SU4 (1.6.32.0) - where is the LOD curve setting?

Featured Replies

Perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought there was a new LOD curve setting in SU4 graphics setting section that we could adjust to reduce object culling?  I'm unable to find any such setting?

  • The best way for this would be to set the screen size % on the LODs to show the further out. It’s totally possible and it’s just a balance of performance VS detail.    Basically all the develop

The new lod curve doesnt have a setting, its just how the LOD system works within the sim. Developers decide at what distance, which LOD shows. The way the engine handles it has changed. You can read about it in the SDK which is available online.

I think it is just an ON/OFF option in Developer Mode

There isn't and never has been one in SU4B too. 

It seems that it is hard coded...but I am not familiar how to check or proof anything like that. 

The culling is still a matter of fact. 

Cheers Rob and happy flying anyway!

Wait so they are back at popping planes from less than 8nm ?    I thought that they increased the distance at whcih we can see other planes. In SU3 it looked like they set it to MSFS20 distance which was about 25nm -> from this distance I was able to see the planes around me when in cruise and when at the gate.     But I remember at the start of MSFS24 it was like 8nm.

Hi Marcus, how ya doing buddy?  

Unfortunately the AIG models have same issue with landing gear culling.  

I guess I need to make a choice, air carrier inaccuracy but get landing gear with FS Traffic OR gearless AIG models but very accurate with LiveTraffic data.

I'm fine. Thanks Rob. How are you? Are you enjoying MSFS2024 now?

I use FSLTL base and injector, with FSTRAFFIC models as fallback. So far fine, sometimes strange traffic behavior on taxi routes (Models turning 360s etc).

Good and yes … just wish I had more free time.

PSXT + LiveTraffic is extremely accurate provided the carriers exist which AIG does an excellent job at providing the models.

I’ll have to investigate and see if there are any options for me to do some sort of BATCH LOD processing on the models … I haven’t really spent any time investigating the models in AIG so have no idea what may or may not be modified.

I'd pay money for an updated set just so we can have landing gears back.  It's such an immersion killer.  Like I'm flying down to the T a procedure through a beautifully lit storm into a photorealistic airport, beautiful scenery, grease a landing, everything just looks astonishing, in an aircraft that's got more tech behind it than entire simulators of the past.  I vacate of the runway.  And there's a bloody 777 floating in the air.  

So this is an issue with the AIG models that needs to be fixed by them? Noting FSTraffic appears to not suffer the issue...

I'm not sure.  I've had dreadful trouble with FSLTL and JustFlight FSTraffic.  Others have reported different.

It's all a bit Vatsim specific for now.  I have no intention of ever using Vatsim.  But good for them they seem to be getting a workaround sorted.  

This topic is not about the vatsim issue, its just they started to discuss it in the thread. The topic is all about the gear culling Lod issues.
