SU7 Terrain Load Distance

Featured Replies

Since SU7, The distance at which terrain and buildings load into view has been drastically reduced. I am running ULTRA with everything maxed out. For example, before the update I could basicially see a large portion of the Los Angeles basin and it would have all been populated with buildings, trees, etc.  Now it only loads a few miles around my aircraft. My internet speed is excellent. I did all the usual things like deleting my Community folder, updating drivers, deleting rolling cache etc. Could there be a setting I am missing?

You mean you don't seem them at all or they are of low quality (like melted PG)?
Try without internet connection (or turn bing data off) and see if that changes anything (like buildings and trees are visibile again). If it does, it sounds like a server problem. I assume you also already tried with an empty community folder?

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Beyond a small 3-5 mile radius I don't see much. The terrain textures seem to load in, but no buildings or trees or anything like that. Also, another thing I noticed when lining up for takeoff is the runway centerline markings get fuzzy after the first two or three stripes. Not at home atm, but I'll try turning off bing and see what that does.

Anisotropic filtering and Trilinear optimization are the settings that affect that.

Either in the sim, or in NVidia 3D settings, set Anisotropic filtering to 16x. Note: If you set Anisotropic filtering in the sim to 16x, in NVidia 3D settings set Anisotropic filtering to Application Controlled. Conversely, if you set it in NVidia 3D settings to 16x, turn it off in sim.

Only in NVidia 3D settings, set Trilinear optimization to OFF.

I think this may have fixed it! I was playing around with the NVidia settings before the update. I reset everything to default and now it appears to be back to normal. I was quick to blame Asobo and in this case it may have been me. 

@JimBrownThank you so much!
