Both of these will look very good... but only from a certain distance.
In the case of photogrametry buildings, things could get a bit ugly when viewed from very close.
In the case of generic buildings, well... they are generic.
So in both cases, there is room for a good OrbX-style airport scenery with accurate 3D buildings that would be beautiful even from very close distance (think about hangars, jetways etc...).
But yes, sceneries based on landclass are probably not going to happen in FS2020... and that's not a bad thing
I certainly agree when it comes to airports but I havent seen anything from any scenery provider that compares with what MS is planning to release as default in the new sim.
Some of the stuff in the 'teaser 'videos is quite stunning. The question isnt can this be matched but can it be bettered? Looking at these pre release videos, I doubt it.
and I think that might be the problem. We will see.
At least the flight sim is alive again. All good.
