I am sorry that i cannot give exact coordinates, but it is in Edinburgh since it also cross and “cuts in half” the capital of Scotland. A better way is to try flying with a plane around and above the city.

And besides you can find many if you fly above the whole british soil, Scotland included at below 5000 ft at about 200 - 250 knots, or less if you use pistons. I used TBM930 From Keflavik (Iceland) to Edinburgh and i already saw these. Only on British soil, all other countries’ ones don’t have it.
I think if you explore the British soil all throughout it would be easy also for you to bumb in one of these strange graphic bugs.

MIND CAREFULLY!!!
I don’t use photogrammetry/world bing data for reasons which jumpnfrom frequent server connection problem into big GB data consumption.

IDEA!!! I can privide you a screenshot showing the flight plan of the route

Departure RW27R EGLL CPT Transaction arrival ILS24 EGPH GIVE… About a similar yhink should be the ILS24 Transaction…

If you try this flight plan or try Keflavik to Edinburgh, it would be easier.
I bumped in many "broken soils in many parts of Scotland and also England.

One more bug i can report (did it also to Zendesk):
ILS24 Transaction GIVE… or similar, my memory fades away… is misaligned from runway 24 center line, this when i activated LOC and APPR on IniBuilds A320 Neo. To land on it i did a manual maneuver and reactivated AP, but if thebdevs could fix this misalignment, i would be grateful, my thanks for your endless patience and attention.

I am getting these long gaps in the terrain all over Scotland in MSFS 2020. I have tried removing mods, refreshing the cache, running in DX 11 and 12 but I cannot get rid of these deep lines

EDIT: Don’t know if this matters, but I am using the PC, Steam version of MSFS 2020 40th Anniversary Edition. All my drivers are up-to-date, and the game is too, as of writing this. I also do not use Bing maps. I have installed all the world updates. Hope you guys can fix it as these lines all over the place are pretty ugly.

Could you provide the coordinates where you are seeing this issue ?

To do so, you need to activate the developer mode and the “Display position”. Then just copy/past the LatLong coordinates:






Here are screenshots, with more to follow, from a short flight across Scotland. These lines and blue artifacts are everywhere. Also, the simulator itself was very prone to stutter today, even freezing up on several occasions.
My PC runs an AMD 7900 XTX graphics card, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core Processor and has 128 GB of RAM. I run MSFS 2020 on an SSD.
These lines are all over Scotland. They are so pronounced, you can even see them from the world map flight setup screen. They are like a patchwork which passes under the water and rises again. Scotland has beautiful terrain for GA flights, and it’s such a shame this bug ruins the experience. I hope the Dev team will give it the serious attention it needs, as Scotland is but a tiny part of the world.






More Screenshots. I could post loads more, but the forum will not let me. Hopefully what I have posted is enough.

Yet more. I choose MSFS 2020 over '24 because I had concerns about streaming data. My thinking was, although the sim would take up large amounts of SSD space, I would be assured I wouldn’t encounter stutters, freezes and other issues, in effect I would be running it mostly offline, like I did with FS2004 and FSX previously, but this seems not to be the case. Really, the only online feature I use is weather.
