Welcome back, photogrammetry

I've never loved photogrammetry, I like the idea but I also like to get close to things, and that's where you lose the immersion. So flying over a city at 1500 metres is good, as long as you don't look too close.
For the last day or two MSFS hasn't been streaming anything, so when it started working again I took advantage of it. Sometimes you just want to grab a random default aircraft and go for a blat along the Hutt River now that the bridges have been improved. Sure, the photogrammetry goes to custard after a while, but it's fun for a quick run!

You found better bridges than I did, wow even the attached pipeline is modelled in that first one!
You should get out more.

It seems better to fly where you don't really know your way around. The “glued objects” are not always a reason to be happy. A high-rise hotel building from the 1970s is not made of concrete and does not look like the original in Potsdam, but rather like the Hotel Ukriana in Moscow from the Stalin era. A cable ferry in my area can be seen, but is shown incorrectly. You can understand this given the number of objects. The palace complexes in Sanssouci in Potsdam were not as lucky as the Neuschwanstein decorative castle of old Ludwig of Bavaria. Cecilienhof Palace in Potsdam, where the post-war division of Europe until 1989 and with it the Iron Curtain was established, is completely missing.
Things look even bleaker in the Baltics. But you can't search like crazy for everything.
