I'm really not happy today !I can't do a vfr flight in these dire MSFS representation. 

XP11 with ORBX TrueEarth are doing better than MSFS in this area: 

No trees popping here and trees as far as the eye can see.

Same PC ( upgraded the RTX 2080 Ti to 3090 but with the same Graphics settings  ) same internet speed, same resolution

What do you think, guys ? Is there a difference ( trees, grass, buildings, roofs, etc  )  ???

I have many screenshots from August 2020

I'll upload some of them, later

Sorry, too busy yawning. I've been taking a glance at your posts throughout the day, today - whilst others of us have been trying to sort out the problems - your posts are not helpful, they're not particularly interesting and, if you don't mind me saying, are thoroughly in the classification of Troll.

Keep your screenshots to yourself - they're not contributing anything to this Thread whatsoever.

Okay, no problem

Please, ignore my posts / screenshots

Thanks. I appreciate that.

Yeah, this update has pushed my tolerance a sliver beyond the serenity buffer which my dry martini usually affords.

Perfect Mr Niven. Latest Update definitely contained "The wrong Kind Of Ice."

Assuming he is a paying customer and not a dev, and he had a more functioning product a few months ago, is it really his job to "sort out the problems"?  How would he go about doing that?

Not an attack or anything, I just don't know what else we are to do but whinge when Asobo seem to be slowly dismantling a sim we've spent a lot of money on. 

I'm surprised Asobo hasn't released and emergency patch to fix this.  They promised trees as far out as the eye could see in past podcasts. Now it's so much more important now that VR is a reality in the sim. Because of the promise made by non other than the CEO of Asobo I was expecting a statement they'd be fixing this in a few days.  It's clear someone screwed up but to say nothing about it is flat out wrong.  Someone went so far as to not only break this feature but block any modding, that's just plain wrong.  Very surprised at how this is being handled... 🥺

I was also surprised that there were hardly any comments during the live stream concerning this issue. I am not sure if Asobo really knows that many users have the issue.

They listen to a certain subset of users.

For example they completely ruined night lighting and made it Disney fairy-tale castle land at night because some users wanted pretty lights.  They have made waves unrealistically high and rough even on small areas of water for any given wind speed because some users prefer 2 meter waves on every duck pond, even at just 6 knots, for nicer screenshots.

In this case I suspect they are responding to complaints from people who are using a generic PC from Walmart, on a 4K TV, with all sim settings at ultra, complaining the sim is too demanding.  Instead of making the sim more optimised it is far easier to reduce how high users with low end PCs can slide the settings.

You guys are doing it wrong... just fly over water or deserts and this won’t be an issue 😉 

That just allows other artifacts to be more obvious. 🙂

Like the way textures are popping in close to the plane in places like shorelines. Or cliffs and embankments, where the ortho image is stretched along a vertical axis and the texture is popping in, even while the frame rate is a smooth 45 fps with no stutters. It's a different issue from tree LOD but it's still there.

Actually I am not sure if Asobo even knows that every user has the issue. Most of users are just ignoring it, not looking into the distance, don't want to spend their time on forum,...

For me, it's not acceptable. Autogen buildings has terrible draw distance, textures at distance are completely blurred, PG has problems and now even trees (which was fixed by glitch) have tragic draw distance. Funny thing is, the vegetation draw distance fix had no impact on FPS at all.

Lod issues are #1 voted issues for more than half a year and these issues were still not fixed, not even confirmed, they were just denied by developers multiple times... Mockery of thousands of people complaining about this. Just give us 4 sliders for LOD things...

Ultra setting, the hill is about 2 miles away...:

It surprised me too and I think that ALL users must have this issue, but some (many?) simply don't care.
