There are black squares in Switzerland since the last update. I use the Swiss images from Aerofly FS2. Streaming set to off brought no change. I thought it could be in relation with masking?
Black Squares in Switzerland

I guess I have found what causes the black squares. It has to do with the images that the streaming feature downloads and stores in the sd folder. These images or better the empty spaces in between cause black squares.
Here it downloaded level 10 images. However there are 2 missing tiles above and below the word Gruyere. That's exactly the 2 tiles that are black from a certain distance.

@TomB: If you have installed user content, that could interfere here as well. As a test, disable your user content temporarily and check and see what happens then.

You are right. I have disabled the user content and the black squares did not appear. However the appearance of the squares is related to the streaming option. Turning off the option let the squares also disappear at least in my last tests.
I do not understand what initiates Aerofly to download images of Switzerland when I have the HD images from Aerofly FS2 installed. I do not see a need to load additional low level images. I thought you mentioned that user content is allways above Aerofly content in hierarchy.
This is what has been downloaded to the sd folder during my test flights:

TomB: Your local files have indeed a higher priority, however those black images can appear if you manually generated color maps do not cover all requires levels. As we have no control over this, there isn't much we can do. It is recommended to provide continues levels from 9 up to 14 ( or higher if required ) without holes.
