Well, I’m using the older v8.2.11 in SU15 (either with standard or high res textures) and the Bing New Maps ate not working right (or, as you say, not loading up tiles in the proper way) in regions like the Caribbean and northern South America.

Had to revert to Google Maps or to stop using the Map Enhancement Mod at all in the areas I fly often, as the ones mentioned before).

Could you please share on which areas have you tested v8.2.11 and SU15, and the Bing new maps are working right in your setup?.

Thanks in advance!

I have updated my bug report with additional screenshots with corresponding lat/long and screenshots.

 

I have tested this all in SU15 and SU16 beta and it is worldwide .  

8.2.11 and SU15 works fine in all areas.

    I do not care about any performance improvements where texture resolution is concerned. I would rather keep higher resolution textures.

    Yes, but what does this mean? Are the current streamed Bing maps textures standard? If they are, then I have nothing to worry about. If they are currently high resolution (and I can expect a reduction

  • They degraded the graphics so the game worked on the Xbox, see SU5 when it all went backwards.

Thats what happens when people want amazing graphics and then when asobo released msfs 2020 the first year.

 

It practically looked like msfs 2024

Then people complained about performance.

So they has to degrade the graphics.

 

Same.will happen with 2024

 

It's our fault, once again 🤣

It's my understanding that the maps are moving from Bing to Azure maps.

Just for anybody using the Map Enhancement mod , the developer just pushed and update that fixed the Bing new  map draw distance issue

 

Just tested it out and working fine on my end. 🙂

I was considering upgrading my computer for MS2024. Now I don't see the point if the graphics have been dumbed down to the extent my 9700k CPU and RTX 2080ti can still handle them; Disappointed in what they have succeeded in doing to MSFS in both sims. But may should be grateful that they screwed Nvidia and Intel out of several thousand euros!!
