September 8, 20214 yr Hi, The higher resolution mesh in WU6 is definitely a welcome improvement. Problem for me is that the mountains morph at an extreme level, totally killing the immersion. Is there a setting that reduces this behaviour? I'm running everything at Ultra - so not sure where else I could tune. Thank you!

September 8, 20214 yr It's a general issue with all FSX/ESP/MSFS deeply buried in the terrain engine. Look upon Pilot's mesh in Prepar3d. Thus, I don't have high hopes it can be resolved in MSFS anytime soon, and the present update didn't alleviate it, just to the contrary because of the higher resolution, as you note. To my best knowledge, there's no user setting for fighting it. The only way to (nearly) eliminate terrain morphing seems to be the proprietary technolgy used by ORBX in their NZ mesh.

September 8, 20214 yr Yes, this is an incredibly annoying thing. From MS/Asobo‘s silence about this issue that’s been so obvious since December, plus the fact that nothing’s been done about it so far, I take it that there‘s no easy solution at hand. If I had to hazard a wild guess I‘d say they weren‘t aware of it when they built the foundations of this sim. With Bing Map‘s default low-res DEM it was hardly visible and only later when they integrated high-res mesh as requested by the community did it become that obvious. i9-11900K, RTX 4090, 32 GB ram, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, TCA Airbus sidestick and quadrant, Reverb G2

The morphing is really minimal. Some slope get "inflated" when getting close but nothing really disruptive.

September 8, 20214 yr Author Thanks guys, I had the fear that there seems to mbe no easy solution. It's more pronounced at higher speeds (was using the F15 to get a first overview of the area) but it's definitely also noticeable with GA aircraft. Maybe Asobo could impliment a feature similar to the texture precaching setting that would prechache mesh data...

September 8, 20214 yr Added my vote. TBH I assumed it was my aging 6700K processor (trying to power a Reverb G2) and that the problem would go away when I fork out for a new PC. Will I be dissapointed? This morphing takes all the immersion out of flying through the Scottish glens. The reason I thought it was processor related is that it looks similar to the way buildings in London are blobby messes and become sharp as I get near.

Happens on my 9900KS with 3090 too…..happens with all systems, known issue with the sim engine.

Which isn't a conincidence, I think. Basically, Photogrammetry like in London is sort of a mesh, just laid down over a city.
