Moderators if you want to merge this into the topic that Vincent1064 link’d that would be great, I think it is the same issue
No problem - Done!

I am going to play around with removing some of the other folders and see if I can get it to resolve. I have a little time at the moment.
I completely cleared out that folder, deleted the Cache and restarted the sim. It repopulated the folder and downloaded all the stuff again, but unfortunately it did not solve the problem. I spawned at a different airport covered in trees and um… it was BAD The trees looked like they were painted on the side of a cardboard box.
I then changed the trees to low, not as bad but still have the boxes. So I turned it back up to Ultra, and the trees were much better, but not fixed. There are different species of tree that are now in the boxes.
Hi @SgtDinkyDuck - which airport / location is shown in your screenshot above?
I have the same problem with the trees. As soon as you come closer they appaear normal, but others that are further away get that box around them. I tested with and without bijan enhanced seasons and with an empty community folder. Same issue every time.

The first set of screenshots was at KFNL, The second was at KASE

I am having the same issue of the boxes around autogen trees. Tried removing the rolling cache to no effect.
Today I did another reinstall of MSFS 2024 (it’s pretty fast to do now) and the tree boxes are gone. But last time, 2 full reinstalls didn’t solve the problem that randomly came back.
Dumb question prior to my own reinstall, are control mappings backed up to your xbox account? I just want to be prepared if I will have to redo all of them lol
You won’t loose your controls. Maybe camera views and your graphic settings. And your selection of Activated/UserDisabled packages I guess.

I can’t repro these boxes on my PC.
This is my view at Aspen-Pitkin Co/Sardy Field (KASE) :
and at Ft Collins-Loveland Mun (KFNL):
@Soul4470
I can repro your view at St Charles (LS40):
Though the issue seen here is photogrammetric trees - this is seen in many locations / airports around the world & pre-dates the SU2 Beta (this type of “tree” is also present in MSFS 2020).

The screenshots were from those two airports, but the autogen boxes are literally everywhere. if I go through a random flight right now I will see those boxes with many different species of trees. So the issues is not isolated to just those two airports. I took a flight over Texas on Friday night and it looked like I was in a shipping warehouse EVERY tree looked like a cardboard box with a picture of a tree on it. I did a flight from Sedona last night and about 1/3 of the trees looked the same as my pictures above.
The issue is not with the photogrametric trees. These boxes are very consistent boxes not the blobs you see from the photogrametry.
If you look up at the post where I did a series of screen shots, from a distance the trees appear as a box say 150-200 feet., as you get closer the box fades leaving the 3d autogen tree. There seems to be something wrong with the autogen tree level of detail distance.
I am also NOT running the beta version of the sim.
I am assuming those locations are with the store versoin of the sim and not steam right? I do not have those folders and have the steam version of the sim
