Yeah, because those meshes are stored locally on your PC, but I'm pretty sure the height data from Asobo is streamed from the cloud.

I could be mistaken. Would have to disable all net connection and compare areas with high resolution DEM.

Ah yes that could well be it, hadn't thought of that!

Yeah like I said earlier, The same thing happened in the first USA update when that big Devil's rock thing had the higher detailed object floating just above it. It was an issue related to first day server quirks that eventually fixed themselves without Asobo needing to do anything if I remember correctly.

 

 

Now I want everyone to notice that no one was attacked or told to shut up for pointing this out. A possible explanation was given. That's it.

It has nothing to do with were the data is stored. It's all about which algorithm is used to blend in various LOD levels of a mesh together. The higher the resolution the later it loads in. If the difference between the next LOD is too high the terrain will morph.

I’ve not been on Avsim for more than a few years, but the criticism “ban” seem to have worsened just in the last few weeks. 

This place is very lenient compared to the official forums full of overzealous moderators and a flawed flagging system.🤣

*sigh

Nobody’s grumpy moaning or reasoned push-back is being banned by other users. What you might be feeling is the discomfort of having your opinions publicly rebuffed, perhaps by a majority. You may not experience this often in your daily life, particularly if you’re a, ahem, white man. Your criticisms have not been banned until they’ve been actioned by a mod.

To be fair, and you can surely agree, the vocal minority of critics who keep bringing up their pet issues over and over again, some who come on to all threads (especially the ones discussing new stuff and those celebrating/excited for new stuff completely irrelevant to their pet issues) and then keep trying hard to shout loud enough to be heard and some who go further with weird conspiracy theories... that *also* seems to have worsened in the last few weeks , which gets pushback understandably, which is then labelled as "criticism bans" by the vocal minority. Given the recent few weeks of great stuff happening like the arrival of high fidelity aircrafts, and the 40th anniv announcements, WU10 etc one might even deduce that's what has triggered those with their pet issues to shout more ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.  Not talking about you here, but it's very clear that some around here with pet issues in MSFS just can't take anything positive being discussed 🙂 ... why not start new threads to discuss the pet issues?, is it because they don't get much attention and the majority are discussing other stuff in the high action threads so that leads these folks to start come dumping on there? one wonders 🙂

As someone who used to live in Calgary and frequent Lake Louise and much of the Canadian Rockies, I always find it funny when I hear West Virginia is known as the "mountain state". It'd be better described as the "Tall Hills State". 🤣

White (particularly older) men tend to occupy senior positions in their families / communities / companies and their opinions tend to carry more weight. So often they’ve never experienced their opinions being criticized en masse and often get very defensive or emotional when it happens, claiming they’re being ‘censored’, ‘banned’, or ‘cancelled’. 

TBH it’s kind of disappointing that this is still a new or contentious idea for some people.

In what continent? Cause I can assure you in the continent of Africa that is not true at all. I would go out on a limb and say South America too. Unless hispanics are now white? Japan? Korea? etc etc etc...

 

The world doesn't revolve around North America and western Europe. My god this place is sinking to new lows. I am signing off for a while. 

‘in their families’ etc…

QED

Well I'm a woman, how does that fit into your borderline racist theory?

Instead of addressing the issues being complained about it's easier to attack the character, isn't it?
