    Glasgow. Scotland  - Image 1

    Description

    As requested by a few people here's my first attempt at bringing Glasgow into FS2020. The area covered is a fair chunk of the city, maybe a slightly larger area covered than my Edinburgh scenery was. As such its quite a big download and may or may not give you an FPS hit depending on the power of your set up. The level of detail is the same as my Edinburgh scenery.

    With Glasgow I decided to blend the ground texture of the Google maps photo telemetry with the sims own default ground and road texture. It does make the scenery merge into the surroundings much better but the down side is you run into trouble with bridges and raised roads. I know you can raise or lower the default terrain but it looks odd when you do that with water textures. As such there's a few areas where the river Clyde runs over low lying bridges slightly and where motorway flyovers have the photo telemetry road texture showing through. Its not an easy problem to solve as far as I can see. Still, it looks a lot better than the autogen version of the city.

    This looks really good but it's unflyable when approaching over the city or departing over the city, with like 10FPS and no it's not my system

    As far as I can see its a problem with the sim at the moment. I've got an RTX3080 and an Ryzen 5 5600X and since the last couple of Asobo updates all photogrammetry has killed performance for me. I was over halfway through making a new version of my Edinburgh scenery for the sim but I've had to put that on hold because I can't fly over it anymore. I get about 15FPS. Asobo apparently know there's an issue with the sim and are currently working to fix it so I guess we all just need to be patient and hope they get it sorted.

    It seems too much for my system too. Ryzen 5 with a rx5700xt 8GB. Not high end but not slow either, on low settings it would still stutter and play at 15-30fps. Med onwards and it was 10fps to hang. pity as I was looking forward to a flight over Glasgow.

    Hopefully the sim optimisations we're going to get for PC at the end of next month with the release of the Xbox version should make all these photogrammetry sceneries perform a lot better. Asobo have said it should make a big difference.

    Thank you for making this scenery! It looks great (although, yes, it does claim a few FPS...) Flying around her helps compensate for being unable to visit IRL at the moment :)

    Not sure what's wrong, but all of the buildings are white. Aerial view shows clearly the area that the mod covers as it is like it has snowed! Any suggestions what might be wrong?

    Using latest version of MSFS and have settings on Ultra for 4k display.

    Could be a conflict with another scenery mod but beyond that I'm not sure. The sim is temperamental with these scenery mods. I've had a few stop working for no apparent reason. Sometimes it coincides with them releasing a new patch.

    Amazing work.

    Yes, I share your sympathy with terraforming of water and google land imagery.. It's a tricky game of slight adjustments too many

    Cheers. Yeah I guess so much of the way the SDK works is a bit of a work in progress.
