February 17Feb 17 I am curious to know what percentage of AVSIM members prefer to fly with photogrammetry disabled in MSFS 2024. Feel free to state your reasons why you use one option or the other. Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
February 17Feb 17 Voted. Delete „usually“ for me. Always off. Not needed to fly my tubeliners, too much impact on fps for my system and after all not good looking (enough). I prefer a nice 3rd party airport instead. My 2 cents since you asked 🙂 Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
February 17Feb 17 It depends but generally on. As usual, it's all about the quality of the data. dd Edited February 17Feb 17 by Sky_Pilot071
February 17Feb 17 Always on. Not always happy with it, but most of the time. Ryzen 9 7900X, Corsair H150 AIO cooler, 64 Gb DDR5, Asus X670E Hero m/b, 3090ti, 13Tb NVMe, 8Tb SSD, 16Tb HD, 55" Philips 4k HDR monitor, EVGA 1600w ps, all in Corsair 7000D airflow case. Sims in use - 2020, 2024, XP-12 and -11, FSX/SE, P3Dv4.5 and v5.4. DCS and AFS2 installed but rarely used
February 17Feb 17 I think we had one of these polls before and overwhelming majority were PG enabled. Disabling PG is sorted like going back to P3D/FSX Autogen and mostly done due to those suffering server or bandwidth latency issues. PG biggest visual issues for me are: 1. Cut-out wall bridges (surprised 3rd party haven’t done a global bridge update yet … or have they?) 2. Monolith style trees that look more like a slabs of rock. I know AI can do a better job from higher resolution imagery than what’s being presented in MSFS 2024 … maybe that’s going into MSFS 2028? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. - Carl Sagan
February 17Feb 17 Always on. I like seeing the world as close to accurately as possible. The known issues are, as far as I'm concerned, just one of those things that will improve w/ time, like all technology, and in the meantime my imagination can suspend disbelief and fill in gaps, just as it could w/ technology 30+ years ago.
February 17Feb 17 Please explain what difference it makes? Not sure what the point of your survey is.
February 17Feb 17 For me, PG is always off, and rarely on, but I’m a nature and terrain type sightseer than metropolis (in both my virtual world and in the RW). In my 3 visits to Denver, I’ve seen the Rockies much more closely than the mile-high city itself…🙂… (Chris: It appears you and I are in the minority. Anyway, my vote, at least, bumped up the (losing) statistic from 15% to 18%.)
February 17Feb 17 Disabled. Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
February 17Feb 17 Disabled for me. No need to have PG ON when flying airliners. MSI GeForce RTX 2080Ti Gaming X Trio 11 GB GDDR6 | Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6Ghz | Kingston HyperX Fury Black 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz PC-25600 (2x16GB) | Asus Rog Strix Z390-E Gaming | BenQ EX3501R 35" Curved Ultrawide Monitor 100 Hz (3440×1440)

I might try it off at night now that we dont need to quit MS24 after switching the slider. Michael Moe Michael Moe

I can’t see any reason to do so I was just going to point out that thread. Chris may be able present some tangible evidence to iniBuilds that e.g., their EGLL London Heathrow scenery appears messed up for PG-disabled users. It’s a fair point for someone who knows the area well. However, whether iniBuilds does (or can do) something about it, is another matter. Edited February 17Feb 17 by P_7878
February 17Feb 17 I flew the H500c around Christchurch NZ and decided to give photogrammetry another try. The buildings looked melted and it looked terrible. Turned it off and it looked great. No photogrammetry for me.
