Is your Phoenix Arizona messed up?

Featured Replies

I have been flying in and out of PHX lately and I have noticed that my downtown Phoenix is all messed up. It seemed to be working fine the last time I flew there a few months ago and I have not changed anything. The downtown core and possibly some other buildings are all messed up and show as generic buildings. I have the Samscene Modern Cities Vol 4 which contains Phoenix and the Glideslope Pro PHX installed. Uninstalling and reinstalling these products and a combination of removing one but not the other has failed to yield any desirable results. Its almost as if one of the Sim Updates killed the Phoenix area and as of right now you can't fix it or one of the scenery packages needs updating.

Everywhere else I fly into looks fine so far but PHX area seems broken.

Can you post a screenshot so we can compare? I also have the same packages installed.

Also use your reorder tool and make sure your Samscene scenery is is at a higher priority than default moving to the far bottom of the list.

It's a logged bug in 2024. Nothing to do with the addons... https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/phoenix-sw-usa-photogrammetry-missing/761198

Sorry for the somewhat late reply. I got a surprise 11 hour shift today but now looking into this further. Below is a picture of the problem...

Most of the buildings are generic but a few a are looking okay. These might actually be the Samscene scenery coming through after all but major landmarks like the Chase Stadium and some others are just generic. I posted a picture below....

At work during a few minutes of downtime I searched Google and it definitely looks like a bug. Unfortunately Asobo is taking it's sweet time fixing it which is unfortunate. I am pretty sure it was working fine a couple of months ago if not soon than that. I don't think Samscene can fix it unless they decide to do the whole city. Hopefully it gets fixed soon!

Yeah Asobo's photogrammetry for the city is also completely missing, so it's not just effecting third party addons.

Yeah it's most noticeable when you take off from PHX heading West and you see a mostly generic city on climb out. However I am pretty sure the whole Phoenix area is messed up to some degree.

Apparently it might come down to a simple missing file on Asobo's side and likely an easy fix. Something about a missing TIN file or something along those lines. For some reason Asobo can't be bothered to fix it and the latest SU6 beta has the same issue.

The PG data is completely gone, from what you're showing. Only MS OSM autogen.

Everything looking A-OK in FS2020 here, just now
