Tree cover has changed

[xtp]

Local tree cover where I live (NE Hampshire UK) was surprisingly well represented in the initial release with fields surrounded by trees leaving local fields realistically empty.

 

Now FS2020 is up to 1.11.7.0 I find that tree cover has increased dramatically since the initial release and ,for example, the local playing field that I was able to land on is now a forest and the adjacent building is similarly surrounded instead of being clear.

 

I've tried turning trees down from Ultra to Medium, but that doesn't seem to affect this area covered in trees.

 

Is this disappointing revision of tree cover a universal issue or am I just unlucky?

Make sure the the update didn't turn off "Bing Data World Graphics" and "Photogrammetry". That has happened before. It's under Options/General/Data.

 

I hope that's it.

Brilliant. Bing World Data was off. That's fixed it. Many thanks.

I had just bought MSFS about a week before the update. I started flying around my house, which the area was very well represented in almost a satellite style imagery. Then the update came out and everything changed. Now it doesn't look anything like the way it really does. The satellite imagery is gone and replaced with a basic default style. I've check all of my settings and everything is still on.

For the moderators, I'm glad my post was allowed, as I figured out my issue. The Satellite imagery is back and looks like the original picture. I had noticed that, while the settings were all turned on, I couldn't access the marketplace on the main page. A little (250 or so websites later) research revealed that I was logged out of the Xbox live but still logged in to Microsoft store app on my PC. Logging out of both, and logging back in cleared the Marketplace issue. It also brought back the satellite imagery.

So, for anyone else noticing that the settings are correct, but still no Sat images, log off and back on both MS Shop and Xbox live.
