Set up on runway KDFW , blurry runway and bumps still existing⊠Is a fix to issues at KDFW being worked onâŠ
While waiting for the permanent fix, this is the workaround to get rid of that ground texture issue on KDFW.
I am able to get rid of KDFW blurry ground issue after removing USA - 3D Photogrammetry Cities package. [Screenshot 2023-09-30 205451] Apparently the culprit is that PG city update from World Update X: USA For now, the only silly solution to have KDFW fixed is by: Disabling Photogrammetry completely, or Removing USA - 3D Photogrammetry Cities from Content Manager. The 2nd option works best for me (removing PG cities from WU 10) Make sure to quit MSFS and start it again after removing thâŠ

I just had the same issue this morningâŠFYI
Is this with the workaround or without?
I am having the same issue with the terrain/ground texturesâŠ
Looking in my content Manager, there is no âUSA 3D Photogrammetry Citiesâ lisitedâŠ
I DO, however, have a âGOTY - 3D Photogrammetry Citiesâ installed, is that the same thing??
I also see a âCity Update III - Texasâ, but I donât have it installedâŠwould installing it affect this issue at all?
Hi @LoneSparrow82
Iâll give you some info on how to find the USA file you want, and try to answer some of your other questions.
The GOTY-3D file is not the same as the USA WU file Iâll point out to you.
Installing the CU-TX wonât fix the DFW issue (unfortunately!).
So Iâll explain how I got to the file you want to delete (and see if it fixes your DFW issues):
In content manager, I searched by âworld update USAâ. I got three installations, but you only need the two that say âWorld Update II and World Update Xâ. Select those two packages so you get the check mark next to them, then on the very left side of those, click on âSelectedâ so that only those two show up. Iâve highlighted in red the âpackageâ button, which means all the portions of those packages are just shown as one package.
Once you get your screen to look like that screenshot, press the âhamburgerâ symbol Iâve highlighted in red in the shot below. (just to the right of the one you clicked earlier).
This will âunpackageâ those two world updates, and show you all the components of each WU. If you scroll down a bit, youâll see the âUSA-3D PHOTOGRAMMETRY CITIESâ file, and youâll want to select it so you get the checkmark, and then go to bottom right and delete that file. Note: itâs not very big, so you wonât free up a lot of space, but deleting it âMAYâ help you with the DFW issues. This is not a guaranteed workaround. If it doesnât work, you can always come back into content manager and install that package again (just that one file, you donât need to do the whole WU again!).
PS: This also how you can select various portions of WUs you donât want. You can âunpackageâ each WU and delete out the landing challenges/bush trips, etc if you want to save space and donât use them. Or, you can go into content manager and delete entire WUâs if you want to save space. Again, you can reinstall at any point.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Got it, thank you!
wow, thanks! your suggestion worked for me. I had just not flown in or out of DFW for the past year or so. I had even wasted money on an add on DFW.
Yeah DFW is trash. Like others. I get it to load right about 30-40% of the time. I have decided to now fly into Dallas Love Field instead of DFW. Who ever worked on that portion of the sim from day one it was bad.
Noticed and update for KDFW with the SU15 update. Does anyone know if this issue was finally fixed?
That update was related to pink checkered textures at KDFW and other airports that were introduced in the prior beta version. It wasnât for the taxi and runway problems
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OPâs steps to reproduce it?
Yes.
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
Screenshots are blown out because of HDR, but illustrate the ground texture issue:
Some of the airport (a different tile?) is OK:
Yeah, thatâs a different problem.You might have data streaming turned off for the sim, thatâs usually an indication Bing Maps streaming isnât working.
Can someone provide an official update on the status of KDFW? Last night I found 31L to be completely unusable due to terrain issues along the runway. I realize there is a potential workaround, but i donât want to remove other content to get the airport working.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OPâs steps to reproduce it?
Yes, the ground textures are blurred for me too.
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
Load into KDFW with photogrammetry enabled.
Iâm on PC version sim build 1.36.2 and I have disabled rolling cache.
I do see the work around to remove the 3D Photogrammetry Cites but I donât see this as a suitable solution since it will effect multiple locations for the sake of just one.
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
Photogrammetry ON
Photogrammetry OFF
Can someone confirm if the 3D Photogrammetry Cities is supposed to be only 59 KB?
Yup, same size, same version on my PC.
MSFS Version: MS-Store, Standard, plus All WUs & City Updates.
Any fix in the works yet? I donât want to remove the world update for USA or disable photogrammy.
