Well that clears up that theory then, thanks for clarifying.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
Yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
When I get close to some Bing maps ground textures, they change into ones that are totally different.
The new appearing tiles/textures seem to be from Bing map imagery that were photographed years apart, and in different seasons.
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
Three screenshots attached, all taken around Innsbruck / LOWI . . .

Seems this is a different bing and season data problem mixed up together since the the last WU and SU update, most is the southern parts but at the end everywhere in the sim. I am sure asobo is aware by this bug but not able to fix it after weeks.
Add to the list: Arequipa region, Peru, and Quetta region, Pakistan. Not exactly the same problem, but mountains far from the aircraft keep popping and forming like crazy. I’m sure it didn’t happen in Peru months ago.
Melting snow when fly over is very disturbing.

Ground tiles changing on Nevis island in the Caribbean. They get obviously greener as I get closer. Location at TKPN

Take off from LFNC in a light aircraft, and as you climb you’ll see texture tiles changing/popping as you climb. Never happened until recently. If this IS Bing map data, then it doesn’t look promising, and would be a major MS issue if their own Bing data has caused major issues for a flagship title…

Anyone else seeing extremely low res/blurry ground textures recently, especially noticeable when flying low?
This is in addition to the changing texture tiles in some areas. Both of these really ruin the experience.

Yes I experience this often all over the globe.

I think Asobo/MS need to come up with some form of statement about this - judging from this and other forums. the problem is growing, or at least more people are seeing it…

It’s definitley worse than before. It’s like they’re downgrading the game after we’ve already paid for it (not the first time either, SU5 anyone?).
MODERATOR EDIT: Please do not ping staff.

Was there an update? Or server issue? What is happening again.
Yes, I’ve documented this here: WU10 + SU12 synergy in terrain abnormalities

It’s not just one location, happening across the globe now in various locations. Textures popping in and updating - usually at low level. My example which seems to be 100% reproduceable is to take off from LFNC in the alps and do a circuit at low level. Texture popping in all over the place.

Yup agreed. And fwiw I’m on a 4090 here with an i9 and 128gb dram.
Easiest repro for me is visual approach to Kai Tak.
I documented an issue that is happening around the Dallas area and WU10 appears to be the culprit if installed along with SU12 or later. I’d suspect this is likely happening around the world where for whatever reason perhaps the new Sim Updates are not playing nice with older World Updates.
Yes I see the blurry ground textures too often recently.
