Added Realism for Autogen Buildings?

Featured Replies

One of the things that I have always disliked in MSFS is the rather clinical, clean and overly bright character of the autogen, none photogrammetry buildings. It got me thinking, if it would be possible to create some kind of shader/texture that could be applied to buildings to make them a little more realistic. I suspect I know the answer, but just a thought, as it would be an amazing addon.

I agree that the auto Gen building textures could use some improvement. I find many of the houses look like weathered cottages vs  suburban homes. In older sims addon developers came up with improved autogen packages. Surprised this has never happened since FS20.

It would transform the sim IMO. I hope a dev lands on this thread and gives an opinion as to whether it could be possible.

Yeah I agree.  In places that aren't PG it's a bit underwhelming.  I'd happily pay for some more nuanced autogen.  Particularly in places like Marrakech that are just a sea of what look like mid-rise Miami condos.  Bit of a vibe kill.  

Proper circular tanks at oil terminals. I really do not understand why this is such a big issue. I mean, is it that difficult for the AI to work it out? That, and the disappearing undercarriage on aircraft. I would be very interested to know what SeedyL thinks about these two issues, and whether Asobo even cares about them.
