Sadly, I think you're right.

I really want them Microsoft/Asobo to get it right but this mandatory stuff isn't IMO.

I guess that it is time for the "I'm going back to P3D" line about now.  lol

funny cause I don't have P3D  but I get your drift.  Guess I'll have to find a used copy somewhere.  LOL

The reduced FOV LOD popping issue is a good example of what should not be necessary on a powerful computer. It may be necessary to stay within VRAM/RAM specs on an Xbox, but not on a PC. 

And now we don't have a choice. 

We need a LOD slider for Field of View, not only distance.

And probably on the older version of X Box, so they really have dumbed it down.

I agree, you should be able to control your own computer/software. You can roll-back your updates in windows, remember every system is different.

thank you...I will look into doing that after this one is finished downloading.

Yes they made it for both the Xbox Series X as well as the less powerful Series S.

you are right....but why this mandatory apparent "step backwards" to undo that?  I hope I'm wrong.

Series S, I forgot the name of the previous version. 

The client (MSFS) likely needs to be on the same version as the server (which streams the scenery). You can't have your cake and eat it too... Like the streaming satellite imagery? This is the only model that is feasible. Don't care about the beautiful scenery? Turn it off in the options and unplug your machine from the internet, or turn to one of the other sims that will never look this good. It's that simple.

exactly.....we need those sliders for the PC at least

I don't get the complaining. Just tested it and it looks amazing. Getting 50 FPS on ultra. I fly virtually daily and always used high-end. It's not perfect, I guess there's minor scenery popping (?) but it looks better than pre-update and lightyears better than P3D...

very glad to hear your positive experience.......but when we (PC users) all get these results we have a winning sim

If you use TrackIR or similar peripherals, you look around while you fly. And every time you look somewhere, it looks like a blast wave over the landscape with things popping into view. That's the issue.

Lot's of moaning and some havent even tried it.

Xboxer's get off my lawn!  🙂

on sept the 10th i put a post up on fs reddit saying Night lighting is poor, I don’t no if they can see that they are starting to destroy there own game each patch, when this game came out night lighting was perfect LOD was perfect, but each patch it seems the game is getting downgraded for some reason (xbox) 

so 10 months later and im starting to  think i was right
