Product Note:
Due to MSFS ground photogrammetry engine, it’s common to face a few jagged edges on some airports borders/corners. As you may know, if photogrammetry is set to OFF they disappear.
So far the SDK does not provide a tool to handle this properly, and this issue will be present when photogrammetry is ON, whether you use a default or add-on airport.
It’s not a big deal, it shows over a small area, but it’s there. So it’s a user’s choice to set photogrammetry ON or OFF to enjoy the flight.
