They look great though? I don't see any difference to how they looked before SU5.

EDIT

If it's not an XBOX version? I just wanted to reset to 50 I used the keyboard I see this icon!

Next update I take off with R2 on PMDG!

they're vastly different, as has been mentioned many times ULTRA now represents what MEDIUM was pre-SU5.

Maybe a silly question, but I don't know the answer:

How do I set LOD to 500%?

Is it safe to do so?

And will it stick?

Today I tried to fly under the new circumstances, but it is impossible. It just looks bad in comparison what I had before. How high are the chances that PC users get the old graphics back? Seriously, it looks like X-Plane. I am not ranting or throw a tantrum, I am just wondering how realistic it is to get back the visuals I used to have. In my opinion it could be a bug of the light casting. I hope we can expect a patch in a matter of weeks.

SU5

I fly mostly in the western USA on the PilotEdge Network and is completely covered in X Plane by Orbx TrueEarth.  Outside of weather depiction, X Plane in those areas is looking better on my system after SU5.  Textures are sharper further out, Autogen further out, no weird colours etc.

I use MSFS exclusively outside of these X Plane TrueEarth areas because of all the advances made, so it is such a shame to see MSFS being degraded in this way.  I am so hoping these graphical issues are a bug that will be found and sorted, because the thought it has been pulled back permanently to fit the requirements of XBOX is a depressing thought.  At launch the only thing that I thought that was better in X Plane was the flight model, but MSFS now feels great - it feels like the aircraft are flying through a moving atmosphere.  

Please let these graphical downgrades be a bug!

I don't think the downgrades are a bug - generally. 

They were planning on further downgrades right up until SU 5 release. But the beta team screamed loud enough for them to revert it just before release. If that wasn't the case, the sim would look even worse now.

That’s probably the scary bit - MS probably gave them a 60fps or bust requirement for the Xbox and they needed to meet it come hell or high water. Regardless of whether it looks like FSX now
