February 23, 20251 yr My last few flights done today have had very poor detail on large buildings about 2 miles ahead when at low level in CAVOK conditions with good lighting, this seems to have coincided with my graphics settings being changed without my input, I think I have now reset to what I was using previously but this low detail building thing persists. Its as if its on a very low LOD setting but only affecting buildings (my LOD settings are same as previous -150 for both) Anyone else got this?, or is there some setting I dont know about?
February 23, 20251 yr This happens to me in both 2020 and 2024.

February 23, 20251 yr I noticed this with Seattle buildings yesterday. It looked like it had just randomly tossed texture files at the buildings. They were not even straight. Some were at a 45 degree angle with the windows climbing like stairs LOL Kerry W. GipeSavannah Georgia, USAUS FAA A&P / Commercial Pilot Multi Engine Land IFRYour talent is a gift from God.

Have you tried out the AutoFPS app? It crated a totally new MSFS experience for me. I believe it addresses what you are experiencing in a very direct sense.

I believe it addresses what you are experiencing in a very direct sense. Thanks for the suggestion but having read what AutoFPS is about I don't believe that would address this. I'm not chasing FPS or having a problem with low TLOD it just seems to be buildings I'm leaning towards thinking its simply an adjustment made server side in what data they choose to squirt out. This seems to be a constant problem with this game, with so much control of quality being server side. Hard to adjust for what quality you prefer if microsoft can change it to suit their load balancing.
February 24, 20251 yr 1 hour ago, Rusty Spanner said: what AutoFPS is about I don't believe that would address this Afps is more like keeping the same fps while also increasing detail /lod. Always giving you max available while not slowing the sim down in busy areas. You're also right in that it's the gfx themselves that are random and unreliable. I've just started avoiding built up areas that I'm familiar with as it's nowhere near 'as good as it gets'. Russell Gough SE London
