Can also replicate and has been driving me crazy trying to fix it. I thought I did something. But I just an old post where this was fixed in SU3 I believe. It just disappeared for me. Major bummer seeing I fly out of the Phoenix area a lot.

Also having the same issue on Xbox. Autogen buildings and gold trees everywhere.
So annoyed to see this happen again. This was the biggest issue for me with the sim at release since I live in Phoenix and thus am usually flying out of Phoenix. Hopefully the dev team knows about this and can get a fix going ASAP, won’t be simming too much until this is corrected

Same, just autogen. Only thing Photogrammetry adds is a lot of yellow trees (those disappear when photogrammetry is toggled off).

And the buildings (landmarks)

This was only fixed comparatively recently. Frankly ridiculous that it has happened again.
