August 1, 20214 yr I have up to now been happy with most aspects of the MSFS upgrades both the sim and world updates. With SU5 I however have started experiencing more frequent and unexpected CTDs. I have also noticed some visual degradation but could not put my finger on it or what was different for me. My FPS was however up by some 10% so I was happy with the smooth flying experience. This morning I fired up MSFS after installing the hotfix. I recently bought a new house that we will be moving into in Cape Town and I wanted to take a few screenshots of the area and the house to share with my family. Just like when MSFS just came out and the first thing we all did was to fly over our houses. They never looked exactly like the true version but we could all recognise our house and its basic shape thanks to Blackshark.AI and their machine learning algorithms. To my surprise and despite mostly high-end settings in the options with Bing Maps and Photogrammetry turned on, the house I bought was just one big block with no recognizable features just like the autogenerated scenery in FSX days. I check all my settings as well as my Wi-Fi strength just to make sure and also turned all settings to ultra but it made no difference. In front of the house their is a small community shopping centre and this also did not even closely resembled the actual building. I then flew over the property I'm currently renting and whereas I could previously make out all the townhouses in the complex with their distinct green roofs this time around it was just a few green coloured blocks with no distinguishing features. I again tested my Wi-Fi download speed a few times and it was running as expected. Is anybody experiencing similar issues and could it be related to the visual degrading experienced in MSFS after SU5? Or is something else wrong that I might be missing?
