SamScene3D releases Kobe and Kyoto City Scenery for MSFS

A comprehensive redesign of these city areas, based on the precise geographical positioning of objects.
by Vasco Ferreira

SamScene3D is back in Japan with a new scenery package that encompasses two major cities in the country: Kobe and Kyoto. This new release continues the developer’s City series, which has already improved numerous locations not only in Japan but also in the United States, China, and more.

This Kobe and Kyoto City Scenery is a comprehensive redesign of these city areas, based on the precise geographical positioning of objects. SamScene3D has focused on optimizing textures, structures, bridges, and shorelines while adding numerous missing buildings and features.

The main objective is to represent Kyoto and Kobe at their best, integrating buildings that make the virtual cityscape a more realistic depiction of the real-world location.
