I doubt there is a “saboteur” at Asobo.  

And yes…you can always stop sitting behind a computer screen and go outside. Hang with friends. Take a hike. Ride a bike. Fly a real airplane.

Ken I tried your setting of 5.25 and left the other LOD ar 2.0 so 525/200.

It does look a lot better. I've never tried above 400 for the FPS hit but 5.25 seems fine, untill we get a fix I will use this, thank you. I even tested at EGLC and VRAM was still below my cap 9400, so all good.

Glad this is helping you and Michael, and anyone else who gives it a try. I fly in a lot of different areas and landscapes, and this setting works well in almost all of them. I do hope that the tree fix is put back in with SU6 (like everyone else can't believe this got nerfed with WU6). The extended photogrammetry draw distance also makes a big difference in all of the areas that have PG, was really happy to see that, and in those areas the terrain LOD setting of 5.25 blends trees in really well. It's not perfect, but does help a lot and provides a satisfactory immersion level for now. 😊

Ken

I am still looking forward to a slider for higher LOD settings (both). 

Kind regards, Michael

It seems that they come into the thread just to poke fun and disrespect people who are having problems.  Unhelpful, and I am surprised by them.

Many thanks again for you suggestion, I am luckly to have the head room to run this LOD and hopefully others that dont can enjoy the great tree LOD again after they hopefully fix it again....

I flight out of KTEB tonight LOD 5.25/200

Up in Norway at the moment and yes, for me the latitude tree line big certainly seems to be back.

What Howard?  The thread or the issue?  :biggrin:

Sorry Bob, nah, the issue. It's been more than a year now and all Asobo seem to do is release world updates with pretty scenery, which is cool, but IMO they should be spending time repairing and dealing with bugs that are continually being reported. I think MSFS is the most exciting thing that has happened in the simming community for years, and I take my hat off to Asobo, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect, after a year, for things to have been a lot more sorted than they are. Do you agree?

I think you misread me Dave, I'm not referring to the thread and the problems of the OP, I'm referring to the continual issues in MSFS :wink:

+1, its almost like Asobos contract with MS from release has been weighted to build cosmetic updates and bring the sim to xbox. Whatever Xbox benefits are gleaned get passed onto the simmers as an SU benefit with regression!

I am becoming frustrated with MSFS, they spoiled P3d for me (eye candy) but the core aspect of simulated flight within MSFS seems to have been forgotten since release. Just hope that now xbox is done, they focus on the PC platform and sorting out all the issues/ideas for improvement the community has raised but remain unaddressed.

Jorg talks a good talk and the dev engagement on the Q&As are great but action is required, no more sound bites filling the time up with "super cool" lip service  😁
