I have it now too. It´s something new again. It´s the first time one opens atc. It takes few seconds before it loads. After the first time, it goes much faster.
Is there a tuning to fix this?

I have only TE NL, but the sim loads well. I have a lot of ORBX sceneries. I only synchronized after installing P3D5.3. So far didn´t go to NL to have a look.

The sim was full loaded when I tried the setting motion blur, after clicking ok was back on the desktop. Restart the sim, came to the settings menu, choose my flight and started, another CTD. No i disabled Motionblur in the prepar3d.cfg. I use the latest Nvidia driver 497.09. Could it be, Motionblur...

I did update pretty much like you did and have not problem with the atc menu. I suggest you uninstall the client, leave registration, as you install the client again after it. You also could try a repair of the client first.

Fly directly over the top of the spikes, and see if there is a giant hole or a peak of the spike, maybe you will see the tiny water feature that is not set to the correct DEM elevation. Out of curiosity, have you tried 5.3 yet? The spikes are still there with 5.3. There´s no lake on the ground. Tha...

Hey, so I don't see these in my development build. I haven't fixed anything here since 5.2 so I don't know what's wrong yet. The terrain spikes like that can be caused by water set to bad elevations, so I don't think it's the terrain mesh. I just disabled ORBX mesh in that area, but not their landc...

Recently I encountered two places with spikes and a lake not level: This is close to SESA Airport S2° 12.87' W80° 57.17' https://i.imgur.com/lrcWJBS.jpg This is near SEGU Airport at S2° 12.37" W80° 1.32 https://i.imgur.com/PDjRwdz.jpg and a lake with canyons near SEGU at S2° 12.42" W80° 5....

Yes, that mesh file certainly wasn't necessary to depict the surroundings of the airport. I wrote the developer of the scenery but didn't get feedback from him so far.

Choose your plane, save that flight and declare it as default flight.

Found the cause. The file Area_Lp3_SnapLOD13_N001051553_N000472766_W071281102_W070483797.bgl from Cool Simmers SKMU scenery caused it. The scenery is 65 miles away. Did not expect that. That was a difficult search.

I got a hot trace. The nearby Coolsimmers SKMU has the problematic file. I added some waterfall effects there but maybe also the files from the scenery are the problem. Disabling the complete CSM SKMU scenery brought back the trees in SKCR.

Hmm, tried that. The default airport is in the APX28310.bgl file, which is in the 0303 directory. Deleted all files there and from Windows Apps menu choose Scenery and change. That installed all missing files. Still no trees there. Bizare I´d forget about it, if I didn´t create a little enhancment f...

Thanks Dave. Now I know something is broken on my side. I think I do a repair of P3D first.

Any hints, what file could be broken would be much appreciated.

I have found a place, without autogen, no trees, no buildings, although there are ground textures that usually have autogen objects. A few miles away is a straight borderline where autogen starts to appear. I fear it is a complete tile where autogen is disabled. Could somebody cross check, if this i...

Thanks for the replies. Since I am trying to install on the D drive, I didn't realize I need that space on the C drive. My D drive is more than adequate, but I will have to make some room on the C drive. Thanks. You could move your Documents, Images, Videos etc. libraries to D: too. This would also...
