Black lines in the water

I’ve had it since the start of MSFS 2020 and it’s still prevalent everywhere there is water, and photogrammetry. I agree about 2024, it’s there too. the lines and the missing bridges or underwater bridges just kill my flight immersion. Could do with less aircraft and more scenery fixes. It really is a shame.

I’m on the SU3 Beta too and getting these lines. I really hope they sort them out as it’s killing the experience for me. I don’t know if I should revert back to non beta (didn’t notice them then).

Just a quick edit/update, it seems the latest non beta version of the game also exhibits this issue. It seems this has been here since the days of MSFS 2020. I hope the devs can finally solve this somehow in the future. Even turning off photogrammetry or whatever it’s called doesn’t get rid of them.

2 years after your post I see this thread so I voted. The thousands of fixes they did for FS2024 definitely don’t include the ones we encounter on a daily basis :joy:

Confirmed lines are visible and run in the east-west direction (270/90). Spotted in many places around the world. I only noticed it in SU3 Beta.

I am seeing these everywhere in the ocean in 2024 SU_03 Beta, all the time, even through clouds when flying above an overcast layer.

Sometimes they are black, other times shimmering, depending on the lighting, but always present.

I also notice these lines more in SU3 beta, they should fix this, it’s immersion breaking.

Was trying out the SU3 beta and noticed these grid like renderings. Really takes away from the realism.

Zoom in on the image provided if you cant see what im talking about.

Yes, since earlier beta versions.

I feel like we should keep this as the main thread for this bug. That last post on this issue was made back in 2021. Most of the users experiencing the issue at this point in time seem to be on the SU3 beta. Would rather it remain here under the beta section of the fourm, otherwise it may be overlooked by the devs.

Hi @FloridaWingsGS
Since it is already bug-logged, the issue is already in the internal bug-tracking system. As per the pinned topic in the Sim Update 3 Beta | MSFS 2024 > Scenery & Airports category:

So folks should continue to contribute & vote in this topic. Creating duplicate topics does not improve the likelihood of an issue being addressed - to the contrary, it decreases the likelihood as it splits votes.

These lines appear a lot on the Delaware river from about Philadelphia to Easton, PA.

I’m seeing these black lines in water everywhere I fly also. Definitely breaks immersion hopefully it can be fixed because it stands out like crazy.
