PG always does that with water features, kind of hard to avoid. That's why there are so many water/marina and vege fixes for PG areas on flightsim.to

I switched PG off to test in Sydney and the water mask problem was still horrible around marinas and many cases the general shoreline.  Water textures just do not exist aroudn these objects.  Boats and pontoons sit on a 'beach' like the infamous bridges in London after an update.

    Most people don't care. It's been an issue since launch, and yet all these updates are still received warmly.

  • Are you just trying to derail this thread by bringing up a completely irrelevant issue?   What on Earth has that got to do with this thread, and this release?  Is that how you entertain yourself?

I think we posted simultaneously but in my previous post upthread I showed what I am seeing in Sydney in 20 on not very high settings. So I am curious what exactly you are seeing.

I cant post screenshots here as the normal image host is banned in the UK.   I cannot see images shared by others.

I am seeing whats shown in the timestamp below (main part also 263 seconds) in so many areas.  dry land around marinas and other water features, shorelines etc

I heard from other UK users that Postimages works fine...try these

sy0 — Postimages

sy1 — Postimages

sy2 — Postimages

sy3 — Postimages

Might be interesting. I'm guessing that you have to fly upside-down?

Are you sure you have it installed correctly? Can you show us what you are seeing?

This is from my MSFS20, and personally it's quite impressive: the marinas look quite mostly OK, and coastline is also crystal clear. Very few melted buildings or blobs. This is on only TLOD 070. Some settings are ultra but trees and water fx and what-not are only medium.

Yep, that's what I'm seeing.  The scenery goes way out to past Prospect reservoir in the west, although by the time you get to Penrith it's back to autogen.  Two other cities I know well, Wagga Wagga and Albury, are very well handled.  With the latter it also includes the sister city of Wodonga over the Victorian border, and going west from there covers most of the way to the Rutherglen turnoff.

Very impressed so far.  But they still have to do something about the trees.

The PG trees have always been junk and always will be lol

Oh great. Can't wait to make a few flights from Australia to nearby islands and their famous ski stations, like Milford Sound for example...

Milford Sound is in NZ, not Australia...and we aren't a nearby Island ...Milford Sound ...ski station? Nope. Although MSFS depicts snow there most of the year around which in real life dosent happen ...would like to see this fixed sometime. It's in NZ, not Australia...and we aren't a nearby Island ...

Milford Sound is in New Zealand. Sorry just saw this and couldn't resist.

Guys, seriously, I thought it was obvious but apparently not...

PS: apparently the forum refuses me the possibility to post a picture... interesting...

Ok I give up trying to post a picture to illustrate, and will just explain here, because it seems people here is unable to understand jokes or sarcasm... 🙄I know very well that Milford Sound is in NZ and that NZ is not Australia, thanks. My post was a way to criticize Asobo that keeps trying to make that area of the globe better while ignoring the fact that the real weather still won't allow us to land in Milford Sound because it's always covered in snow, since several years. And like it or not, New Zealand IS a (big) island near Australia, near enough to make a 2 hours flight to it. Yes it's not as near as Tasmania, sure, but it's still "nearby".
