What on earth just happened? I just completed a flight from KBOS to KSFO. On descent to KSFO and at about 4000ft, most of the surrounding areas were completely blury, and after landing at KSFO, I have no airport and no AI traffic. This all just occured after installing the latest update of MSFS yesterday. GOD, I hope I am not alone on this.

It sounds like along the way you lost your data connection for a little bit, which then… to help you, obviously , sigh, they switch your to options/data to off… SMH… so you’re now playing “offline”.
The fix is to go into options, go to the data tab, and turn your data back on.
If this is not the case, since you mention AI traffic, are you using an AI traffic injector like FSTL or that other one? If so, you likely have the injector settings set too high, or maybe you’ve been flying for so long?, and you’ve injected too many Simobjects, reached the limit of SimObjects the sim can handle at once (apparently they don’t give their memory back when they’re too far away), so there’s no more room for more library objects to be loaded when you got to your next destination. If that’s the case, you’ll need to turn the density down in your AI traffic injector.
This is a pretty common route that I take and most recently took one from eddf-ksfo without issues, before latest MSFS version. I did check the DATA to see if it was off but is was on. Nevertheless, data disconnection does happen occassionally which is another pain in the bum. I’ll try your advice and see what happens. Thanks a bunch.

If data was on, it wasn’t turned off. Which points to your system reaching the simobject limit as the issue. AI Traffic was fixed in SU11 and 12. If you have an AI aircraft injector, there’s A LOT more aircraft getting injected, especially on such a long flight.
