I have noticed that when I go to outside view on some planes, the interior is missing unless I zoom in real close. It seems to be an LOD problem, as I can go into Developer mode and force the LOD to 0 and the interior pops up.

In third party planes, like the 337, the interior is completely missing, in a default plane from 2020 (like the DA40 improvement mod), the interior is visible, but only at a low LOD level. Again, you have to zoom in to be next to the plane before the LOD doesn't reduce quality.

If this is an LOD reduction for better performance with 2024, it is much too aggressive, as going  into external view should not knock out the interior of the plane completely!

This just started happening to me after the latest update that was pushed out. Anybody else having this issue? Is there something in my settings I need to be looking at?

Having to go into Developer mode and force the LOD to 0 is not a workable solution.

Here are a few screenshots illustrating the problem with the JPL 152 mod, for example.

This is zoomed in even closer than the default external view. Interior model missing.

 

You have to zoom in to be on top of the airplane before the interior is visible:

Thanks for the solution. I had the same problem and fixed the problem using suggestion. I don't understand why Asobo does things like this.

I have additional information regarding this problem.

The reason why it was happening to my 2020 planes was because at the recommendation of another thread, to stop duplicates being generated in  content.xml, it was suggested to add the following tag to the manifest.xml file for the aircraft.

  "builder": "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024",
 

This does indeed stop duplicate entries from being generated in the content.xml file, but it also now flags the airplane as having been built with the 2024 SDK, and therefore subject to the new LOD system in 2024 which is more aggressive.

So, if the plane was built in 2020, the LOD will get messed up and not have the view distance it had in 2020, leading to the problem.

When I removed the "builder" tag from my 2020 planes, the problem went away. I can zoom out and the interior is visible now again.

I have exactly the same problem with MSFS 2024. 

It's interesting if I build DA62 SDK Sample project it works well

if I build my own project and use old model - I have problem with interior. LOD0 visible from exterior view only from close distance.... 

may be I need additional 'interior view for exterior model as it was in FSX of FS9?'..  Anyway LOD is too agresive.

The question is: content.xml manifest.xml 

I found only AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\content.xml and this file only contains name of the packages with tag 'Activated' like this:

<Package name="fs20-microsoft-world-point-of-interest" active="Activated"/>

where is manifest.xml  and how fix this problem?

Thanks,
