Description of the issue:
Vancouver, BC scenery is low detail, blobby, full of distortions and artifacts and there are LUDICROUSLY huge trees larger than skyscrapers all over the city. The Helijet helicopter landing pad is marked as a helipad and is underwater. The [ Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre, Canada’s largest seaplane port by flight volume and one of the most beautiful seaplane aerodromes in the world is still just a few jumbled polygons sunken under water.
Maybe I didn’t get the very best resolution data from less than ideal internet connection, but I flew around a while and it didn’t get better. Whereas in say, Manhatten, NY, buildings got pretty crisp and much nicer in a few minutes of flying around.
This is SO disappointing and inexcusable. Vancouver in many ways GOT WORSE with WU XI Canada, the fixes/improvements in WU XV did little to correct the mess that WU XI Canada was for Vancouver, and I swear what I’m seeing in MSFS 2024 is worse than EVER, especially the BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE mountain sized trees.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you? (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)
Everytime I’ve flown around downtown Vancouver, BC. Admittedly, that’s just been a few times since MSFS2024 became available.

MEDIA
If Asobo can’t be bothered to even look and remove 1000ft tall trees littering Vancouver, I can’t waste my time waiting two hours to get into the sim to make a screen shot of this disaster. I’ve given up all hope Asobo will ever care AT ALL about making the Vancouver, BC area, one of Canada’s most beautiful cities, AN ABSOLUTE GEM of Canadian aviation and seaplane aviation in particular be anything but an absolute disaster.
