Hello, our test team is having trouble reproducing this - if you have any further details please feel free to share. Here is what they tried:

  • Ran Test with CU2 - France and WU4 France enabled.
  • Ran Test with one of the 2 enabled.
  • Ran Test with neither of the 2 enabled.
  • Ran Test Offline with neither of the 2 enabled.
  • Ran Test with 3rd Party Marketplace LFRS with all Content enabled.

I tried the flight in my original post 4 times and after resting the Xbox and the issue was present on all occasions. I also got a friend of mine to try the same flight on their Xbox and they also had the same issues with the water showing as the screen shot.

I have not tried it today in case it was server load related but I will try the flight again and report back.

There was an update to France WU4 that was installed prior to the CU2 update and I do not have any rolling cache enabled (gigabit fibre internet and no cache seems to reduce Crash to Home Screen issues)

I’ve now had 3 other people fly the exact same route with different aircraft and they all get the exact same issue as shown in the video.

I do not have the 3rd party Nantes airport installed, I was running live weather off (WPP Preset weather enabled), multiplayer ON, live traffic OFF.

Not sure if I can add more but hopefully the video helps and thanks for looking into it

Using Xbox Series X. Did several flights in the area, and the water textures were brown, then flickered between brown and blue when close to or above the river.

Its an xbox problem in various locations all over the world and particularly bad at the Gold Coast Australia. It started after one of the sim updates a while back. It was reported months and months ago, but to date there is no explanation or ETA for a fix from the team. Very disappointing.

To be honest, personally I’ve not noticed it elsewhere on Xbox, but not doubting it exists.

For this particular bug report, I have also got a buddy on PC and he sees the same issues as I see on Xbox so this one is cross platform :+1:t3:

It’s been there for months (maybe 6 month) in various places, Gold coast, Vancouver, London, etc…
No ETA and still no fix

Just try the discovery tour on gold coast Australia and Vancouver and see for yourself

I’ve try everything, complete reinstallation, no cache, no add-on, but nothing solve the issue

It’s been there since su11, it was perfect before

Previous topic is there

Yes this looks like the same XBOX bug.

Closed as fixed in Sim Update 13: Release Notes - Sim Update 13 [1.34.16.0] Available Now
