blackshark.ai was used for generating building models with textured facades from footprints. Their thing for generating airports was actually not used in MSFS. The photogrammetry from satellite photos in MSFS 2024 was done by Maxar Technologies.

Ah, neat. How do you know this?

And also, was it any different for MSFS 2020?

My side-project is working on addons, so I spend a lot of time with Flight Simulator. 2020 didn't have the photogrammetry from satellite photos, only from aerial photos in major cities. The blackshark buildings are used wherever they don't have any photogrammetry available.

Neat (again :) ).
