confirmed.🍺

Alienware Aurora R11 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10700F - Windows 11 Home 32GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC 16GB - Pimax Crystal Light VR 

Keep in mind I have barely checked a few specific places so far. I gave my VR headset to my brother for testing it for a week, so I'm not able to use the sim until next weekend 😞

I just triggered the sim and moved around in slew mode quickly, without checking all of the details of the area. I have spotted a few issues for sure, but for now I'm quite happy about that scenery and can't wait to explore it more. The only thing I can really criticize so far is the size of the trees which is still too tall, despite having chosen the "small" setting in Accuseason.

Been doing low-altitude (1500-2000ft AGL) sightseeing over Barcelona, Madrid and Stockholm, looks great! Need to check out Lisbon and Nice as well.

The “City Update 7” is available in the Marketplace. There is no charge for for it, but you need to “buy” and install it from the Marketplace.

Unlike sim updates, world and city updates are optional - you don’t have to install them. World updates are offered in the content manager, and city updates in the Msrketplace.

World updates also need to be bought in the market place. Only updates to them can be found in the Content Manager.

I went to marketplace and typed update into the search box. There were 2 that I had neglected to buy freely. (I thought I had them all installed). 🤔

Almost acceptable for me with UEVR when I tested some months ago, maybe there are improvements since then in that VR, maybe I have search and test again.

Aerofly FS has native VR. And it works very very much better than does MSFS VR. And is problem free and easy to switch in and out of VR on the fly. I doubt MSFS 2024 will have native VR (because of Xbox compatibility).
