I live in Fresno and love to fly the default MSFS light aircraft out of KFAT since I know the city so well. Prior to the latest patch (9/29/20) the photogrammetry of the city was fantastic. After the patch (at least for me) the city is now AI generated and is awful. What a major downgrade! Prior to the very first patch I was getting 60+FPS without issues and it was gorgeous. I lost some of my FPS (and overall quality of the scenery) after patch #1 and patch #2 dropped it even more. It seems like each patch downgrades the game and takes it from amazing to less than great. It is looking more and more like FSX each time they force a patch update. I wish there was a way to downgrade or not accept the new “fixes” as they seem to be doing nothing but breaking what was amazing.
Exactly !!! that is what has happened, this is not normal !!!, they have deactivated the AA, now the terrain looks worse, all bad. It’s another different game
I am very sad, it is another different game now, the quality is horrible.
Every patch so far has caused GeForce Experience to re-“optimize” my graphics. For some reason it thinks the optimal graphics are the lowest setting possible. I go in and reset it to what I had before (I keep it written on a notepad beside me to remind me) and everything is back to normal. I don’t normally launch the game from GeForce Experience, but after patches are installed I have to.
I saw this after patch 2. It’s weird that it worked before and stopped.
Unfortunately all of the community suggestions didn’t help me but you might want to give all of those a try.
I thought this, too. My normal taskbar shortcut didn’t seem to be work after Patch 3. So I tried it and gave it 30 seconds, and it worked, after a period of a black screen. I no longer need to launch from GeForce Experience (which, for some reason, now has two MSFS2020 games in it).
Hey I’m from Fresno too!!
After the first patch I had two MSFS2020 games in GeForce experience too. But after playing it once and being sad at the terrible graphics, I went back into GeForce Experience it was back to one game. I changed the settings for it and everything was fine. Until Patch #2 lol
I just checked out Fresno and KFAT… photogrammetry is working fine for me. In fact, I’m a little jealous because it almost looks like the fidelity is a bit higher than where I normally fly, which is Kansas City. I even saw what looked like maybe a recycling facility(?), and even the big piles of cardboard in the storage area were fully 3D.
I appreciate you checking it out. I will have to try again tonight. Maybe the patch messed with my settings or something. As for the recycling yard, it sounds about right… as Fresno is basically one big garbage pile… but its home.
My theory. They are readying this thing for release of X Box Series X. As a result comes this optical downgrade.

Honestly though Asobo/Microsoft are just chasing the $ now. I am incredibly disappointed in this sim. Just add some new photogrammetry and airports and not actually fix anything seems to be their development plan.
Yeah, obviously true. Disappoimted either. And icing on the cake: DumDum-Me bought a new PC to enjoy the photorealistic graphics. But Graphics aside, they really do have to fix ALL the planes too.
Sounds like „Bing data download“ got disabled, and the updates probably invalidate the cached data. Did you check your settings?
what is the solution?
I have everything verified and fine and the simulator now , looks bad
Is it better to turn off the Nvidia Experience Optimization?
