Thanks for the interesting details. Glad to see there’s an offline version that disables photogrammetry.

The church in england is a good example where a a generic rectangle building model doesn’t work. They could improve the offline version by adding a church model in the set offline model set, and use it for 90% of church in space England.

A fully realistic model of every single building may be cool for architects, future historians, city planners, … but don’t help pilots much. Having a simulation that representative of a real city, with buildings of the right size and positions, landmarks, and hero buildings is good enough. There are others parts of flight simulators that are more important.
