They may be leaving it up to add-on developers to hand craft important landmarks. Like Orbx's has done for London... or they may handcraft more of these as time and development progresses.

The problem is the landmarks and buildings transform when you get closer so they are not missing just the draw radius seems to be a bubble around the plane

manual cache regions doesn't seem to fix anything. To be honest I find no added benefits whatsoever of creating manual regions. I have spent all day creating high quality regions using the manual cache and the problem with photogrammetry is still apparent. This has got to be an issue with the sim running out of VRAM. The problem is more apparent if you run the sim in 4K. Not so apparent when running at 1080p or 1440p I assume.

If you have decent internet speeds and there are no lag or issues between you and MS/Asobo's server than the cache features don't offer any benefits at all.

But this issue with those ugly, unrendered triangle looking 3d buildings and trees really need to be addressed. It looks amazing when it's rendered out fully but really bad when you look off into the distance and see a downtown full of obscure looking triangles.

I doubt it's vram as I have at noticed I'm only using 6 out of 11 GB on my 1080 ti

Yeah I'm still experimenting with this. They really need to increase the LOD radius for the photogrammetry. It looks awful now. I don't think its due to VRAM either, it's something else.

This should be marked a a Canadian thread lol 🙂

After installation I jumped in the 152 at Brampton (CNC3) and did a sight seeing tour before heading down and landing at CYTZ and saw the same as the OP from the ground. It was amazing to pick out so many landmarks including my house. I have struggled with the performance a bit as so many others seem to post about. It is not to bad in the turbo props and I think the 152 is probably the best but when I loaded up the A320 Neo on 24R at CYYZ it was just a horrible mess (Medium - High Settings). I got a pretty consistent 60 FPS in the Cessna but less than 30 in the A320. I try to lock to 60FPS as I am only running a 42" 1080P LED TV and it keeps the camera movements especially in the cockpit so fluid. I hope in time they iron out some of the major issues.

I am trying to stay positive about MSFS 2020 but for now I think I will stick to GA and for the "Heavies" for now it will have to be with X-Plane 11, FF A320, FF 757, Zibo 737X & Ortho4XP which with my rig and can get pretty much solid 60FPS with decent settings and it looks amazing. The FF A320 is reportedly the heaviest add on but I do not have any issues and let me tell it is a dream to fly with my new Honeycomb Yoke 🙂  

The flight sim future does look bright though.

This is Southampton, UK, (apparently the only UK region with photogrammetery) - there is some Level Of Detail pop up now and again but only occasionally, in general this was very acceptable, and far far far better than the rest of the UK is without photogrammetery.

Ultra settings at 1440p

I did notice that Credit River is on top of an escarpment between Oakville and Mississauga.

Had a blast in Mississauga today.  The great Credit Ridge was amusing to fly around.  There is a "waterfall" by Port Credit.

I solved this problem by setting the LOD for terrain and object to 200.

Nice, didn't know you can do this!

It wasn't like this early on....and we begged for a change but it didn't happen for release.  I have no idea why....  You can have the fastest PC but it will still look like that.

Yeah it’s one of many things that got Ubisoft’d. Just like the tropical weather things have been downgraded.

I am going to give this a try on my mid-level system. Hopefully it can give higher resolution to mountains that are somewhat in the distance. Also I hope it can improve the ground texture quality when flying above 8,000.
