O, wait, doing default comparisons is too much work right now but I can easily compare blog mod LOD 125 and blog mod LOD 200 of course. See screenshots below. I can imagine people not caring for this small difference but for me personally it is worth it. 😉 Even at LOD 200 the line where the trees stop can be annoying imho LOL Of course it also depends on where you fly, altitude, time of day, weather, mountains, etc. Anyway, the mod beats default. I can't imaging flying with the default settings anymore.

Thanks for the comparisons 👍  That shows it well. 

Strangely it seems to affect the nearer trees as well.  I am not sure I fully understand what the LOD slider does anymore.  I thought it was just viewing radius from the aircraft, but your trees in the left foreground change as well.  It is obviously linked to size of the objects now (trees in this case), as that is how the tweak works, but I think we are all learning a bit as we go. 

My real question is, does Asobo know what the LOD setting does in their own sim?

Ha!  I can assure you I have plenty of experience of your comparison above   - so I will steer clear!  That settles it then - that's a shame!  I wondered if this was the case by the nearly 2.65GB download size. 

I did a six week training course in Bradford once - aviation related - I'll never forget it and I still have odd dreams about, well, . . .those Friday nights down in the town centre with a bunch of us young pilots thoroughly wet behind the ears - experiencing, all sorts of things. 

I kid you not - an old bloke at the door of a pub called "The Spotted Dog", with a whippet on a lead and holding out a flat cap saying "A pound in the hat for the lass to do her stuff". My "Flying" education was completed in Bradford. That's enough said.

Like that London Scenery - Very attractive but very dangerous - your RAM is going to melt - if you get my meaning. 😉

At Flightsim.to is a update of the Tree-mod avaible.

But without pictures to compare, it makes no sense for me.

Im lucky with the blog-one.

Most of where i fly this mod does not make a huge difference, but I purchased the Venezuela Mayor Buenaventura Vivas marketplace airfield at teh XMAS sale and in the mountains of Venezuela it makes a huge difference.

Desert, Space, Underground 😉

below 1000ft in valleys and stuff with lots of cloud 😄   

 

Venezula with the tree mod looks pretty good though I must say :

My god!  With what you are flying there (a Bleriot?), you will be able to build hundreds of those with the new trees provided! 😁

A wee bit on the slow side but a nice view of the scenery and plenty of time to admire it   😄

The gnome variant is fine but that Azanti version is a PITA to get off the ground without PIO and wing strike.   Oddly (and counterintuitively) a slight uphill runway seems to help.

I flew in Costa Rica yesterday with the Blog mod. They have even more trees than in Alaska. 🙂

Well, I suppose it is because when you let the elastic band go, it is already pointing upwards! 😁

Nice! I'm going to have to check that blog mod out 😄

So, in graphics menu, terrain level of detail slider effects draw distance???

whats up with all that stuttering?

Yes that is one thing that effects it.

But things like building quality effect draw distance of buildings and and tree quality gives more trees close up and effect draw distance and number of trees.

lol ...  part of the trick seems to be to jab the rudder, this is one of my more successful takeoffs
