If they were to actually let you download the photogrammetry, I imagine it would probably be a few hundred GB.

Indeed, and I wouldn’t mind that at all … but the “update” process is very bizarre.  I select “download” and it shows a progress bar and stops at about 5% with 200KB (out of XYZ GB) and just stays there making one think it hasn’t finish downloading.  So when I click on the progress bar area that seems stuck at 5%,  it switches to “Ready to Install”?  So what happened to the other 95%?  From there I click the Install button at the bottom of the screen and get “Installing” progress wheel which only takes a few seconds.  

This process is repeated for any and all “updates” available.

I don’t know what they were thinking when they came up with this UI for updates, but it’s definitely on my top 5 list for worst UI ever created … the design is clearly created by a developer that doesn’t have much experience with UI design and not a dedicated UI resource (larger companies typically will have dedicated UI/UIX resources).

1.  When using the download option why show an incorrect progress bar duration?  If it’s not downloadable then why present the option at all, just install the small 200KB update file.

2.  Given that this update is free, why do I have to go to the “Marketplace” at all when I’m not buying anything and this is part of the “base content” … what’s the point of sending me thru this process?  Just update it, these are all part of the “official” content anyway.  

I can’t say this is due XBOX/PS5 compromised UI, it’s just a bad UI.

Anyway, it’s a nice update, so glad Asobo made it available.

Took a flight from Rotterdam via Den Haag to Amsterdam, and was very pleased. Photogrammetry was especially sharp in Rotterdam - even PG wind turbines or high voltage pylons were in a recognizable shape, which was a first for me. They also introduced some new autogen types (typical churches, greenhouses and row houses with those typical gables). Just the live traffic ships in Rotterdam harbour were off as usual, and some addon seems to conflict there too.

RDPresets Rotterdam EHRD v2 seems to be fine with City Update 14 in spite of no newer SimPixel version.

Don't you see those two towers? I have this problem and no solution.

Perfect timing as the classics (cycling) are in full swing 😉😀

 

 

Yeah, now do I and SimPixel has no plans for a new EHRD it seems, unlike with RD’s LIRN which got a SimPixel version.

That almost makes me want to enable PG.

Almost..... 

I was also a cynic, but this kind of quality has made me change my mind.
The overall impression is superb, if you go nitpicking, less so, but that is
not what photogrammetry, or TIN, is about at all.

Note that the image quality has been degraded.
The direct link is much better quality: https://i.postimg.cc/m2YJv6xv/719.jpg

There are trees at FT EHAM terminals. Yes, I know that the scenery has not been adapted for FS2024.

silly question.  is SimPixel is a completely different company to RD?   or is it just a brand name change like Glideslope Pro etc 

thanks

I was not aware that SimPixel had anything to do with RD Presets. Where did you hear that?

nowhere I just thought it was one of these devs changing names again as there is already a LIRN scenery 

I cannot find that City Update 14 at FS2024, PC version
