What could cause these displaced forrests and trees?

Hello all, maybe someone has an idea.

When i fly in the area of LILN (northern italy, close to Switzerlands Lugano Airport), i see a lot of these round forrests, placed randomly over the area.

In Towns, on fields, on roads, while the real forrest areas are simply plain.

MSFS fully updated with all WU and SU. Most settings on high. No mods or airport addons in this area. Never seen this in other areas of the world.

I use Rex Accuseason (daily updates).

What could be the reason? Always thought the Blackshark AI places the forrest according the BING satellite pictures. Here it clearly does not. When i fly 30 nm in any direction, it normalizes. Also in the area of Lugano (LSZA), its visible.

Another example:

Blackshark AI does a pretty good job overall for an automated system, but it is far from perfect. I've seen patches of trees in farm fields etc. in many areas and there are certainly misplaced patches of trees in the areas around where I live and am very familiar with. I even sent bug reports about them all the way back in 2020 when the sim was still in alpha and beta, but nothing was ever improved, even in the applicable World Updates, even though their support implied that they would be improved then. The only solution I know is to use developer tools and create exclusions for areas where you no they should not be and add forests where you know they have missed them. Personally I don't bother, however there are some freeware tree fixes for various areas available on flightsim.to. Other than that, I think the only hope is that MSFS 2024 has more precise data than the current version.

Hi Martin, thanks for your comment.

Do you see the same effect when you fly around LILN or LSZA? Could you try?

Mate I had this at ESSA foe the first time last night (I fly in and out of their daily). 

How long has this been happening for you?

I reckon it was/is due to the server issue currently happening. I got this once before at FlyTampas YSSY and it was due to a lack of BING scenery being able to be downloaded.

Since 2 days.

Looks totally different here, LOL 🙂

Have you installed Italy World Update?

 

[Paladin2005 407]

Yes i have. Interesting. Cant really understand this different behaviour.

Solved. Problem was the rolling cache. I deleted it, switched it off, now everything seems to be normal again.
