April 20, 20242 yr I have it on, performance is the same on or off for me. System: I ASRock X670E | AMD 7800X3D | 64Gb DDR5 6000 | RTX 4090 | 2TB NVMe | Seasonic Vertex 1000W I LG Ultra Gear 34 UW I
April 20, 20242 yr I'd rather turn it OFF for the mentioned reasons (better visuals), but unfortunately some iniBuilds airports (KJFK for example) become unusable like this (huge bumps in the runways). So I leave it on in order not to die on the rollout. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.
April 20, 20242 yr I had it ON always but recently I gave up on it, I do not like that look of deformed buildings Valentin Rusu AMD Ryzen 9950X3D OC, Asus RTX 5090 OC, DDR5 64GB @6000MHz, Samsung 9100 NVMe for MSFS2024
April 20, 20242 yr Always on for me. It's a mixed bag - some places are good, some bad, and also some times it's all good, others bad, but overall as I'm primarily using this (or any) sim as a world sim with the added benefit of planes to fly around in, it's a must have.

April 20, 20242 yr I am a low and slow VFR flyer (even though I fly the PMDG 737-600), and I have PG switched OFF. The next generation autogen is light years beyond anything that can be seen in P3D, and I think it looks excellent even at low altitudes (or from the ground). Whilst I would like to see specific landmark buildings in cities (and I do have a few city landmark addon packs to partly compensate for this), PG has too many problems for me to be comfortable with it. On a side note, I think that airport developers need to consider users who do not use PG. I have not seen any problems at the airports that I use, but I do not know if this is just pure luck, or because most developers take non PG users into account when they create their products. I would hope that it is the latter.

April 20, 20242 yr Most time I sit in front of my PC, not daring to switch it on, due to all the hackers and trojans and villains, oh, I am so scared … 🙂 Is nt PG just the highlight of MSFS? Without PG I can go back and fly on FSX - the flight model much better and less CTDs.

Exactly this.👍 I have it on all the time and when it works correctly it's fantastic, other times....approach into Heathrow, look down and yep, someone's taken a blowtorch to West London again....

April 20, 20242 yr i always have it on.

April 20, 20242 yr For a long time I was not a fan of photogrammetry, but it has improved, in quality and extent of coverage, to the point that I now have it on always. The difference in realism, especially in cities I am familiar with, e.g., New York, L.A., Chicago, London, and others, is enormous. The recent Southwest German Cities upgrade includes Heidelberg, which with PG on is mind-blowing! Turning off PG, for me, is like going back to FSX or FS9 when I fly in urban areas. And as I see little or no difference in performance, there is no advantage in turning it off. Edited April 20, 20242 yr by cobalt
