Hello,
I’m facing an issue with the CGL “custom satellite imagery” in my scenery project.
I followed a tutorial explaining how to generate custom imagery from sources such as Google and Bing. The only variation in my workflow is that I used QGIS to capture the desired satellite image, cropped it in Photoshop, and then continued with the tutorial as instructed.
I then used tiles2bing to convert the tiles. In the “free flight” menu, everything looks correct — the transitions are smooth and there are no visible problems.
However, once inside the simulator, a large square outline appears at the edge of the image, creating a very harsh and unrealistic transition.
To clarify, I did not modify brightness, hue, saturation, or any other values. The imagery was captured directly from Google Satellite via QGIS.
I tried with a Bing image and it does the same thing.
I also tried it on fs24 and got the same result, except that you can see the large rectangle directly in the menu.
If masks are required, I haven’t seen anything in the SDK about it — in FSX/Prepar3D it was possible to create masks, but I don’t see how this can be done in MSFS.
MSFS20 in Menu (You can see what I have circled in red, that the transition is good.)

Has anyone encountered this issue before, or knows how to resolve it?
Sincerely.
