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.

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.

WOW! Makes me wonder if I should remove the Washington DC scenery by Drzewiecki Design and test it out with the City Update only?

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 :unsure:
