I mean, you cannot just fly a drone or a private plane over a military base and start snapping pictures or video footage. If you worked there, I assume you are aware of the photography limits on U.S. bases? And, I am sure, for security reasons, the satellite imagery of military installations, not to mention a huge U.S. Air Force base, are very limited. And, what IS available to the general public is going to be even lower resolution than normal. Just some food for thought Trust me, I have served 28 years in the U.S. military and been to lots of bases. As much as I would love to see them accurately represented in my flight sim, I fully understand the realistic limitations and implications. Hope this makes some sense Cheers!

Ripcord Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Andy - they don't do photoreal for every single airport in any other FTX region. I'm trying to think of any other example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lincoln Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I suggest this, if you have an issue with the scenery you purchased, go to the effort of, Opening a Topic in the appropriate Forum designated to the Simulator. Providing Coordinates of the Location Providing a Screenshot Checking and reporting if you have a 3rd party Add On for this location. Providing your .cfg file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
