2 years since the O.P. and….. doesn’t seem like this is high on the agenda given that nothing has changed.

Even though there is 50% packet lost, you are still getting 100% of the data. Your network is doing a lot of additional work in having packets retransmitted. Did you run the Windows Network Troubleshooter?
The packet loss isnt on my machine / router / or even ISP’s network, it when it makes the jump to the msnet.net network is where you see the packet loss. The second busiest (moving data across the net) akamai comes back perfectly clean.
Pretty simple to see if you use the right tools. And Ive been doing it since Al Gore invented the internet.
I guess I don’t have the right tools… i occasionally run network traces whenever I suspect network problems and I have seen errors to/from a specific address but it doesn’t show me where in the network the problem is.
I would think that if you are seeing 50% packet loss at msn, then EVERYONE that uses msn would be seeing it or at least impacted by it and filling these and other forums reporting their problem.
Alot are having the ‘your connection’ error for the last couple of days. Get pingplotter its free, you can see continuous how the traffics flowing to any site. It’ll show you if your ISP is screwing you, if theres and issue between here and there, or an issue there.
Nifty little tool. When I noticed the problem was about the time people start posting about connection errors.
Sorry, but by the photogrammetry from Amsterdam there is a hole area missing, i live in this town, Amsterdam Downtown, East and South is very good, but Amsterdam West, SouthWest etc are terrible, Bing Photo is there, but no any house…
I don’t think it’s fixable, in all honesty, which is why it’s been ignored since the day I created it. PG never looks great, unless you’re flying a prop plane going 120knots at 2,000 ft over the skyscraper. I’ve yet to see a marketing video in an airliner where a downtown skyline is in the distance and the PG is fully rendered (note that 3rd party skylines DO look good from a distance, but native PG from Asobo, not so much).
Sigh. So I’ve given up on that.

Is there any possibility that PG will be improved in this server update?
Good question assuming you mean the migration stated at the top of the page. However the world is big so even then it’s likely to be nowhere near where you actually want it improved. But if you meant the Sim Update 11 then no, I wouldn’t think so.
No. No enhancements and it appears live weather is broken, again.
The photogrammetry in Los Angeles is not loading in properly. Spawned in Marseilles where it looks amazing.
In LA the drone camera also freezes and I have to CTRL-ALT-Delete out of the game. This must be a bug in the game.
The two first pictures is from Marseille and the two last one from LA (right before the game freeze).

It’s actually normal, not all photogrammetry is of the same quality especially on it’s outskirts. Some is straight out of the Bing box and has never had any attention by hand. The age of PG also plays a part and by who it was captured and what with: Technology changes.
Is this goin to be fixed ? It’s horrible !! every airport I take off from to get a wing view look at the city , it’s apocalyptic melted buildings with spikes ! Doesn’t look real it’s horrible ! Is this goin to be fixed or do we have to drop like $1000 on all payware CITY addons for these melted building cities to show accuracy ? Is this goin to be fixed in SU11 ?

I turned off PG a while ago and I’m much happier now.
PG is fine for me however your pointy buildings suggest internet problems. If you paste a screenshot with location details then maybe I can compare and/or explain.
I have a feeling placing a server in the world’s 6th largest country, Australia , may fix my very poor PG results but its just a hunch. I see a ping of less than 100 I get a nosebleed.

What matters of course is not land size but population, and there we are only 55th. It would be much better to have local servers and given how remote we are hopefully they will, but you can see the problem when you look at the relative size of the market.
You are indeed correct, but i, and i assume no one else who lives in our great land was offered a discount based on the fact MSFS relies heavily on live data, provided in our case from a server far, far away.
At least one server in Australia would help IMHO given NBN and the way it is routed is not great to get it abroad.
Do you find that if you wait long enough the PG has loaded its highest detail level?
If it doesn’t improve no matter how long you wait then it’s possible the PG you are looking at is the best it will ever get, and local content servers won’t help you.
