Is it me or ground texture/mask changes when you start at an airport with rain? Everything is greener and sharper even at the destination airport and throughout the flight! The problem is you will see popping and blocks of greener ground textures which doesn’t look that nice! Or are the Bing maps being updated? I had not noticed this until a two/three weeks ago and I fly this sim a lot …
Bing tiles are a mess in Europe since months and Asobo has acknowledged the issue.
Hopefully it will be fixed with SU15 according to the roadmap.
But I am noticing this in Iran now! It’s crazy, today was totally new Bing Maps. Somehow I am noticing the maps only on rainy days!!! The maps look generally beautiful but the pop in/outs are crazy! Don’t have this issue when the older map shows up!
Which part of Iran? Nearest ICAO?
Everywhere, but you can start with OIII Tehran.
I flew from OIII to OIKK and back last night and the ground colors were all different and updated! The streets within the eastern area of Tehran were also corrected!!! it’s crazy …

I can definitely confirm that there is new Bing maps in MSFS! At least over Iran, where I fly! The new map includes new mesh it appears! It’s beautiful but there is one major problem and that is the pop in and constant texture block creation that is very visible and kills the immersion. Hope Asobo clarifies what’s happening.

And back to old Bing map! Seems like the new Bing maps were short lived? It would be nice if Asobo has some kind of an explanation regarding the back and forth change in Bing maps! I am surprised not more people are reporting this!!!
