Have MSFS 2020/2024 stopped supporting hi-res textures for scenery?

This isn’t confirmed 100% but it stems from the fact that a third party map tool can no longer work with MSFS 2024 and 2020 SU16 because the new map LODs are limited to 256x256 texture tiles and 2020 SU15 could handle 512x512. I assume that this is the following confirmed bug which exists on MSFS 2024 is being now moved to 2020 due to the map updates in SU16.

Hopefully they hold off on pushing SU16 as a result of this.

Ground textures are blurry, LOD System is too aggressive, and Loss of Detail in 2024 - streamed scenery AND CLOUDS looks worse than 2020

I just tried the MSFS 2020 SU16 Beta to see if I could handle using the new ground textures. Sad to report that it’s a complete blurry mess (tested in South Australia). The terrain is now in even lower resolution quality than FSX or P3D. Something has been changed with the terrain LOD and the map tiling resolution. I believe it might have something to do with the sim no longer supporting 512x512 terrain texture tiles and is limited to 256x256. It’s really dissapointing, given now even third par…
