Anyone else having issues with CYCG Castlegar, CYDA Dawson City, CYDF Deer Lake, CYFB – Iqaluit International and CYBD Bella Coola?

Looks like I'll have to try a re-install of the Canada update...

Reinstalled the Canada update and still have the same issue. Even just spawning at any of the newly improved airports (runway or parking spot) causes an instant CTD as soon as I hit "Fly" - not even a memory pop-up like I get when about to touch down. So I'll have to uninstall all 4 airports. At least I have the Orbx CYBD to fall back on.

odd, I've been to all 5 2-3 times for AI testing and flights, no crashes.

No CTD here but all places are still "ugly as sin" if you have the PG on...

.. this wasn't wu11... it was WWII and they destroyed Canada. the (once) peaceful nation!.  lol

 

You can turn the ugly PG piece off>> Get rid of folder>>  fs-base-coverage-map-canada-tin from your official folder.. this piece "calls" the ugly PG... Remove it by force or by uninstalling it only in WU11 update and keep the rest.. 

That will keep you the rest but revert your PG to the pre-wu11 state..!!  (The only choice right now!)

Hate to say it but this wu11 is a disaster in almost every regard.  More like WW!!. Hopefully Asobo will listen to the comments and look at the photos of their work and see the error of their ways and fix this asap as many are uninstalling and reverting back to the pre-wu11 condition.

I haven't seen or  checked out Montreal yet.. It can't be as bad right?

Nevermind.. Some might think we are being overly picky. But. Look at the second screenshot of Los Angeles. PG can be done right. Whoever was in charge of WU Canada just choose not too. As an American. I'm embarrassed for Canadians. They deserved better

The LA CBD looks awesome. Some PG cities are just great. Valencia, Spain is a good example. I don't see any point in having PG if it's trash. 

Has anyone tried looking at Toronto and Vancouver in the windows maps app to see how the 3D buildings in the app compare to in the sim?  Just thinking as the two should be using the same source data, it might shed some light on whether the source data is the issue or if something got messed up in the processing into the sim.

I'll take that CN Tower over whatever it is they call that blob in game

Jorg has said in one of the Q&As that not every provider allows their stuff to be used in both MSFS and Bing. Some only allow it to be used in one or the other.

Or the Bing ones just haven't been updated yet.

The Toronto Photogrammetry in the maps app is older imagery, probably the stuff we had in the sim before, as it's also missing Mississauga which is included in the WU11 imagery.

Even uninstalling the airports didn't help, nor did uninstalling the entire Canada update - I think it had left some files behind. 2 or 3 more install/uninstall cycles later and I at least seem to be back to normal without the update installed. I'll test some more when I have time and maybe try adding back a few bits of the update, with the airports last of all (well, probably before the landing challenges if I bother with them as they might be problematic without the updated airports). It's so odd that everything seemed ok on day 1 (such as I'd looked at) but disastrous on day 2.🙄

Hi again,

I tested again without any add-on content in the community folder. The glitch is there.

The bug is visible from the Bella Coola Airport runway looking to the east. This is not a mesh error in a very remote area, but very close to the airport itself. Bella Coola Airport is new to Asobo for World Update XI. So how come they haven't noticed? They have created the new airport and that's it? Haven't they checked it out? I don't remember there being such an error before.

Regards

 

I have Orbx bella  coola installed and I also have the WU11 canada bella coola installed. I flew all around the airport and saw nothing strange. From the RY looking East everything looks perfect. I even flew all around with drone, everything looked perfect to me. 

Friday 8:30 PM Pacific time

I don't see the artifacts elsewhere some people report after the WU. But I haven't tested all that have been reported.

I use the smaller trees flightsim.to mod, only I modified the mod so to speak to make the trees even shorter than the mod. So Canada and Italy don't look a jungle to me. (The mod changes the height of I think all trees, bushes, grasses). I just reduced the max and min height numbers even more than in the mod file. And then I just drop my modified mod into community. 

The fs.to  mod reduces height 1/3 so they are all  2/3 as tall. I reduce the height about 2/3 give or take, so the heights are about 1/3 of Asobo's height. Now if I drone down my own road where I live the trees branches don't reach out into the street, and don't tower above the roofs like the Asobo version does. Using trees you know from real life makes for a good test.

Did you just change the values in the layout.json? These are the default values:

Quote

{
  "content": [
    {
      "path": "MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe",
      "size": 363520,
      "date": 132506475022898995
    },
    {
      "path": "vegetation/10-asobo_species.xml",
      "size": 16302,
      "date": 132536107977005258
    }
  ]
}

And would this by any chance work with REX Accuseason? That has the option of choosing different tree sizes. 

So what is the best looking area to fly in Canada, either before or after SU 11...

I installed it but haven't had much time to fly lately.

I changed the values in 10-asobo_species.xml with wordpad. File is in the Vegetation folder of the mod
