Weird Textures on Buildings

Featured Replies

Hi,

I've updates the sim to WU6 and now i hve awful textures on some buildings.

In the habour of  New York and Hamburg are some streets and textures (ships) under water.

on the screen you see EDDF and LOWW buildings next to the airport. i think there are texture missing or it seems the donwloading bug from MSFS.

i followed the Microsoft Forum Support Zendesk for loading issues and the update process, all negativ.

Is there a chance to delete the WU6 and after that  to load the WU6 again?

I saw sort like textures. If I fly closer they seam to load properly (real close)

In the second screenshot it looks like the photogrammetry boundary goes right through the building. Nothing you can do about it if that‘s the case.

@Shack I saw div vids and the Airportcenter Looks perfekt.

The textures doesn‘t load, if  youre flying next to the object. As i wrote, in hamburg ships are sunken, coastlines in citys are under water, housetextures are also weird, so i think its a generally problem. I looked div. vids, they all  looked fine.

is there a way to reload WU6?

@Prisco you're right. Something's wrong. Here's what it looks like in my sim:

Not only the railway station's weird, also the terminal buildings in your screenshot are generic buildings. Do you have the premium deluxe version? If you don't, that could be the reason because in that case you don‘t have the „bespoke“ version of EDDF.  I'm pretty sure that the railway station in your screenshot is photogrammetry and not hand-modelled like in mine. If you do have the premium deluxe version, you might need to update it in the content manager.

Did you download all the free content from the marketplace after WU6? Did you update all updatable content in the content manager? Looks like missing assets..

i own the standard version.

Yes i dowloaded all updates from the contentmanager and from marketplace. No more updates available😕

@Prisco To me your other screenshots look „okay“. Photogrammetry looks rather awful up close (and from too far away), especially structures such as cranes or bridges. The technology just isn‘t there yet.

There are a lot of mods for things like bridges that address this.  A lot are free, some modestly priced.  There is a mod in Simmarket for all NYC bridges that really makes a difference.

As for Hamburg too, I saw a post a few weeks ago about a full on 3D version of their harbor that is due to be releases sometime in the near future.  Looked amazing.

PG does well for filling out a city with decent enough representations of every building in a city.  It doesnt handle things like bridges well, and starts to fall apart when you get too close.  If you really want the best possible experience today, I would suggest looking for addons that augment the base scenery, like Orbx's and Samscene's city mods - replaces many signature and landmark buildings with full 3d ones that hold up when you fly close in a helicopter.  Also, scour flightsim.to.  You can search specifically for bridges and "landmarks".  Lots of great free stuff that is happily working in in SU5/WU6.

Its a huge world out there.  No matter how many people Asobo throw at it, they will never get it all correct.  This is a team effort 😉. With a small additional investment on your part in time (and money if you so choose), you can really blow your own socks off in the feeling of "being there" in our virtual world.

Could this not be a simple streaming issue? What happens if you turn photogrammetry off in the sim? Or try connecting to a different server. How fast is your internet connection? 
 

Also, standard advice,  clear Community folder of all mods and liveries and test again. There might be a non compatible mod.

@VFXSimmer thank you for your advice. I know flightsim.to and had donwloaded several sceneries from NZ.

@Raptyone i turned photogrammetry off and the buildings appear as an default texture, so its okay. But with photogrammetry on, the issues continued. ive tried to change the server but the button is not functable.

i tried also to clear the communty folder, no success.

Now i reinstall the sim, maybe there are some failures on updating the sim WU6.

Thank you all for advices and help

Joachim

 Just to repeat a Q&A I had with official support staff at flightsimulator.com and that I posted in another MSFS topic here.  There are no interdependencies between the World Updates.  So there are no assets used in one World Update that are needed in another.  They are each independent.  If any assets were missing they would be missing from the core simulator installation.
