So you didn't need to do the Low-End>Apply>Ultra>Apply to get all of the sliders to stick?

I guess as long as you don't open General Graphics settings you'r good to go.  I tried 400/400 and voila, my RTX 2070 Super got nailed!  Panning was a nightmare and I was up to 8Gb and 99% at Roman Designs CYOW!  I had to abort and even at the much easier KBJC it was too much, so back to 300/300. I think I'll keep the 3080 Ti!

Well, maybe there's a work around but it there appears to be a realtime optimizer calibrated for lower LOD.  When I go to even LOD 300 panning is choppy and frame rate during panning goes down to the low 20's from 30.  Or, it's possible the VRAM cache for panning is too small to accommodate higher LOD.  200 is good in terms of panning.  But there is some promise for sure.  In fact, those RTX 3090's may come into play yet 

Noel, I still need to change from low to ultra but if you use custom settings then I only need to do the building dance.

400/400 was super smooth when paning around and what redraw I saw was from were 200 seem to end so was great.

With a 2070 am sure you have found your cards tipping point as my GPU was still only around 60% in use.

I think that 3080Ti could make all the difference.

I wish you well.

Erm, nope. Did you even read what I wrote?

Yes absolutely. I find your confirmation even clearer than your first post.

I'm confused.  When you change from low to ultra and apply settings, how do you end up with 400 when Ultra is 200?  And what is the 'building dance'?

Tell me, what is the sum total of VRAM & RAM in use when you're in a busy airport w/ LOD 400/400?

Noel if you use custom settings you can then add LOD to xxx.

In the graphics, I don’t change to LOW preset then to Ultra. I now only charge Building to LOW>Save….Change building to ULTRA >Save (the building dance)

Change any setting to make your setting preset Custom, then you config will read like this. then only to the building dance.

First look at MSFS with SU5 HF2....wow the sim looks so good again....

Anyway I did this test for you Noel.

LOD 400/400

The harest place I know. Orbx EGLC and London with Orbx London addon

RAM was 11.6 GB

VRAM was 9.4GB it was before SU5 maxed out with this test, not now....it seems for my set up 3080 is fine even there with 400/400. (1440p) I am really happy to see 9.4GB.

So, I get this correct: if you do not use a preset, your LOD changes survive the switching from low to ultra and back when done only for the buildings setting? That would be nice...

Yes Chirs.

Best way is.

Set Preset to LOW>save.

Set Preset to Ultra>save.

Custom your setting>save

Set LOD if you wish in config..

Then after that, just do the building dance with Building LOW>save....Building Ultra>Save...fly.

Is setting the cfg file to read only still important?

Does not work anyway.....so no.

That's correct. I'm doing it the same way as David described. As long as you don't touch the LOD sliders in the Sim UI you can modify any other setting without loosing your LOD settings you have defined in the UserCfg. Just check that the UserCfg Preset is set to Custom. And of course, you must not change Global Rendering Quality when you are in the Sim GUI.

{Graphics
    Version 1.1.0
    Preset Custom
    {Texture
        MaxAnisotropy 16
        Quality 0
    }
    {SuperSampling
        SuperSampling 3
    }
    {Terrain
        LoDFactor 5.000000          <-  put in value which work best for you
    }
    {ObjectsLoD
        LoDFactor 5.000000         <-  put in value which work best for you

Do we have to do the building dance every time?

Guys try first

Reset to default Graphics Settings 

Reset to default Cache Folder

Reset sim

Set Ultra settings in Main Menu

EGNX rwy27 check Windows in Buildings.

Works for me. 

 

 

@Nemo sadly again a negative, switching buildings restores the nextmost building to the right, correct, but any other building further away remains low, until I do the preset switch. Above approach does also not work, I do not even use cache, neither rolling cache nor manual cache. Starts to get a little bit annoying this issue...

I really hope Asobo addresses this issue soon.

You may be right, but I would not focus too much on EGNX. I don't have yet found any issues at other non-default airports. As I mostly fly to add-on airports or Asobo-better-qualtity airports I don't have to use the Graphical Options in the sim anyway.
