the issue is still acitve… instead of adding new features or platforms Asobo / Microsoft should ensure a stable and fixed sim - after that they can go further - every update made it worser
That’s kind of what Asobo are doing for the next two patches, clearing the decks as it were, but I confess I have no idea off the top of my head whether runway tears featured in any way in SU6, but the release notes are out there if you care to read them. SU7 is a total unknown at this point, to us on the periphery.
In a certain way … this bug already has been fixed in SU5.
The “tears” and “tile cracks”, since SU5, are no longer limited to photogrammetry areas … and they often are no longer “random” but persistent and reproducible.
I think that this is important as it shows that they have somehow unified the terrain creation … and it seems to have helped to speed up the graphics.
There is a more general discussion going on over here …
still get a crash when taxxing on RWY 30 at KOAK with photogrammetry on.
Not Fixed!
So unfortunately, airport loading too late issue has started again for me!!! This is very bad since the issue was resolved pretty much after SU5 and it’s bag again! The airport basically loads incorrectly or too late and a result the sim thinks that I landed on dirt! This happens always on the third leg!!! Hope they fix it.
This started happening to me after UPD7. I just crashed twice in a row when trying to land in KATL, RWY28. Boring uneventful flight from Miami to Atlanta, approach through heavy fog, so i haven’t seen the tragedy until i was touching down, then hit a wall that shouldn’t have been there. Basically there’s a stairway 28 instead of runway 28. Blammo. During the second landing, i tried to set it down as late as possible on a relatively straight patch of terrain (and only on the right side from the center line), but then i drove into a huge hole during braking, so i crashed anyway. This is ■■■■■■■ me off to no end. If it’s not one thing that’s broken, it’s another. What a dumpster fire MSFS turned out to be. 
This issue is extremely disheartening.
I’m even having issues with this whilst taxiing on taxiways.
I flew into KFAT, was taxiing on B3, had just crossed 29L and was turning right onto B. I was observing the strange photogrammetry buildings along the side of the airport when I crashed due to damaged landing gear.
Like a dope, I didn’t capture the footage. I loaded back into KFAT and tried taxiing around the exact same part of taxiway B3/B, but couldn’t reproduce the issue. It dawned on me, “Right, the data is now cached.”
This issue has nailed me more than once just taxiiing. My first flight out of KBUR had me taxi to R15 and just as I turned onto the runway, I damaged my landing gear and crashed. I wasn’t able to reproduce that again, either.
It has to be these tears whilst the terrain loads. The worst part of this is the unsuspecting nature of it. You can pull off a number of landings/taxis with zero issue and then, of a sudden, BAM! you’re caught out unawares.
Just, d*** it!
I had it happen again today while taking off from runway 30 at KOAK. I was using the FBW A320 and just as I began rolling and the plane flipped on its left side and crashed. Just 20 minutes prior I landed at this airport from KLAS and I didn’t restart the sim. I just reset the MCDU and set up a new flight plan.
I haven’t had a problem in at least 5-6 months, so I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.
The KOAK 30 has been there since launch and isn’t a tear, it’s an invisible object. You can even coax your landing gear up onto it like a Jeep clearing a large boulder.
There are objects all over the taxiways and apron.
Harumph.
I see. I tried again and recorded the even this time.
@Asobo @MSFS please fix. Can’t use this airport like this.
I have this issue at every airport that’s in the photogrammetry area’s. Very annoying. Been like this probably since SU5. I have to avoid all big cities or risk the chance of crashing upon landing or takeoff. Please Asobo…fix this issue.
Runway tears have been increasingly worse over the last few weeks. This causes the plane to crash during takeoff and landing quite frequently. It’s almost unbearable at the moment. After getting the plane setup (20+ minutes), it crashes when it hits a tear in the runway, causing the plane to flip and subsequently crash.
A lot of wasted time…
I haven’t seen on of these in ages. Do you have an example airport?
The last happened today while taking off from KDAB. Yesterday was during TO at KSTL. Four days ago it was while landing at KPBI. Seven days ago it occured while landing at KCLE. I strictly fly the FBW 320 (DEV version).
I haven’t had any issues in a really long time so I wonder if it’s on my end, but I can’t understand why. I haven’t changed anything in my system in a really long time. It’s really strange…
Anecdotally it only seems to affect users flying faster moving aircraft. That said I have also shot a video using the drone camera, and used it to scoot over the surface of a runway that is known to suffer from this, and I never saw it then either.
I primarily fly GA so this may be why I don’t see it. Try the same flights, or at least parts of them in any other non-airliner. I think you might be surprised.
This has become a major issue again since SU11.
Exactly! I keep having this issue while I fly in the inibuilds a310. Pretty much every airport has this terrain issue. I’m on xbox series S
I second that. I’ve encountered tears and terrain issues at quite a few airports since SU11, i.e. KSFO, KMIA, KBOS, KLAS. I’m sure the list is not limited here.
