So I already created a post in the user support hub but it look like a bug, since an user answered me and show me he can see the runway on his PFD. : Runway/airport in Garmin G1000/3000 synthetic Vision


SV is off even with the Pilatus :

I ask several friends and I’m the only one with that issue.
I reinstall the sim this morning, nothing change. The only bug I solved was the one with refueling not working in career’s compagnie.

New update adressing avionics but still nothing for my problem. TY Asobo :+1:

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Synthetic Vision (SVT) doesn’t show pathways/runways on the PFD affecting all aircraft with this feature. The ground just turns green when terrain and pathways are selected. This works on MSFS 2020 but has never worked on MSFS 2024. I have reinstalled the sim & reinstalled Windows 11 but still no luck.

I have enabled developer mode to look at the debug logs and have found the following errors:
[Coherent GT] Failed to locate file vfs:///html_ui/pages/vcockpit/core/js_bingmap_wtg1000-horizon_3
[Coherent GT] Failed to locate file vfs:///html_ui/pages/vcockpit/core/js_bingmap_mfd-page-map_4
[Coherent GT] Failed to locate file vfs:///html_ui/pages/ingamehud/js_bingmap_ingamehud-minimap_7
[Coherent GT] Failed to locate file vfs:///html_ui/efb_ui/efb_os/js_bingmap_efb_atlas_0

These errors may also be why the satellite layer of the EFB map just appears black. The terrain highlight and white modes work fine.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:

All Garmin equipped aircraft with SVT e.g Cessna 172 & 208, Vision Jet

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

Hello,

I already post about this here : No runway/airport in Garmin SVT (G1000-G3000-G3X)
and here : Runway/airport in Garmin G1000/3000 synthetic Vision

I’m happy to see that I’m not the only one with this issue.
SVT is not working in pilatus avionics too.
I reach WT and even them don’t know why SVT is not working. They said it’s was sim related and not avionic related but can’t guess where this is coming from.

But since my first post, I already made 2 zendesk but FS devs or mods don’t really care about it.

It’s good to hear that I’m not an isolated case. As an aside, does your Satellite map layer work in the EFB? I’m trying to determine if the 2 bugs are linked in any way.

Cheers

SVT is not working in pilatus avionics too .

I’m sorry, what do you mean by that? If you click OVRLY and select SVT it will work. It’s just off by default.

Hello,

What I mean by not working in pilatus avionics is : for people with not working SVT in garmin Avionics, it’s not working either in pilatus aircraft :
PC12 SVT off :

PC12 SVT on :

PC24 SVT off :

PC24SVT on :

Taxiway, airport sign and runway don’t show up in SVT mode, garmin or pilatus. Even Working Title doesn’t know why there is no render but it’s seems to be simulator related, not aircraft related.

The only thing that renders in SVT mode on is terrain.

Gotcha. Tested a few things, and my G1000 or Honeywells work well… This is indeed a very strange bug. But I’ve read somewhere that flight displays are HTML renders, so maybe there’s some issue there. No idea how to debug that though :confused:

Hello,

I confirm, satellite view in EFB is not working. Only default and terrain are working

Ok I think this will be common to anyone who’s SVT isn’t working. It think the SVT pathways are obtained from the Bing satellite layer. This is why the SVT runways have tyre marks on them instead of being a true digital representation. I’m sure the tyre marks was picked up on another thread so it’s all starting to link up.

Is there a way to fix/refresh the Bing satellite maps? My install is on a clean install of Windows 11 so shouldn’t be affected if I ever used it on 2020 (can’t remember if I ever did).

This issue feels like it can easily be fixed by refreshing the default Bing maps that the sim uses?
