Cross-posted. And yes, turning both of those off? That would do it!

Grapevine Lake and DFW airport

so Lesson Learned. when you have internet hiccups, it disables Bing and Photometry and when you get the connection restored within a few seconds, it does not rest those settings, You have to do it yourself!

Dang.. Lots to learn in this Sim

I live in the DFW area and so I had mmy P3D setup for this area real good. I had the FSDT DFW and not sure who made the Houston GW airport..it was darn good and I had high resolution Photo scenery from Mega Scenery and got some autogen Trees and builds from someone I forget now. I also had Austin and San Antonio airports

Now I flew from Houston to KDFW and I get this

Really? is Bing so bad for this area?

and then when I got close to DFW, I get a CTD. I couldn't even fly a short route from Houston to Dallas. WTH!

I am mad now.

It seems you lost the connection to the Bing data. Check if it's set to OFF by accident in your SETTINGS-DATA. It happened to me before.

Bing maps have color problems in different area's (Google maps have then too but less). This is a satelite view of the area just west of the Fort Worth Alliance airport.

You'll find in sim however the tiling from imagery is less pronounced because of the way the AI processes it. As a result, I have noticed some tiling but I typically need to look a little harder. I think as they improve the AI and just get newer imagery in general tiling will become even less pronounced.
