It doesn't look that much different from what I see in the video.

Are you and I watching the same video? I see a drastic difference in most of the video, other than the major city (New York?) at 7:55.

I mean, look at this screenshot [0]. Do you really think there's not much different?

The image you show definitely looks much better yeah. I guess I was watching a part of the video where the difference was more in the lighting and season

The issue is that the map data in FS2020 is not 1:1 with what's on Bing. In Bing maps, for example, I can see my apartment complex in bird's eye view, however in FS2020 it's a construction site (a 5+ year old aerial image).
