I posted my frustrations with my first few experiences of MSFS a few days ago and was jumped on by a lot of people on this forum for being naive and not giving the sim the time or effort it deserves. So, I took all your comments on board, I've spent time watching lots of videos, planning my flights and decided today to do a proper EGLL to LGAV flight in the Fenix A320 (with inibuilds EGLL, FlyTampa LGAV, GSX and FSLTL). 

A great departure from Heathrow, flight down across Europe but then I got this on arrival in Athens https://imgur.com/cp9fHM2 No airport. Exactly the same thing that happened on my arrival into Prague a week ago.

This is clearly the sim objects problem that has been discussed previously. I'm sorry, but if MSFS can not handle GSX, FSLTL (with AI at 30%) and a few add on airports then it is, without question, miles behind P3D. I'm so disappointed as the sim looks great but this is such a basic error. In P3D I could run all my addons, GSX, AIG at 100%. Is there anything I can do to sort this...I assume removing things (like GSX, AI etc) will help it...but a sim that describes itself as the 'next generation' should be better than this.

As long as I have been flightsimming, it has been possible to overwhelm the sim by adding complex addons.. this is not new.

You will have to discover what does and does not work for you and choose your settings and addons accordingly.  😉

I have never seen an airport "disappear" in MSFS, but admittedly have neither GSX, nor FSTL enabled.

Is that your post? If so, are you using DX12?

You replied with a link that lead to a post that mentions vanishing airport ground textures which is a known issue with DX12 beta.

Yes, I know but I was asking you if it was your post that you linked and if it was then were you using DX12? Because the reason for the vanishing ground textures as far as I know and in my experience has nothing to do with a sim objects issue but rather more to do with one of a beta implementation of DX12.

I am simply trying to clarify and separate the issues for my own clarification.

Thank you, I had not seen that the ground textures also vanish when one may reach mentioned limit.

I have not encountered this vanishing airport thing that you have. I have seen the vanishing airport ground texture thing but as a result of the DX 12 issue, though.

I o ly run dx11 - never run dx12- and have this issue

I've got all that going and then some with no issue whatsoever.

MSFS handles all of that with plenty of room for more.

You need to check your system, settings and get to the bottom of it and stop posting this stuff.  You're way off the mark.

Well, I'm sorry to say Jase, I'm not way off the mark. I have read countless tutorials, watched a number of videos and this issue continues to happen - an issue, that other people have also reported.

I really wish I could check my system, settings and get to the bottom of it because then I wouldn't need to post about it. I'm posting in the hope someone can help. I have become very frustrated with MSFS; last night a three hour LHR to ATH flight ends with me landing at an airport that is quite simply, not there.

You might be annoyed at him but he's not wrong about this being an issue. See this post from Kai at AIG: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/gsx-pro-and-aig/545885

You never explained why you posted the same complaint about MSFS two years ago about trying MSFS for the first time and not liking it, and then  posted the same complaint again about a week ago. ?? You got called out on that thread, which was eventually locked, and now you are going to start the same thing again....
