    FS2020 does. It uses bing maps satellite imagery, interprets the map and procrdurally generates buildings. It’s impressive, but up close the buildings look generic and rarely accurate. Google Earth looks better.

    However they do have hand made maps of big cities, these are very realistic.

      My hometown which is tiny is accurately represented in Microsoft flight simulator, I have no idea who took the effort to do that.

      The only reason I can think of is that due to some stupid local political reasons it has a major train station despite being a small town, so perhaps they just modelled everything with extensive public infrastructure.
