As Nick alluded to, make sure you have updated 5.2 with the hotfix. Shift Z works fine for me.

My last bit of advice is untick Vector, if you have it installed. That was the difference for me of a flat Philippines and then bang, the place came alive with 3D houses, palm trees etc. the way it was meant to look.

Give it a try, nothing to lose as you can just tick the box again to get it back.

Two things to look out for that helped me.

1/ Delete the ShadersHLSL folder in the P3D root directory and then reinstall the hotfix.

2/ Make sure that you have not set a max frame rate in the Nvidia Control Panel.

[Development update on openLC Asia]

Great news. Count me in.

I have a full size Learjet simulator that runs P3D V4.5 in my shed. I have an inside computer that runs P3D 4.5 and 5.1 AND I have MSFS2020. I have dabbled in MSFS and have been amazed at the next generation in visuals, however, I also got the dreaded update loop. Long story short my whole MSFS2020 got deleted and it took me a month to download from the beginning because of this loop bug. I finally figured out the fix thank goodness.

I'm passing on this story because I will be sticking with P3D for probably at least 12 months. I haven't even mentioned VR yet. 

We all might be lucky and LM will pull a rabbit out of the hat with V5.2 that competes with MSFS ! 

Keep sticking with us Orbx...unless you've had a sneak peek at what LM has coming up and decided to take a punt on LC Asia ?
