One of the biggest innovations in Flight Simulator 2024 is the introduction of “countryside TIN” data. This ultra-high-resolution terrain data provides detail down to 50 centimeters in some areas.
Microsoft has already purchased 1 million square kilometers of this high-resolution data, with plans to expand coverage. The long-term goal is to cover all of North America, Western Europe, Australia, and Japan with this level of detail.
In Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, users experienced photogrammetry cities for the first time.
For the 2024 version, Microsoft has doubled the number of these cities, adding even more urban landscapes and further enhancing areas with LiDAR data, which provides stunning, precise detail for regions that have never been mapped this way before.
