Oh, and then now reboot the computer (windows). Now you will or will not see a bottom line or two that do not have a #. But it will now be correct. If you have a VPN then you will now see lines at the bottom without beginning with a #. Otherwise, there is likely no lines without a # at the beginning. But it should now be a correct hosts file.

(the hosts file will change yet again after you use the map enhancement mod).

So what was your solution?

 

Managed to turn off Macfee in order to install. Now as long as I turn off the scan before starting the app I am good. Can even turn it back on right after.

Can't you exclude the app in your AV?

What does PG off fix when seeing wrong seasonal Bing tiles when using the mods Latest Bing setting ?

With the default Bing map tiles there is no issue in that region.

Quote :

Photogrammetry as it applies to MSFS is the use of photos to generate 3D models. 

PG is one of the main features from MSFS. But everyone can choose to have them On or Off.

 

"What does PG off fix when seeing wrong seasonal Bing tiles when using the mods Latest Bing setting ?"

 

That...

 

Also make sure not to run the app as administrator per the dev instructions.

sp

For anyone seeing tile popping or whited out scenery (like the moutains below) I had the issue and solved it using the app's lowest icon on the left bar:

clear all data

clear all photogammetry

Choose cache file, cache file path=

C:\Program Files\MSFS2020 Map Enhancement\cache.db

cache file size = 5 GB

Hgh LOD Enabled (checked ON)

Load HIgh LOD images only when flying (unchecked =OFF)

Here's the mess before I did that (white mountains no texture). Problem went away doing the above.

Thanks for the screenshots. So if PG is Off the Tiles will look good… Will try that.

I always thought that with PG Off you would loose realistic MSFS 3D  models around airports and cities, being replaced by general ones…

How that might affect Photo Tiles I do not understand.

Photogrammetry is a very detailed mesh. The "realistic 3D models" are, in fact, complex terrain. As such, whatever overall colour tone is used to create a PG city will appear on the PG photo tile as well.

Unless an Asobo dev is specifically tasked with matching the PG colour tone to the surrounding Bing maps imagery, there will always be a tone discrepancy.

Precisely, see my post on this thread as a perfect example of that discrepancy. I like to fly with PG On but that is a major drawback.

That I understand.

However, when doing the same flight with the default Bing that area looks the same as elsewhere… So good.

It is with the Latest Bing that I see this.

Thanks for the tips I'll give them a try later, I've noticed using "Latest Bing" in VR that there's stuttering going on when it's loading the terrain tiles at times. Even in vastly remote areas where the FPS is very good I get these pauses from time to time, tweaking the settings to your suggested ones may be helpful 🤞🏼

Unfortunately setting Photogrammetry to Off does not solve the issue in the Rome area.

The default Bing map from MSFS looks good as also the free Google map.

Latest Bing has these issues.

Latest Bing + High LOD +  PG Off :

Hey guys, can someone please help... I installed this app, but was frustrated as a google copyright logo was displayed on each of the scenery tiles! I'ts more than likely 'finger trouble' at my end, but why should this have happened?
