I normall flew around Colorado near Tellerude, Northern California, New York/Washington DC, Philadelphia area. And then all over the UK and France. All are scenic. My current favorite is the WU 6  area at Southeastern Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. It looks like God's country to me!

Thanks for the tip. I'll check those out someday along with a possible trip: seeing what MSFS has really done by going around the world.

I found one possible itinerary sometime ago. I'm not sure where I sourced this from but I need to find the right MSFS GA plane first for the Aug 7 leg of the itinerary:

June 18 -- Genoa To Athens, Greece (Lgav)
June 13 -- Shannon To Genoa, Italy (Limj)
June 23 -- Athens To Luxor, Egypt (Helx) 
June 27 -- Luxor To Bahrain (Obbi) 
June 30 -- Bahrain To Muscat, Oman (Ooms)
July 03 -- Muscat To Colombo, Sri Lanka (Vcbi)
July 06 -- Colombo To Bangkok, Thailand (Vtbd)
July 20 -- Palau To Agana, Guam (Pgum)

Is it still there if you turn photogrammetry off?

Would you know if this happens in other airports too or if this isolated only to this runway and in this airport. Any idea what could be causing it?

There are definitely problems with some airports.  I've been thrown into the air at KMDW (and hit a giant pothole on a taxiway at the same airport).  I also got thrown off a runway at KTUL the other day with catastrophic results.

Do you have any ORBX products  installed?  I've found that their elevation adjustments sometimes conflict with other scenery.

Would help greatly if you would disclose which runway.

Would help greatly if you read topic titles completely.😉

May have missed it but also not sure he did not also edit the title after my recommendation.  It was still only minutes after he posted the topic and editing the title is readily available.

Maybe someone with scenery skills could make a sign that warns "CAUTION Invisible wall ahead"

He did not. It was there before you answered, I was there. 😉

In my case photogrammetry was On when I hit my invisible wall. I didn't go back and try it again with it off.

yeah i hit that wall right after the threshold on 30 at KOAK.  Discovered it doing little hops between SFO and OAK.  Pretty annoying.  I should not have to turn PG off to use the Airport. I believe this is already reported to Zendesk.
