What factor controls the drawing of terrain?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

I'd like to see if it's possible to tweak the drawing of terrain objects (mainly trees) in the distance. Currently, I can see trees almost pop into view as I fly and it's a little annoying. Don't get me wrong, it's not terrible but if there's a simple tweak or adjustment I can make I'd like to give it a go.

 

Thanks

Daz

This was possible with FS9, Darren, but not so with FSX. FSX uses batch processing, and that means that all objects will "pop" at some point or other, as they come within range.

 

 

 

and it's a little annoying

 

It's one of the components of FSX which fall into the "emotional balance" between User Expectations and the actual User Experience.

Perhaps P3D will find some other method to reduce the graphics workload. Sometimes Life just isn't fair!

 

All the best,

 

pj
