yanlaoge Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I am curious about this as it's a proof of the fidelity of TE UK. It would even be better if there are comparison photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 No nothing, the two places where we have lived which is only a couple of miles apart, now there’s a short move, no nothing. The roads are there and the odd few houses but not ours. . Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt McGee Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I don't have a house to comment on, but I was part of the Beta test team for TrueEarth Great Britain South. I routinely compared the scenery to Google Earth satellite imagery while searching for bugs. Most of the time I was able to match then up easily. Most buildings visible in GE satellite imagery are also on the photo-real layer of the scenery. However, you probably won't see an image of the roof of your house, because a 3D house will have been placed on top of where your house is. While the exact footprint shape of every house is not modeled, you will find many of the larger or uniquely shaped buildings in the satellite imagery have an appropriately shaped 3D structure placed in the scenery. The texture on that 3D structure may not be perfect, but the shape is often a good approximation of what is really there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Clarke Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Well I can see my house. I live in a very rural location and separated from other houses unlike city row houses. BUT......... my house is facing the wrong way and my neighbours houses of which there are 2 in real life have become 4. My house actually faces side on to the road but is depicted as facing the road and there is a clear colour footprint of the correct orientation on the photoreal. I will of course be demanding a full and unequivocal refund !!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Houses are not hand placed in TrueEarth. Their position is determined by the automated autogen process which does not always cover every footprint. For this reason we don’t claim that you can “see your own house” in any of our promotional materials. Only the larger odd-shaped commercial buildings, warehouses, factories and other landmarks are on their exact footprint. We may refine and improve the autogen process over time, as this technology is constantly evolving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Not my house but my small road, lots of interesting stuff though, schools, cricket ground, train stations, docks with all the imported cars, boat loads of stuff locally that I know...

DexyRed Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I believe I saw the roof of my house in the 2d photoscenery, but not as 3d autogen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey John, any chance/plans to see that tech coming to different regions as South America, Asia and Africa? I mean, not the ortophotos and all, but the regionalised autogen, landmarks etc. Those regions on X-Plane need some attention. Thanks and congrats on TE GB south.
