MSFS 2024 has 4000x more geometry detail than MSFS 2020

Oy Vey.

  • Slow news day I guess, had to go back and pull up an article from September of 2024 from the pre-launch for this thread for 2020 users who don't realize the ground is more detailed...   Pretty sure ev

  • We can respectfully agree to disagree Bill.    This is simply one of those situations where we all need to share the same forum so calling out that 2020 users "don't realize" is just unnecessary.

  • This is out of order and rather unkind IMHO. Abrams did not post this information in any manner whatsoever to condescend 2020 users. It's clear he likes technical aspects of the sim and that's al

why can it not? lots of data is constantly being preloaded (around the players position bubble) for that very reason: avoid stutters. that's what is called optimisation. or JIT: just in time.

The pre cashing is problematic because the touch down position is not known in advance. In the air the polygon data flow would be continous and you would not even use it. After touch down the speed is typically decreasing (= smaller data flow) and the data is used for rendering and ground physic. So it is better to start data download when you need it.

I only used 2024 for a total of about 4 hours over the three times I installed it, but it to me it looked like it only had 3,000 times more geometry than 2020, so maybe my settings were wrong. I plan to try it again in about a year and maybe things will improve by then.

opposite is true. not when but BEFORE you need it. the flight model can know ahead of time when you are about to land. there is constant loading/removing and caching of data going on, data  that is required "probably very soon". using task manager's resource monitor you can check when MSFS is loading data.

very nice.
