Hi Dow. Thanks for looking into it. My screenshots are default MSFS with the Auckland pack. No other add-ons and I followed instructions clearing cache and key files etc.
As per my earlier post, this doesn’t present from the east. Only from the west.
Interested in your position for the photo over the Tasman. These spikes appear at a certain range. At 400 LOD they appear for me about when I hit the coast (then disappear once im very close to the spikes). If you were over the Tasman (eg with high camera zoom) it’s possible you may not have been in range for them to appear. My 400 LOD example screens are from above the Waitakere ranges.
