The benefits of the terrain resolution increase

Featured Replies

MSFS 2024 is becoming more stable each day. I am still seeing some streaming issues on some flights, but overall it is a joy to use.

The increased terrain resolution is perhaps the biggest upgrade from 2020.  any land area big enough could be landed on, but 2024 has changed that.  I picked a random river in New Zealand to show the increased resolution which demonstrates you can't land anywhere 😁 The new trees, seasons, cliff faces, rocks etc are also great updates.

* I had an addon running that caused some stutters, but without that running the sim is smooth.

  • The 3D trees alone is such a wonderful transformation down at ground level

    Indeed! I was amazed by this mountain in the Alps yesterday. What an improvement over 2020!

  • I’ve been doing some illegal flying hopping over hedges and scooting low over corn fields , the sense of speed low level in VR is just fantastic.

That looks exceptional if you ask me.

Are those default FALL trees in FS 2024, or from one of the addons?

NZQN - Queenstown.  Depart runway 05 then turn left over the river bed.

Looks really nice. Still some LOD popping though.

Do the size of the tires matter? If your aircraft has Alaska Bush tires it should handle rough surface better.

Why does NZ have fall-colored vegetation? It's springtime down there ...

Apparently they've modelled the whole world as a common-season-region

I believe there is a bug where the seasons are being applied globally without consideration for northern vs southern hemispheres?

I think the seasonal biomes have some issues or inconsistencies in how they are applied. I did a flight yesterday from KELM to KDTW. It’s a 300 mile flight almost due west - as the two airports are almost the same latitude. The hillsides in KELM were indeed covered with late fall/early winter trees. When I arrived at Detroit, the trees were all green. It was overcast the whole way so I did not see when or where there was a change in vegetation enroute.

That does look stunning!

Is that the Optica you're flying? That might bey. favorite "sightseeing" airplane in MSFS 2024.

🤦

That does look epic and certainly does what MSFS24 can look like, hope they fix the seasons issue though #sigh

That looks like a fun area to fly nice and slow. The streaming has improved drastically for me as well and I'm enjoying the sim now.

Amazing.  Unfortunately my sim is just a low resolution mush at the moment.
