Mesh/LOD after Usa update

I have reported this to zendesk about 2 or so days ago i know it takes time for them to get back so I’d thought that I would ask the forum for some help here…
So after the USA update, I was excited to see an airport close by that is known for its hill at the end of its runway but I noticed that the scenery elevation has barley changed (this area was in the LOD18) but a small airport close by had the perfect scenery I have tried everything for clearing cache to reinstalling the flight simulator, I feel like there is something that is corrupting its mesh files because I have reported it in the past before so does anyone else have any other tips i can try?

(Plus whenever I go into Developer mode and create a new scenery project the mesh fixes itself but as soon as I exit it goes back to being flat)

the last picture is of bing maps and not from the sim.

From the Release notes. You can check your location and see what the local LOD is.
You did download the World Update from the in-game marketplace right? (4.5GB)

To be honest, on that slightly rolling hilly landscape a higher LOD probably doesn’t make a difference anyways. It’s the more jagged peaks and valleys that benefit the most.

yes, I have. And I see what you’re saying but I find it weird when I go into scenery editor it fixes itself but when I exit it goes back.

try to clean your ingame cache.

I have done that already seems like it’s on Microsoft’s end if I’m not wrong.

The terrain seems to have the correct elevation data, but it looks like that info is not applied to the runway.

You could mod it yourself. Likely outdated navdata. What is the airport called?

Sorry I was looking at the google maps image and got confused. :smiley:

I think it is due to the default terraforming used on runways. You can maybe play with that in dev mode too.

I have tried that, it never seems to save properly though and i’m saving it the correct way aswell. The shape files are all there it just never reads them for some reason.

I havent done an airport fix, but I believe you need to remove the existing one. Just checking if you doing that.

I wish I could send you a video of what’s happening for a better explanation but I can’t since it breaks the NDA do you think i can upload it to youtube and send you the link?

I have no idea what you talking about.

whenever i try to upload a video on here it says it has to be under this exact amount of KB and that it breaks the NDA Basically the file is too large it was a 1 min video.

Oh, sure, upload it to youtube :smiley:

quality is pretty bad give it some time

Good enough.

I think the polygon’s terraforming is messing up the terraforming of the runway.

The way to fix it would be to replace the runway in an airport mod, and either turn terraforming off, or set the value very low.
