What is Photogrammetry?

Photogrammetry in flight simulation refers to the process of using photographic images to create accurate 3D models of geographical areas and structures. This technique offers an unparalleled level of detail and realism, allowing simulators to replicate real-world environments with high fidelity.

This add-on is a testament to the developer's dedication, crafted with the Google Earth Decoder tool, with all 3D modeling credits attributed to Google's comprehensive maps data.
