Appaertly the issue with bumpy taxiways in Atlanta is a user configuration or mod conflict problem from what I'm being told on the Discord. I mentioned that my ADI is all over the place, banking left and right while taxing, only to be told, why are you looking at the panel while taxiing? Don't go to the Orbx Discord for answer. It wasn't the Dev but one of the protectors, 😂. A new update will be dropping soon which should address a lot of the issues.

You're probably better off getting help on the Orbx Discord or the Orbx forums. There are discussion on this very issue. Just be careful how you ask a question on Discord or the fan base will come after you. 😂 In all seriousness, you should find what you need there.

I noticed that, the same crew. There doing a lot of beta testing like installing and uninstalling WU10, turning photogrammetry on or off, requesting a photogrammetry disable update, etc. There is even talk that users that have Realistic Taxiway Signs Pro might be causing the sign issues. There a lot users who don't use that sign program that are seeing the floating signs and lights. On a more positive note, theres is a new performance update 3 that's about to be released. I guess the beta testing continues as he works out the bugs. 😒 I look forward to the elevation fixes when they come.

I had 1.0.2 show under my account last night.

Yes I do. I have a rather large collection. I don't have issues with there sceneries because my system can handle them. As far as iniBuilds, I don't own one that has caused as much issues as Atlanta. With ini it's usually a performance issue. Now there aircraft are a different story, wait and see approach.

Atlanta is my home airport when I was growing up and I have used the devs previous scenery, so I was excited to finally have an updated version of KATL in MSFS2024. Should I have waited? Maybe so but it's my home airport and I was unhappy with the Asobo/ImagineSim versions being outdated. I learned my lesson now when it comes to Orbx published sceneries. I will put them in the Aerosoft category of "wait and see" when it comes to any Orbx backed development.

I think you are correct. I'm seeing the same answer on other media sites with the same conclusion. I'm guessing they didn't want to announce another delay and decided to release as-is. I can't remember another scenery release that has these many problems on release.

Seeing you quoted me, where does it say I’m HAPPY with it? I’m clearly pointing out issues in the scenery that I hope get fixed. I’ve already purchased the scenery before all of the issues were know as hundreds of other users did. The developer has made other scenery that are outstanding so we purchased based off of past experience with his products. How are we supposed to know this would be happening? Now that we own it, we would like to have it fixed. Would it make you happy if we just ask for a refund? It’s a little too late for that and not worth the time. Besides there are a lot of things that I do like about the Atlanta airport that stops me from going back to the other versions. I agree, I did not sign up to be a beta tester but were past that point. I’m sure you always wait for product reviews before you purchase anything. We can’t all be perfect like you. As for my last comment, I’m using the south end of the airport because it works. This is due to less terrain elevation. I did not say I was HAPPY to use the south side. I swear, stop putting words into other peoples post.

Matteo, I’ve been running 150 TLOD for almost a year now. I even tested with 200, 250 and above and regardless of how high I set the TLOD above 150, the north side taxiways are just too bumpy. I use the term “mess” as short abbreviation for messed up, not to trash the scenery. Maybe it’s a language difference. When I taxi down F or E taxiways around Ramp 3 towards runway 26L I can watch my ADI rock back and forth. To verifying it wasn’t just me, I streamed the event to a group of other users who own Atlanta and they concur, they’re all seeing the same thing. I even viewed around the airport so we could all check the other areas of terrain around TechOps. Again, we were all seeing the same thing. I can assure you I have my other scenery turned off and disabled. I’ve been using FlightSim since FS1 and I’ve become pretty good at ensuring my scenery is turned off/on, layered, etc and my sims is running at peak performance. I have my system set for 100FPS in 4K and that’s what I maintain while I’m at Atlanta. For me it’s not about the performance or VRAM, I can easily handle that, it’s about the terrain on the on the E/F taxiways.

For now I am limiting my take offs and landings to the south side of the airport and using the 9L/27R, 9R/27L and L & M taxiways. I'm sorry but the Northside E & F taxiways are a mess. I sure hope it's addressed in the future as the scenery looks really good.

We have the first update for KATL, which reduces VRAM usage and adds additional configuration options. We are currently investigating the draw calls to further increase performance, as well as other items. KATL Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is now updated to v1.0.1 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! Changelog: • Improved VRAM • Reduced package size without affecting quality (10GB to 7GB) • Added 1 more option to the control panel (Animated GSE) • Improved ground definition near Signature and Terminal T (South Area)

I've been enjoying the new Atlanta but I hope a few things get addressed. I have asked the questions on Discord but others come back quickly as it's an Asobo issue. I get that Asobo is part of the problem but I believe other devs have worked around some of these issues. 1. Performance - Currently being addressed. 2. Ground Traffic - It would be nice to be able to turn off the moving ground traffic. 3. VRAM Usage - Hopefully they can reduce some of the textures. Not an issue on my end as I have 24gb VRAM. Pushing 21 GB at times. 4. Taxiways - We all agree, the taxiways are pretty rough. I'm waiting for a bank angle warning on some of the taxiways, hahaha. Seriously, I know they say it's an Asobo issue but they also mentioned that it could possibly be addressed. The dev mentioned the following on Discord, "temporary solution would be to add an invisible surface where the aircraft will go above and you do not feel the bumps. Is not an easy task, you have to add this surface by attempts since you cant import msfs terrain inside 3d model program". It seems like this is what MKStudios did at KFLL for all the slopes and elevations, especially around runway 10R/28L and Xcoder KDEN has working elevations. 5. Gate Signs - They are missing on all the gates. The Dev said, "For the jetways, i will investigate if is possible to add number on top of them. It could be complicated because you would need to have unique jetway for each gate and it might be impossible since there are too many gates. I agree that would be a cool detail to have. If possible will be added in a future update". I get that Atlanta has the most gates in the world with 193+ but we have the numbers signs at KDFW w/168, KORD w/190+, KDEN w/169. It seems simple to point to Asobo for everything related to Atlanta. Again, not arguing. I just see them at other airports in the sim. Atlanta is my home town airport when I was growing up and I want it to be the best it can be. I have high hopes for it and wish them the best and hope some of thse items can be addresed in a future update.

Good video showing the differences. I would have like to seen ImagineSim Atlanta v2 added to the comparison.

Same here.
