FIMP satellite imagery..

Post by JonnyT » Wed Oct 13, 2021 10:28 pm

Just did an approach to FIMP. Noticed the satellite imagery is very low resolution, and the polygons are visible. No other addons for the area. Also have seychelles without this issue.

Is there a way to use the Bing imagery instead? or is this not how the aerial is supposed to display?

If you want to check Bing imagery on the island, you can disable our addon. I'm sure you'll prefer our version. ;-)
Unfortunately, MSFS has its limits when it comes to ortho imagery, mostly because the imagery isn't compressed and there's a size limit to files within a certain area. The resolution we provide is the best possible for an island that size in MSFS. We hope that will change in the future.

I understand the files would be excessively large, but for example, on the final approach path it would be good to see higher resolutions on the parts we get close to. Would that be possible?

That is theoretically possible as you can provide different levels of resolution within a scenery. We'll consider that.
