Enhance downtown Nanaimo using Google 3d data .
A note to those who expect Google photogrammetry would meet their need .
Google photogrammetry " ONLY " serves one purpose :
A good visual experience on daytime flyby of at least 1000 feet high .
That is it , nothing else .
Best regards
Minh .

I love this scenery but would you consider adding a bit more, and include the area with Costco all the way up to the "Nanaimo" sign at the north city limits?

My installation is a mess with shapes and oblongs of all types instead of buildings and scenery. Would this be due incompatibility with SU9?

Hi , Upon seeing your comment , I've taken a flight from CYCD to CAT4 . Nanaimo downtown just looks the same as in the pictures above . I don't know what's wrong with your instalation of the scenery . Google photogrammetry basically is just VERY BIG LOW POLYGON 3D MODELS that cover a very large area . It looks good only faraway like at least 1000 feet high . Since they are just very low polygon 3D models , they look very bad upclose .

Thank you for your kind comment ! I already did my best . Without Vancouver Island mesh , they look like the screen shots above . But with Vancouver island mesh , They may look even worst .

Amazing mod! I would say the only downside is if you are very close to the object you can see the texture and weird stuff flowing all over the place but from high altitude it is very good.

Thank You! I'm across on Gabriola Island so this is home base or me. I'd love to see someone tackle the Gulf Islands and their floatplane bases

This is awesome - between the elevation for all of VI and now a city photogametry project like this - hopefully you and Planeguy can keep working on these - my vote for Victoria - Port Alberni - Comox and Courtney please.

Very much love the scenery, very well done on a great job. One small point there appears to be water texture/level issues around the boats. Can this be fixed?

Thank you for your positive comment ! Google photogrammetry treats water as 3d models and are attached to boats and jetties . Jetties and small boats are very close to the water surface . At LOD19 , jetties and water are at the same height . In order to hide Google photogrammetry 3d water , jetties and small boats . We need to sink THEM beneath MSFS 2020 water surface . If we do that , they will be all disappeared . If we want jetties and small boats appear on top of MSFS 2020 water , Google 3d water also appear . I already deleted a lot of those 3d models water that are not attached to boats and jetties .
