Bad LOD since SU5

Personaly I perceive that I had the best overall experience before SU5

Really?? 

SU4 was a stutter fest, still had blocky reflections of clouds on the water (cubemap reflections locked at 96) and the coastlines were a mess.

I understand that people get nostalgic even of WW2 BUT...

Yes really, this is where things get complex, I run a low end system at mostly high settings, Ill bet your system is, oh wait it is i see in your tag line, no doubt run entirely different settings to me also.

Its this refusal from some to believe others see different results from the same base program despite knowing there is widely different hardware and settings in use that make these threads largely a waste of time

My sim LOD is really bad on regions without photogrametry, even with 400/200 LOD in settings. It looks worse than every other major sim on the market. I have a Ryzen 5800x, 32gb ram, GTX 1080ti and a gigabit fiber connection.

Here is how it looks like on SBCF airport.

MSFS 1:

 

MSFS 2:

 

X11 (with ortho):

 

XP 12 (with ortho):

 

P3D v5:

@Nathos I don't get the point of that comparison when you post XP pics with ortho....

Is anyone noticed the airport autogen and the autogen near the airport disappearing and than reappearing when approach the airport, you can see this in MrFuzzy's video in 2:42, I have this issue in many place

Rather obvious, really.

XP (and P3D with the appropriate autogen) displays more objects when using ortho than MSFS allows in certain locations.
It's a valid complaint that the MSFS world can look sparse at a distance when compared to waht the older generation sim platforms can achieve.

The pop-up of airfield objects (such as containers and/or vehicles on the ramp, taxiway edge lights and taxiway/runway signage) at a short distance from the user view would suggest that the LOD ranges are set too restrictively.
With higher spec PC components becoming available, Asobo should allow simmers with powerful setups to push the LOD range limits.

I am using live satellite textures on MSFS, so it's a valid comparison.
