Key Features

• Detailed representation of Bergamo, nestled in the Alpine Lombardy region of Northern Italy.
• Accurate geographic positioning at 45° 41? 42? N, 9° 40? 12? E, offering a realistic flying experience.
• Photorealistic depiction of both Città Alta (Upper Town) and the modern cityscape.

Bergamo, the fourth-largest city in Lombardy, boasts a rich tapestry of history and culture. The old walled core, Città Alta, is encircled by Venetian defensive systems, acknowledged as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its proximity to Milan and natural boundaries like the Bergamo Alps, and nearby alpine lakes, add to its scenic beauty. This add-on captures the essence of Bergamo's dual character - the historical splendor of the Upper Town and the modern vibrancy of the lower city.

Technical Aspects of Photogrammetry in MSFS

Photogrammetry, a pivotal feature in modern flight simulation, involves creating 3D models from 2D photographs. In MSFS, this technology is leveraged to deliver hyper-realistic, detailed urban landscapes. By processing vast arrays of aerial images, the simulator constructs accurate, lifelike representations of geographical locations. This add-on exploits the full potential of photogrammetry, as seen in its detailed textures and structures, providing an immersive flying experience.

Integration and Compatibility

This scenery has been developed using the Google Earth Decoder tool, a testament to the community's innovative spirit in enhancing simulation realism. It integrates seamlessly with MSFS, offering an uninterrupted and cohesive experience. Furthermore, the scenery respects the geographical and architectural integrity of Bergamo, ensuring a true-to-life representation.
