This was very apparent in the tech alpha but also seen in the last Dev Q&A episode where a more recent build was probably in use.

Where? What was being misinterpreted?

Well the tech alpha was a disappointment for me not in the sense of the content itself but the actual delivery. MS Servers were not up to the task for me so it was pretty frustrating. Hopefully this is addressed. Sat there numerous times waiting from 5 to 15 mins for either the sim to load or the flight to load whenever the server decided to send me whatever trickle of data it felt like. 

Never experienced anything like that before. Everything else internet/network wise has been blazing fast.

Will fall back to 2020 for a bit if i still have these issues when 2024 gets released.

All over the place. The only real buildings in my country were the airport terminals. The AI interpreted every other building as topography. So there were coloured mounds where houses and other buildings should have been. It also interpreted some trees as mounds. If you look at the last dev Q&A with iniBuilds, you can see it happening while they're taxiing the A400.

Isn’t that photogrammetry?

Nope. Where I live is not covered by it and it does not look like what happens when PG messes trees up and it was not melted buildings either. My regional airport ended up looking better in 2020 as a result. Trust me, it's the AI trying to make sense of what it was seeing. I only hope that perhaps the AI was trained better since then but do not be surprised if you see weird things when the sim launches.

the only mounds I'm seeing in the footage are what I assume are supposed to be hangars behind the A400M. Which yes are not in 2020, maybe the photogrammetry exclusion broke. That city got Photogrammetry in World Update 8, including the airport.

you mean here?

 

In the movie business when the studios would not show a film early for reviewers it usually meant something was seriously wrong with it.  I hope this will not be the case for FS2024!

Yes. I just looked at the bing maps app and that area has photogrammetry for those Hangars. it's not that melted, but it's there.

The airport also has photogrammetry in 2020, I just looked you can see some photogrammetry buildings behind the passenger terminal, and some ditches near where A400M is parked.

It's just not on the apron itself, which is why I think the exclusion either broke or is missing for some reason.

Photogrammetry buildings at an airport?? Bad idea.

It's probably a bug.

I certainly hope so!!

I do not think that bug is related to PG. If you look closely, you can even see taxiways going up the mound created. The topography has been affected. This is not what you usually see when PG messes up.

You can see that in the Bing imagery as well. We'll have to agree to disagree if it is photogrammetry or not. Either way we both agree it needs to be fixed.

Ah, the FUD.

This isn't the movie business. In the gaming business, when a game is heavily dependent on online services, people don't get early review copies because the services don't get turned on just for them, and reviewing with the services not under load would be misleading anyway. This is the norm.
