From km 33.3 to km 39.9 the Berlin course turns hard exactly once. Then it takes six right angles in 1.35 km, between km 39.89 and km 41.25: six decelerate-and-reaccelerate cycles on legs that have gone forward for two hours.

Zero-2-0 waives attribution as a legal condition; we credit Geoportal Berlin anyway.The source CityGML carries no ParameterizedTexture at all - the buildings are untextured by design, which is why facades are procedural and the orthophoto is projected top-down only. Six 1 km tiles cover the Phase 1 scene block.

Berlin true orthophoto 20 cm (truedop_2023)Geoportal Berlin · CityImagery20cm/pxDatenlizenz Deutschland - Zero - Version 2.0 (dl-de/zero-2-0)
Attribution is not a legal condition; we credit Geoportal Berlin anyway.This is the ground texture for every low pass: a true orthophoto, so building lean is already removed. It is projected top-down onto ground and roofs only; nadir imagery holds no facade data. The vintage is part of the layer rather than a detail of it. Berlin serves each flight as its own WMS layer, 2023 is the one every frame is drawn from, and it was chosen for the season: it is the only leaf-on flight, and the sun in the renders is solved against the light already baked into it. A later vintage is a different photograph of a different summer, so the credit names the year.
