Monaco 🎉

[@Condor-kh2sh]

I'm lucky enough to say I visited all these cities and walked many hours in them. I'm so excited to discover them now again in MSFS. Thank You!😀

[@andreasbergmann480]

Me is the same. In Stockholm Port is a Viking Line ferry i did Ride to Helsinki

[@Kyumilli]

That's so cool 👍 I hope to visit Europe some day

[@nettlewarrior8627]

I'm only missing Madrid from that list. Porto is a fantastic city, incredible architecture and a pretty scary bridge to walk over on the top level!

[@antsgamingvideosn2b]

Finally Stockholm gets an update!

[@equinx]

It's really nice to get Nice as we see a ton of the city on the approach.

[@jhallock]

Very nice! I like this format where they have enhanced high profile cities as a group, rather than just isolated areas of a country like the previous City Updates. This is the first one I'm actually interested in checking out, enjoy!

[@Ulysses182]

I see the Sagrada Familia is completed... This must be the leaked 2026 update 😄

[@dtrjones]

Haha, but being realistic here, they are not going to put a half finished building into the sim. It's like when Big Ben was being renovated, just imagine if they put the version covered in scafolding into the sim, that would be crap! 😁 Photogrammetry doesn't take any prisoners, so I guess these objects would need modelling.

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

On the other hand, it does appear that there are still only cuatro torres in the Cuatro Torres area of Madrid. There are cinco torres there now, but numero cinco is still pretty new, and this imagery likely predates it.

Post SU15 Update: ATC voices still cut out at random times requiring a reboot of the Sim. It is astonishing that 3 years after release the ATC voice system is still not equal to the system used in FSX, a program that was released nearly 18 years ago.

When can we see an update of the beautiful city of Istanbul?

[@travelcaribbean2009]

Yeah, and get the airport lol, since it doesn’t exist in the sim…

[@Sipha_]

Sorry I'm not sure but I don't think they can add photogrammetry to Turkish cities because, from what I see on Google Maps as well, there's no 3D modelled cities in Turkey either, which might be due to the laws in Turkey I know this sucks but it's just how it is in certain countries like Russia and China for example, the government doesn't allow 3D photogrammetry from "western" companies (outside from their country), which is why we only get 2D satellite images and only basic building generation on flight sim

One of my most memorable disappointments from the early days of the sim was visiting Monaco and seeing what a mess it was. I hope I'll be a little less disappointed on my next visit.

[@FTStratLP]

As much as I like the looks of all these photogrametry cities, the runways of the airports in these cities will get the infamous PG cracks and rifts which will make proper landings impossible.

[@AraujoThePunisher]

BRASIL??? CADE A VALORIZAÇÃO PROS CONSUMIDORES SULAMERICANOS???

That's because bing doesn't focus on Latin America.Asobo is French, so the priority is Europe and all areas covered by satellites.

[@Izmael1310]

To get this level of detail (buildings, skycrapers etc) is it about the TLOD and OLOD max settings? Also SU15 broke the maidera airport, there is a big hump in the airport and runway. Please fix it.

@@Rickdeckard78872South America is not a government. Surely they can work with independent countries in South America.

[@superdiomond2138]

​@@juniortsfAs per their saying they try. But they cannot get data from these countrys (due to local governments). Just look into their livestreams where they have explained this multiple times

[@PilotSeb]

@@superdiomond2138 There are always workarounds to at least make the terrain look better. There is a shit ton of clouds glued to the terrain in South America, and it looks terrible. I'm pretty sure that Asobo can fix that

[@visualdarkness]

​​@@PilotSeb They still need good data to work with and they won't be able to ignore the governmental demands. And a huge huge part of SA is barely even mapped to any modern detail. Also many poorer countries want more money for their data.

@@MrNeilRoberts I use an RTX 3070 on the laptop

I would recommend setting everything to low first then slowly increase settings until you hit a fos limit … TLOD needs to be very low (80-100) and cloud low and use DLSS performance see how you go. (Cessna 152 to start with) Having said all that I used to have 2080super and managed half decent performance but now on 4090 I still have to tweak settings down a bit.

@@Duquepilot I don't want to defend them, but they rely heavily on good terrain/map data and photogrammetry. If that is not available, you can only do this by building it by hand, which is far too much work for things like complete cities.
