City of Budapest in photogrammetry (LOD20 ) imported from Google earth. Color correction and sharpness have been applied for better visual viewing. Tested on High end GPU machine (RTX2080 in 2K resolution) with smooth play.

Great work, congrat! You made the FIRST (at least for me)nice photogeomertry scenery. I hope you will continue this amazing work. I think this is the only future of flightsims to be as lifelike as possibble. Hand made sceneries can't match with this level of quality. I even like the trees which are the weakest pionts of photogems (in most case). To all others, please don't make photogem scs less than LOD20, they are ugly on low altitude.

Is it possibble to control /edit what distance LODS come up? I play in VR, I have a RTX3080 and with HPG h145 it start to sweet and some time deatails come a little bit slow. Anyway I deleted all objects from Budapest....this started a new area.

Very nicely done, and for such large files (which was necessitated by LOD20, not the authors fault), the optimization is surprisingly good, the performance is better than expected! At this resolution you can fly helicopters and still have a decent image to look at, not just a blurry mess. My only (little) complaint is that the night lighting could a tad be stronger. Plus an even wider coverage area would be great (maybe in the future?), however the most important parts of the city are well covered. It's beautiful to look at, with everything being done to mitigate the inevitable performance hit. Great job, renewed my interest to fly over my home city!

Dear Steveli! Encouraged by your example, I tried to make the missing southern part of Budapest - but with a LOD of 17-20, the result is something awful, not even close to yours. What I use: Earth2MSFS ( _earth_decoder_now_userfriendly/) and Thalixte Blender python scripts ( -Earth-Decoder-optimisation-tools). If it is not a secret, would you tell me what tools and settings you used to make Prague and Budapest? Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm glad you work on the extension of my mod. I use the same tool as you used: Earth2MSFS and Google-Earth-Decoder-optimization, and I used LOD18-20. Alos, I did a color correction and image sharpness enhancement using Photoshop.

Everything is ok, except two huge green patches on the Danube. My Icon A5 almost gets stuck in them (as in a swamp). When I manage to get out one of them, I "collide" with the river as though there was a tidal wave.

Now this became one of my favorite cities for flying. It even ended looking better than Prague. I hope you do your version of Vienna, Zagreb, Belgrade, Bucarest, Ljubljana, Berlin, Warsaw, all the ones you want jaja

It seems you are missing the files from Budapest_n_2.zip. Make sure unzip n_2 into community folder and make sure you have the file "budapest_n_modeLib.BGL" is in the folder of ....\community\Budapest_n\scenery\mycompany.
