Just wondering if anyone else notices these two bugs that are driving me nuts pushing me back to 2020. The first are the green fields having a brown mask applied to them extremely close to the aircraft. This makes VFR flying during the day highly unappealing. And second is with almost every 3rd party airport from 2020 listed as 24 compatible I notice the custom ortho clipping in and out when on approach or departing at various distances from the airport. Did a flight from IAH to AUS last night and both are listed as 2024 compatible yet they have this issue. Is this a known issue because I cant find it mentioned anywhere online being such an obvious visual anomaly. Seems like everyone says "my 2020 airports work fine in 24". Running a 9850x3d 64gb of ram and 5090 with all my 3rd party content downloaded local to my SSD or in my community folder. The issues persist no matter how hard I push the TLOD and graphics settings. This stuff wouldn't be a big deal if it didn't happen in such a close proximity to the user

I think the "green fields having a brown mask applied to them when close to the aircraft" issue is actually a case of higher resolution textures being loaded at close range. These textures are loaded in as you move, which is why they seem to "mask" the green textures. For example, the really high resolution Bing photoscenery for some of the UK was taken in a very hot summer, when the ground was brown and scorched. The green fields further out are the slightly lower resolution textures taken at a time when the weather was more normal. I really wish that they would sort that out, as brown and burnt fields everywhere in England is not normal.

Msfs2024 is now full of visual anomalies, but not many people seem to care that much.

That’s part of the seasons tech,

Because they’re extremely minor, and not really annoying.

Well, yesterday, just for the heck of it, I fired up P3D4.5 (I still have it installed, I don't know why) and went for a flight. I lasted 5 minutes before I signed out and went back to 2024. Agreed, there are a lot of visual anomalies in 2024 that should get fixed, but there are a whole lot more in past flight sims, including 2020. Maybe MSFS 2028, or perhaps MSFS 2032, will be better...

These aren't minor. https://youtu.be/yPptmJGEcOM?is=MjmMJ5JtR0aLlr7d I don't know how this is deemed acceptable by anyone.

Full or empty? Dwell on the good things.

That is strange and I would think quite annoying.

I've never seen anything like that. Where was this?

Somewhere in the UK. I do most of my flying in the southern and western US and anywhere there are farm fields and cow pastures its bad

The problem the more say is all ok the more they do not fix;

how about this one

I bug reported on the official site (and others confirmed) something strange terrain wise at when flying at/above and around S43 Harvey airport - weird shadows on the terrain, terrain disappearing, all bad things terrain-wise - never saw anything like it before. Only when Photogrammetry is “ON” - but that sounds like it might be different?

It was sure the case at The Open at Royal Birkdale. Just dry scorched all over. Maybe that is more typical of that area in the UK but it reminded of our courses in Denver CO right now w/ the severe drought we're in.

I don't know what's going on there, but I have never, ever seen that on my MSFS 2024. I fly almost exclusively VFR, <5000'AGL.

As @DD_Arthur also said he's not seen that artifact, I'd propose it could be a localised problem at your end?

Agreed, because of where I do most of my sim flying, I have gone back to 85% MSFS20 usage. Kind of a waste, my only real use for the 24 license is ensuring my sceneries work in that sim...which is a different headache entirely.
