Well, this is not my picture, but someone on reddit posted a screencap of the new Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 flying over DTK.
Very cool! Surprisingly accurate and an amazing obvious in hindsight idea for a video game.
That being said, the data, while impressive, seems to have considerably more errors than Google Maps 3D data. I'm guessing that neither Google nor MS have bothered with human interventions for a city like KW, so we can see the relative effectiveness of each of their algorithms.
(Also, I'd love for this type of data to be available for more video games).
