To be honest, I’ve noticed that in the last few days the colors in aerial images over France have become much more natural again. Especially the green tones. It’s a real improvement.

Are you using Rex accuseason?
No, I don’t use Rex AccuSeason. The only add-on I use for scenery is Realistic Tree Height, which I found in the Store. Everything else is standard. Starting with image 2, it’s a flight between LFLL and LFBD with the King Air 350 at 12,000 ft.
I have noticed the green grass anywhere in the sim, ie airports, mountains etc, rendition is limited to just a few feet out from the camera after SU16. I am actually not sure if it was the same before SU16:
I suppose it might be related to the general lower LOD / pop in issue since then. It must be core-coded as I tried switching both TLOD and OLOD from 5.0 to 10.0, but to no avail.

Yup, these are the forced-LODs from SU16. Raising OLOD to 200, TLOD to 400 or more, Grass to Ultra, won’t help. They’ve locked our range of settings in the quest for FPS.
You will get fewer FPS with TLOD, OLOD and Grass and Trees maxed out, but no visual improvements. 
I’ve got them all on Low now so I at least get the extra FPS that was promised.
I’ve also noticed the runway textures more than 200 feet ahead are blurred, whereas previously they were nice for a solid 500 feet, and I haven’t changed my LOD settings. Something changed on the other side…

Yes, trying to get any semblance of pre su16 I very soon after its release tried ever increasing tlod to the point where my pc turned itself off under the load. Asobo have broken something in the core code base I’m guessing so sorry no there is no fix possible.
SU16.1 Release Notes first line being:
Reverted sim to su15 code base
We can only dream right!
Boy I sure hope they do something soon, every flight now is a sad reminder..

SU16 favor? Another point to prove that MSFS has botched this update. We did not have this in SU15.

I have always been flying like this. No improvement.
My other pet peeve after SU16 - chocolate brown shadows. Wherever I fly, both in Europe and, as I have just found out, in Canada, too.
Here’s Montreal, showcasing another problem I have reported before but never got any reply - Snow coverage always ends some distance from any body of water. I get this worldwide.

Barcelona - Spain would be LEBL for the international airport. 
But I have not seen any pink there

Infact this is with no addon scenery in MSFS 2020. I know, 
I would rather see the pink!

That’s just outrageous. These major airports should be simple fixes, small incremental patches once a week, it shouldn’t take months to fix what’s being shown in the above image for Barcelona and many other areas. When Niagara Falls still looks the way it does on top of every other horrendous terrain & texture issue in both 2020 and 2024, it’s pretty much settled that Sim Update 16 is a complete disaster. I’m so glad I trusted my instincts when it came to FS 2024 by staying away from it, because to be honest I had no idea FS 2024 suffered from so many major problems until those same major problems were forced upon FS 2020 customers in the form of Sim Update 16.

There is a megathread for faulty stock / handcrafted airports / helipads here. you could report issues there, altho it seems like fs24-only you can also report fs20 related shortcomings. I’m not sure tho, how swiftly the developer reacts to and fixes those glitches reported there as it looks like a pile of issues atop one another.
Great to share, would you have a chance to share post-SU16 screenies of the same spot ? or would you care give the name of the airfield so that I may recreate ?

Is that plane parked where IRL the heli pad is generally located?
