Can replicate in FS2020. Blurry ground textures everywhere (passenger & cargo terminals, runways):

I’m also experiencing this in MSFS2024. Since migrating to MSFS2024 I had never seen it until yesterday. Flown in and out of KDEN many times since then.

Oh god. I swear this was fixed around SU16 and SU3 release. Here we go again…

I’m also experiencing this in MSFS2024. Since migrating to MSFS2024 I had never seen it until yesterday.

In MSFS 2024 SU5 beta, the airport textures themselves are fine and not blurry.

However, the surrounding terrain textures near the airport are blurry and of low quality

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

City Update 10 was causing blurry ground texture including apron and taxiway around KDEN airport, which had been fixed later on SU16 (2020) and SU3 (2024). After City Update 14 release yesterday the issue is appearing again. Uninstalling City Update 14 doesn’t fix the issue.

Coordinate or location of issue:

Denver Intl Airport (KDEN), Colorado, USA

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Appears only if photogrammetry is enabled

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

1. Install City Update 10

2. Install City Update 14

3. Load flight at KDEN

4. Ground texture around main apron is blurred out

5. Uninstalling City Update 14 doesn’t fix the issue

6. Uninstalling City Update 10 does fix the issue but also removes photogrammetry around Denver

Hopefully this time it wouldn’t take 4 months to fix like it was before!

I’m seeing the same thing in MSFS2020. KDEN looks like something out of FS98.

[Mucke46]

Same for me, good to know its a bug

At same time Phoenix photogrammetry is gone again in 2024 (1.6.34) . We previously had these two issues together before SU3 and SU16. What happened on their servers?
