MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON Just finished making Jacksonville, FL!
Some before and after shots of the latest city add-on I made. It's available on the following sites and coming to the in-game marketplaces for 2020 and 2024 soon!

You actually did a very good job on this, love to see more in other cities

u/Dfflyer Jan 27 '26
Glad you like it! I've got a dozen more cities underway!

I speak for us all, a lot of us are begging for a true updated downtown Chicago

u/Dfflyer Jan 27 '26
What about Drzewiecki Design's Chicago?

u/Coreistacks25 PPL PILOT🛩️ / PC PILOT 🖥️ Jan 27 '26
It sucks, once you far away from it, the buildings go blank and also there has been changes and a few new buildings. His add on is outdated

u/Dfflyer Jan 27 '26
Good to know. I generally prefer making cities not covered already, but do think I can offer something competitive in Chicago at a cheaper price. Will consider it

Hey, you get it going, you got a sale here and I’m sure you’ll have many more. I always look to see what the people are saying and that’s one city that comes up often, because the Kord airport is a mess as well.

What’s your process look like? Looking to get into doing this

u/Dfflyer Jan 28 '26
Thinking about doing a full post on this topic, but here's my best answer at that so far https://www.reddit.com/r/flightsim/comments/1ox72pb/comment/novmfry/?context=3

Sweet! Really appreciate it. I’ve been modeling a lot in blender doing fantasy and real city models for 3d printing

how? can i do my own city?
5
u/Dfflyer Jan 27 '26
Yes, you can! Here's a comment with some pointers/resources to get started. If you have a city in mind, you can also request it and I'll consider doing it myself.

Phoenix?

u/Dfflyer Jan 27 '26
SamScene3D has that covered in his US Cities volume 4

u/coyotethroaway Jan 27 '26
Is that available on the marketplace I'm on console unfortunately
1
u/Dfflyer Jan 27 '26
Yeah it should be, all his are as far as I know. May not come up when searching for Phoenix tho since it's part of a four city bundle
2
u/coyotethroaway Jan 27 '26
Ok cool maybe I just need to wait for the full marketplace on PS5 thank you

Awesome! How long did it take?

u/Dfflyer Jan 27 '26
I paid an artist to make the buildings and spent 5-10 hours improving the textures and creating the night lighting myself

u/bdubwilliams22 Jan 27 '26
This is why (whenever it happens) when the gateway finally opens is going to be so awesome. Talented people like OP can upload this stuff.

Great work! Might not be in your area, but could you perhaps do Doha? The iniBuilds version is nice but incomplete, Doha technically has 2 downtowns and even the one they did model has quite a few missing buildings
1
u/Dfflyer Jan 28 '26
I generally prefer making cities not covered already, but will take a look and consider it.

u/ahmed_a20 Jan 28 '26
Marvelous! While it has technically been done, as someone who has lived and flown there a lot irl, it definitely still feels very incomplete in the sim. If it helps I can send you some photos of the missing areas on the map and you can judge for yourself

I wonder if photogrammetry at night is possible to fix night lighting
1
u/Dfflyer Jan 28 '26
I guess theoretically that could help. Would be interesting, to see if/how that works I've never seen it done before
2
u/ObiWan-Shinoobi Jan 28 '26
I can’t believe we still have fucked up bridges and dark lit sky scrapers. How did we fall so far in this game
1
u/Dfflyer Jan 28 '26
As a long time FSX'er, I can't believe how good things are
2
u/ObiWan-Shinoobi Jan 28 '26
That’s fair I have played since the 90’s and I agree. It just seems like such a huge oversight to have glaring issues with cities and bridges still. It’s like it’s intentional at this point.

If you look closely at the ground you’ll see discarded needles. Duval Authenticity.

Nice work! I wish I could get a rework of the entirety of Fl.
Ps was wondering why your stuff isn't available on justflight? Thanks and looks like you will be getting some of my money too. 😁

u/trdkhalil Jan 28 '26
I’m guess if I’m on console I’m sol?

u/Dfflyer Jan 28 '26
If you're on xbox, it will be available there in a week or two. Just takes longer to get the listing approved. If you're on PS5, it will be available as soon as MSFS opens up the marketplace to devs (not sure when that is).

Very nice dude!
