I have not noticed those, so I don’t think so.
I am using DX-12.
I do get the bad ground tiles at airports issue. I really wish Asobo would have rectified that bug by now.

Just to set expectations not everything is perfect on PC! In fact one of the most annoying problems I have so far is with the controls.
I use the xbox remote to control the drone camera. It connects over Bluetooth and works the same so all good.
Except sometimes it connects over Bluetooth. There’s a roughly 50% chance it will refuse to connect and just stubbornly flash at me. When it does this then I have to disable and re-enable Bluetooth from windows settings. This is really frustrating.
Of course the stupid controller powers off if you don’t use it for a little while, which mostly I don’t because I’m in the cockpit. And you cannot change this setting. So it breaks most flights.
There’s no such problem using it on the xbox but it turns out then it uses a proprietary protocol not Bluetooth, so presumably the implementation is not that well tested or reliable.
So the xbox is still giving me trouble of sorts!
Which reminds me I was going to try with a PS dualshock controller and see if that works better. I’ve never liked the xbox controller anyway, the dualshock is a much better design.

I have this same annoying issue. One thing that has helped it has been to set Bluetooth power to On in BIOS rather than leave that BIOS setting to Auto.
It still does it occasionally, but it is greatly reduced.

I’ve never seen it under DX12, but bugs in MSFS are very mysterious so you never know who’s going to see or not see a bug.

I checked my bios, Bluetooth is either on or off, so doesn’t seem I can improve it.

That is a drag.
I find the phenomenon very strange. Microsoft OS with Microsoft peripheral. You’d think they’d have that dialed, no?
I mean yes I’m some other universe probably it works but in this one I’ve used Microsoft products for several decades, and well to be honest I’m just not surprised.
I suspect they are try to sell me this:
At least if I could find one available anyway.
I thought that was needed when using an earlier, pre-Bluetooth, Xbox controller like the ones that originally shipped with the Xbox One.
I wonder if the current Xbox controllers would sync up with that and bypass Bluetooth.
Yes I think that’s exactly what happens, it uses the proprietary protocol as for xbox which we know works. You need the generation/version 2 device I think.
I had issues with a BT Xbox controller.
In my case the root cause was interference. I was using a BT mouse, and BT headphones, a scan would also reveal a number of other BT devices around me (neighbours).
I ended up ‘resolving’ the issue by disconnecting everything except the xBox controller from my BT adapter.
Note that normal bluetooth operates on 2.4Ghz so old fashioned Wifi can interfere as well, even a microwave oven does.
What the MS ‘special adapter’ does, is that unlike regular bluetooth, it uses a 5Ghz frequency, so it will not overlap with a bluetooth mice, headphones, Smartphone, TV or Wifi B/G/N…
Therefore the XBox controller tends to operate more reliably when connected to an MS ‘special adapter’. You need a specific version of the controller for compatibility (not sure which).
Interference is a thing for sure, but it’s not my issue. The controller is rock solid when active, it’s just 50-50 whether it will reconnect when I wake it up.
My network is dual band but mostly 5GHz and there’s nothing else Bluetooth active, nothing else paired to the PC even. I did have the controller paired with my phone from long ago but that was causing it to act up so I removed it from there. Now the only thing it’s paired with is the PC which is 2 metres away.
I remember long ago with 802.11b, before they’d worked out how to make wifi and Bluetooth share the bandwidth and it was atrocious, every time I moved the mouse the wifi would drop out!
