I was hesitant to post as I was not sure what this thread was about. But now that it seems more plausible that it is actually about missing grass - then that’s something I’ve noticed recently. Can’t remember exactly when, but it seems at some stage grass got a much shorter draw distance. 

I’ve also noticed that airport objects seem to have changed (i.e. much shorter). 

I noticed far less grass too, a few days ago. Checked my settings, grass was on ultra. Forgot about it until I saw this thread.
