MSFS Adaptive LOD

[Noel 4,563]

Is anyone reporting any significant downsides with this app?  If not then seems like a good mod esp for those w/ 3+ y/o CPU, which is me.

Took 3 minutes to install, settings took nothing, ran like a charm, did two very quick test flights and works perfectly. You can see the buildings and such fading in and out as you cross the altitude values, and I only mean that if you're looking for it. It's not at all like the scenery popping we all know. It's an amazing little program.

What is it doing for your personally if you will?

It allows me to keep the same setting graphics setting on the ground as I use in the air with the exception of LOD which I have in the air at 400 and 200. That's it. Smooth in the air and smooth on the ground. I could elaborate but I don't have the time.

Curious, shouldn't we want to decrease Object LOD as we increase in altitude? What objects are we seeing up close in cruise flight? Or does this setting affect things like cockpit details and such as well?

How do you uninstall this? It's not showing up on my apps list.

I understand your logic but thats not the case.

I'm not 100% sure on the reason why it's the obvious but I'd guess it's because the lower you fly the intricate the objects and shadows are. eg at height a tree is just a green blob, down low you see the tree trunk and branches and leaves.

On my aging old PC I can run all graphics on ultra except clouds and AI at 30% when I use this tool

I've set it up that when I'm on the ground my LOD is 50 and then step it all the way up to 300 when at 5000 feet.  This gives me a rock solid 50 FPS to match my monitors refresh rate so that I can vsync it.

My tec is old, I have a 8700K @4.6khz  and a 1080ti at stock.  My monitor is only a 1080p hence why I can run the graphics so high but dang I'm happy with how it all runs now

It makes details in buildings looks a bit better, and I don't think it impact the CPU, I keep it at 200 as I see no performance gains to have it set at lower value.

That’s a question I haven’t seen the answer to. Curious to know.

Just remove the DynamicLOD Folder in %appdata% - that's it 😉

Removing any of the Auto-Start Options selected has do be done manually.

Thanks a lot!

Dumb question: is this something similar to the Dynamic FFTF utility we used to love in FSX and P3D?

Yes, But this one also modifies the Object LOD.

Then I understood correctly. Thank you very much!

Anyone knows if Running  MSFS through the xbox app is the same as "an administrator" or not?

Shouldnt this feature also be available in the Google Map Mod?
