I don't want to run in administrator mode. Is there some things I can do manually like changing hosts file and then run this mod in non privileged mode.

I'd like to know this as well, kind of sketchy if you ask me.

Excellent mod and extremely easy to install and use. Improvements over Bing and with no noticeable fps impact in my flights from VNKT (Katmandu) to VQPR (Paro). Thank you very much.

I tested it now and it seems to work fine. If I uninstall the mod, will it stay in the previous state?

Textures load very slowly. How to make them load faster? When I fly in the plane, I can see the textures in front of me. THX

Used this past weekend for a flight from KIAH to KLAS and the views were amazing! Flying around Honolulu however I still saw Google watermarks in some of the imagery. Not the app developers fault but it still ruins the experience hence one less star. New interface is amazing. very well done!

Hello. With any settings on any server, I get just bare soapy surface textures in the game. It doesn't matter which cache, it doesn't matter how long I wait for the download, it's just an ugly picture. It doesn't work for me/

At least ask around before leaving a bad rating on purpose

If you know the solution, I will be grateful for the answer, and I will be happy to change the rating if the mod works.

First of all thanks a lot for this great addon. Now I got a little problem since version 5.0.9: when starting the enhancer the image servers fails at first. After I stop the mod and starting again it works fine. I did not had this with the previous versions. Is there any help for that. Thankyou.

Best regards Jörg Trefzer, Switzerland

Not enough bandwidth to properly stream photogrammetry message can be fixed in task manager, just give the add on and python real time priority.

Does not work for me. Not able to overcome host not found issue. It's too bad because I would really like to try it.

6/29/22 Update - Must have had a bad or corrupt host file in the computer I use for MSFS2020. I copied the host file from another computer onto a thumb drive and used to replace the host file in the MSFS2020 computer. Works now and very happy with the way it looks.

You should ask around and try to solve the issue with the community before dumping a bad rating. It's literally one of the most essential mods for thousands of us.

Have tried this multiple times and different versions and to this day I still have not been able to get it to work. Shame, as I would like to try it. I have referred to the website to solve the "hosts" issue but nothing so far has worked. This is the only addon that does not work for me.

Same here, the last working Version for me is 3.24. Since then there is always a problem with the image server. My internet connection is fast, i´v tried it with Firewall and AV off and even with a clean install.

The crash is related to a GPU issue. Please make sure you have the latest display driver installed.
