is there an earlier version where this is not broken? just need to render off a satellite map of my whole environment?

Any update on this?

I’m seeing that the issue is marked for 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.14, 4.20 but not for 4.21, 4.22 and 4.23 do they fixed it?!

Looks like the team has given up. It is now marked ‘By Design’.

If anyone is still looking for a solution to this problem, there is a hacky way of making the perspective camera look like an orthographic camera described in this post by JTheme.

It’s by no means a proper fix, but its better then nothing.

Still a problem in 5.2. The first video is in the default Perspective mode. The second is only switching it to Orthographic. The third video, I found an obscure tutorial which pretty-much said to make everything translucent. While it’s the best results so far, it gets wonky after wandering too much.
