Hi Team,
We’ve been updating many of our products after issues have been introduced part of the latest Australia World update.

Unfortunately it appears when we had Terrain Profiles in Rectangles it flattens the TIN data entirely, causing us to now have to remove our Elevation data which in some cases has ruined our entire airport / scenery.

If we have it in there the TIN is all flattened and no longer visible.
I have attached some photos for you here.

With Elevation Data

With a single Elevation Data tile removed:

So to fix the error I have had to remove it entirely however as our DEM data was 1M now we’ve lost a heap of the nice terrain data we had.

We’ve also noticed water masking has been broken requiring alot of manual work to resolve it.

Would appreciate some assistance on this so we can fix it appropriately.
Thanks team!

I also have this issue with the new Australia World Update 21. From my own experience it is ruining most the my payware airports I have installed. I have spoken with devs including Impulse who have tried whatever they can do fix these issues, however this still persists.

This is led me to just uninstalling the new world update for Australia which I really didn’t want to do, however seems like my only option if there isn’t a fix you guys at Microsoft can come up with.

Cheers

We’ve had our customer say the same. It’s hard when some parts of the world updates POI’s we want to use so we don’t have to double up.

Is this just a situation where there is now TIN data where there wasn’t TIN data before?

Or was there TIN data here before and you were able to defeat it before, and now you can’t?
