Nothing for me, I lost 10fps with this mod, but where I fly there are a lot of trees.

Well I loaded up MSFS for the first time in 6 weeks today to have a look at this.

I took of from EGNX RYW 27 with my normal setting (Ultra) with LOD 200.

I tried

Took off and BANG! wow its like night and day the difference. Amazing but I also thought the trees look a bit odd?

So I DL and tried

Now we are talking, same BANG! for the trees looking amazing into the distance but to me, better looking.

Thank Phantom and Bob.

A Sim changer for sure.

This mod increases all trees and vegetation draw distance up to 10 nautical miles, with realistic trees height. With the Terrain Level of Detail value set to 125, the trees draw distance goes up to 8.5 nautical miles.

 

So, there is only 1.5 NM between 125 LOD and 200 LOD?

Yes.

Interesting, kind of defeats using 200 then. 1.5NM is not a lot, and the lower the LOD, the smoother it becomes.

That is true. I prefer using LOD 125 due to these trees and bushes now fills the blurry Bing Maps imagery quite nicely. 🙂

I am leaving mine on 125 now as well.  My 1080Ti can handle it with trees at medium.  They seem dense enough for me at that setting. 

I wonder if there is a setting to bring the buildings in a bit earlier as well.  Although I don't seem to get much popping recently after the last few updates.

Scenery wise, if they can fix the morphing coastlines, mountains, and valley's, and give us some nice water masks, I will be fairly satisfied.

The community have done a great job with fixing thinks up to now.  I got rid of all of my scenery spikes with the patch on flightsim.to.  That seems to work great.

I was literally just about to ask the same question, if it can be done with trees, can it be done with buildings?

Okay, one topic about two mods, not quite handy. Which one does everyone use here? Or are both used and do both have pro's and con's? Is it a matter of personal preference? Do they do the EXACT same or are there differences? Are there any screenshots comparing both mods with default (with the same ingame settings)? I am interested but also a little bit lost. Obviously I can try them both but testing takes a lot of time with this slow loading MSFS. 😉

I Just tried LOD 125 and 200, I forgot my screenshot key ( well its been 6 weeks 😜) there is a big difference but LOD 125 looks very good, but 200 is even better and its clear to see, so its a PC and personally taste setting.

- Flightsim.to mod includes increased draw distance only for trees.

- Flightsimulator.blog mod includes increased draw distance for ALL trees, bushes and palms PLUS fixes some too tall trees and jungle palms a bit shorter.

What! How did you manage? I can't see myself away from this:

Too many mods to explore. 😀

BTW this extended LOD mmod is off the hook!

I prefer the one from this site.

https://www.flightsimulator.blog/2020/12/29/increase-trees-draw-distance/

It is a bit more advanced now (things move quickly in the community!) 

It has a few more tweaks, as well as correcting heights for all the trees.

I have flown with it today and I think it is great. 

PS. Version 1.7 is the latest, but it should always show the latest version at the bottom of the page anyway.

To say away from MSFS for  weeks?

2 things.

DCS F-16 make anything in MSFS feel simple. Even landing the F-16 is like nothing else, Brakes so bad you have to land and airbrake with the aircraft and the wheels are so close together it a "joy" to land, but once mastered its wonderful just to land well.

A perfect landing, yes this is how you land and stay like that until the nose fails to the ground.

and Cyberpunk 2077 ( 97 hours) All max setting, its a dream to look at and play.

My char
