Description
Replaces the vanilla autogen buildings and updates to Google's more recent imagery to include the hotel and concert venue. Also added accurate lighting to the buildings, parking garage, and surrounding parking while blending as best as possible to the underlying Bing maps textures.
Note: May incur some frame drops at night and up close, I tried optimizing the lighting but it doesn't make as much of a difference since frame drops are from the mesh. There is also a terrain glitch at the middle intersection that can't be buffed out but isn't noticeable especially from afar.
To fly here you can go 18 miles NE from Sacramento Intl KSMF, 5 miles SSE of Lincoln Regional KLHM, or 13 NNE of Sacramento McClellan KMCC.
Thunder Valley Casino Resort is a hotel and casino located in unincorporated Placer County in Whitney, California near the city of Lincoln, California, 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Sacramento. The casino has over 3,000 slot and video machines, 125 table games, and a live poker room with enough space for 160 players. I am not promoting gambling or any irresponsible behaviors nor am I affiliated with Thunder Valley Casino. This was made to help bring the area more to life especially for those living in Northern California who recognize its iconic hotel and scenery or anyone exploring around the state capitol.

I haven't worked on that project lately because I've been trying to do Santa Monica Pier from Google which I'm currently having trouble working with Blender2MSFS to optimize for any future projects.

And like the other user's suggestion for Laughlin, Google hasn't made Photogrammetry for Winstar yet, however it does have some good Orthos which can still be imported and blended into Bing Maps as well. I don't have much experience 3D hand modeling in Blender unfortunately but I highly recommend putting it up for a request to model the hotel, globe, and some of the surrounding buildings.

Although I can try importing Google's Ortho for the city and blending some of the terrain with a similar process I did with this.
