Thanks for the heads up.
Will see how it blends (or conflicts) with the absolutely wonderful Washington DC scenery by Drzewiecki Design.

It doesn't seem to. I had thought about the same thing. Here are four screens, all use the new City Update: Northeastern United States and the wonderful Drzewiecki Design Washington, DC scenery.

Why is the Whitehouse grass all brown? don't they water it?

Well, for one thing my weather station here in Danville is now showing 104° with a heat index of 118°. Haven't mowed in three weeks. My grass is brown too, even what I pack in a bowl and smoke, LOL.

WOW! Makes me wonder if I should remove the Washington DC scenery by Drzewiecki Design and test it out with the City Update only? That's an incredible video, thanks for sharing.

Incredible detail! Nice views, especially the Capitol at night and the layered highways. Also the light reflections off the Lincoln memorial.

Impressive. Very impressive. Looking forward with anticipation to November.

I'm not impressed!! I see no spray paint graffiti on those statues.

I concur. I've never been there, but it all seems very convincing. I'm well impressed!

Looks good! Only one thing missing. Very poor representation of the traffic. There's at least 10,000 or more cars and trucks missing.

Not just DC, but I took a flight around Buffalo. Nice, even the static trains are 3D. But the developers didn't go far enough out, the missed Highmark Stadium, home of the Bills, by a mile, no Photogrammetry.

I've been considering the same thing, even if I guess we would lose the tenants of the White House, which Drzewiecki updates regularly when appropriate
