After the update of SU5 I have these melted look buildings around London City. I’ve tried resetting the cache, disabling the cache, manually creating cache etc all to no avail. Does anyone have workable solution.

Unfortunately the forum won’t let me upload pics here  

thats a sign of slow server download.

venice and amsterdam looking good

That‘s hard to assess without images. You can create a free account on a platform such as imgur, upload your image there and then copy the link in your post here on Avsim.

yes London is melting after the update. Didn't happen before. 

It's been like that since release.  Has nothing to do with the update.  Jorg has already acknowledged that in the last few Q&As.  IRRC, Bing is beefing up their side and ASOBO will take it from there.  That's the short of it.

My experience is opposite.  I had melting buildings in London the update and now they are fine.

London fine to me, but I am an Aussie so flying when the rest of the world should be in bed.

The melted buildings are probably a result of the Bing servers overloading with all the Xbox users logging in trying the game post patch.

 

Guys...everyone say it together with me...ready??

The melted crayons look of the photogrammetry has been there since release.  Jorg has already acknowledged this in the last SEVERAL Q&As.  It's not a server issue (unless it's worse than worse).

Those who say it's fine, or say they don't have melted buildings, don't know what they're talking about or don't know what they're looking at.  Please post your screenies here.  Especially of the London area...lol.

My personal experience is screenie posting is a waste of time and just creates 1000 thread arguments 😄   people see what they want to see.

However I am willing to try - if some one posts a screenshot of a melted area I will see what it looks like on my system and post my version if it turns out to be OK for me.

BTW - if it is not server related how come London for me varies radically from day to day and is at it's worst when 30 or 40 other people are flying in multiplayer with you ?

All my photogrammetry cities were nuked since day 1 of the sim. Nothing I tried fixed it so I have been flying with it off for months.

You'll need to go back and find in the Q&A where Jorg talked about it.  I can't remember which one it was.  Bottom line, it's not where it's supposed to be.  So it may be better on some days, but it's still very bad.  Bad and very bad are not the bar we want or what MS and ASOBO wants.  So if the server is better on one day it just makes it bad versus very bad.  How's that?  

In any case Bing is working on something better for the sim according to MS. Not sure when that happens.

Tokyo is probably the best look photogrammetry in the sim right now

Double check that you have photogrammetry enabled in data options, because I have photogrammetry there.

The gold coast aus looks as melted as ever. It looked good for about the first week when the game was first released August 2020
