Frustrated Terrain Issue

[ypaul123 1]

Hey folks,

 

Sigh, no matter how I set up my range of detail (which is not set to very high), I get this issue where the buildings near me are being rendered and the buildings far from me (a little far not 100km away) are not rendered (attached is a picture depicting the issue)

what can I do to make it render the autogen a bit more realistically ?

 

 

Thanks for your help

 

[ErichB 3,642]

What are those vertical stripes ??

[BrettT 63]

Sorry, but that is the extent of the Level of Detail Radius for Autogen

[ypaul123 1]

i dont know, cell towers ?
 

[Bobsk8 12,717]

What are those vertical stripes ??

 

antennas. 

[Dazkent 113]

is this version 3.2?  i have seen a few posts about this issue that seems to be worse in this version

[Stefan Muehlemann 2]

Have you tweaked your cfg.?

[Raven9000 272]

Add some good old AA...

[ypaul123 1]

Have you tweaked your cfg.?

no.. should I have ?

[AviatorMoser 353]

I think the autogen draw distance may be even worse for trees.

[Stefan Muehlemann 2]

No. You don't have to tweak the cfg.

The "Fiberframefraction-tweak" can causes blurries like yours.

Post your settings please.

Why?

This is completely useless. With your graphics cards, even on FSX, this should be UsePools=0.

[Stefan Muehlemann 2]

Ok. This is not the original cfg.

Did you have used the addon manager tool? There are some useless tweaks in your cfg.

Delete your cfg. And let the sim make a new again.

For coreassignement take better a tool like easytool.

Jobsheduler is not really a solution.

P3D runns verry well out of the box.

Highmemfix is also useless in P3d since V.2

Your cfg is full of tweaks

Why you say you dont't have tweak it?

I see there is the FS Dreamteam part in your cfg.

Thats the proof, that you used the addonmanager tool from your P3D menu.

When you use the Addonmanager tool, it tweaks your hole cfg.

 

Copy paste the FS dreamteam section in your new cfg. that was createt from P3D:

 

[FSDREAMTEAM]

AntiPopUp=30

ViewOptimization=1

AltitudeCull=1

GroundTraffic=1

 

 

Then you have only the tweaks that the FS dreamteam airports need to displayed without pop up the aorports.

And than: Dont run again the Tool from the Addonmanager.

He did not mention anything about using FSDT airports? Those tweaks will do nothing for him if he doesn't have problems with FSDT specific airports/scenery.

Don't know what to say about this. It's been proven time and again that setting an AM helps in many ways. And using an external tool to set AM will only mess up the threading process of P3D.

 

 

All that being said, I've done some extensive testing with 3.2 and unfortunately the problem does not seem to lie within settings or  tweaks. It seems like a coding issue or something along the line. Same settings in 3.1 and no blurries or popping but they exist in 3.2.

 

See my thread "Blurries with high autogen" (although I've confirmed its not exclusive to high autogen only).
