Brief description of the issue:
After receiving an error that I don’t have enough bandwidth for photogrammetry, the game “freezes”

Detail steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
I don’t know a reliable way to reproduce. It’s happened to me 3 times over the last few months since before SU5. All 3 times, I was toward the end of a short flight, turning onto base. Perhaps it happens when loading in assets at an airport you’re flying to?

Don’t remember the version #, but I think it was before SU5.
Longer description:
This issue is present in 1.20.6.0, but has been present for several updates at least.
I’ll be flying a short (30 minutes or so) flight, and when I am almost to my destination (It has happened to be on base all 3 times), I suddenly get the error that I don’t have enough bandwidth to stream photogrammetry. When I get this error, the mouse cursor disappears, and the only way to acknowledge the error is to hit escape, pausing the game and restoring my mouse cursor. I can then click to acknowledge the photogrammetry error, but when I hit escape again to return to the game, it’s “frozen”.
I put “frozen” in quotes, because it’s not quite frozen, it’s just acting like it’s in active pause. I can still hear the engine, I can look around the cockpit, and animations like the prop moving still seem to work, but the plane is no longer moving. I can confirm that it’s not in active pause, and attempting to cycle active pause doesn’t do anything.
The only way to fix is to quit the flight and start over. I don’t know if I have to restart the game entirely, because I’ve just rage quit every time this happens, because holy ■■■■ why does it have to lock up when you’re basically about to land.
