Downtown Buildings look Mushy

Very odd, I don't seem to experience this issue.

It is intermittent for me which is why I suspect server load may be the culprit.

An interesting test would be to clear all caches and see if the same buildings melt when you go back to the same area.

If we turn off PhotGam we just loose the buildings and not the photoreal ground textures right?

It's a problem of when they decide to draw that "mesh". If I download the data then logically it would solved the BING SERVER problem. However, what is happening is that the simulator has no way of distinguishing when to draw that scenery, until you are right on top of it. Which is why most will say, "I don't have the problem" I argue that you probably due, but you either don't see much into the distance because of weather or other factors, or you fly low and slow, to where the area in question will dray progressively. In the A320 NEO, I have yet to see the scenery draw to a realistic resemblance of what it looks like in real life until I am right over it.

Even on the runway at Meigs Field the buildings look brutal, and they are practically right on top of us. I hope in time the issue gets fixed.

My suspicion is the melted buildings are a side effect of overloaded network or overloaded Bing servers.

I agree, because sometimes it looks fine and sometimes not. It either a network issue or an internet issue (low bandwidth) at any point between the user and the server or a combination of things permitting the data to load properly...

Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.

Is this an example of this discussion?  This is my home airport and it has appeared like this 24/7 since the sim was released.
