Because of this, the devs got the impression they fixed it

I don't think that's the case. You see from MS's perspective, it's not a bug. They have configured the sim in this way, to increase performance.  Now we don't agree with that and we may not like it but that's how it's happened.  

Like many people, I have no idea why @SeedyL posted here that the issue had been "fixed". Personally, I think he may have been mixing this issue with something else.  

With all due respect to SeedyL, he's a Community Manager, not a developer.

To have this changed, MS need to be convinced that a large body of the user base aren't happy with the current LODs for these objects.   I think that is most likely happening now.

I don't see evidence that anyone at MS is looking at AVSIM, concluding that - because some users have said they don't see it - the complaint is resolved.

Can you give a link to that? I can't find it. 

I spent about 40 minutes reading a long thread about this a couple of weeks ago. I haven't looked recently and like you, having just searched for it I can't find it!

I am also referring to posts from SayAgain where he has said that he's posted about this issue at length, including screenshots and videos.   Unless he's passed those to MS via Zendesk.  He was very clear and mentioned a number of times that he's posted at length about this to MS. 😊

But yes... I can't locate a thread about it, as of today.

Why? You're essentially upset by other people's opinions? That other people might not agree with you?

 

 

The next who is unable to see the difference between the statement «I have no AI landing gear bug» (factual wrong statement) vs «I am not bothered by this» (the opinion you are talking about). I have no issues with opinion, but turning it into a «fact» is just plain wrong. And this happened here several times, people claimed they have no landing gear bug and even their proof showed it instantly...

Since when has eye-candy becomes such an important topic?

Start simming and enjoy life.

Is this a serious question?

So you still use FS9 because eyecandy is irrelevant to you? Good for you...

When I see hardcore simmers highjack a thread to discuss eye- candy it concerns me.

Hijack? and "hardcore simmers"? So you're a concerned "hardcore" simmer? 

😄🤣

MSFS2024, 90% of its premise is eye candy. I mean it has pebbles. Most of it's add-ons are eye candy. I mean, without its eye candy what would we have? P3D/FSX... turn the eye candy off and see for yourself, assuming of course you fly with it on, what with you being a "hardcore" simmer.

For a good portion of the life of this forum, eye-candy was firmly dismissed by many as a sop for gamers, Xbox kids etc.

Usually statements followed along the lines of something like "I'm too busy flying the plane to be looking out the windows". Or alternately, something like "At 30,000 feet its all the same....."

In fact, blaming any perceived regression of any sort within the sim is now routinely accredited to the Asobo/Microsoft being too concerned about the Xbox crowd etc.

How many have said they are sticking with MSFS2020 because they find eye candy meaningless in the face of perceived performance and other losses?

Meanwhile another groups of players find the memory optimizations, elimination of memory problems etc, more than worthy of the price of entry.

Such is Avsim.

Ignore

Ahh! Thanks 😎

@St Mawgan - ^^^  That's the thread I was referring to.

It's still not worth getting upset about, IMHO.

Let them deny that they see the issue.  It doesn't really matter.  Some people claiming it doesn't happen for them will not be the dealbreaker as to whenther MS decide to change this or not 👍

Doesn't need to be on the first real go.
Played around with it already for a while but yesterday when entering the cockpit my TrackIR wasn't working although I had a green detection light and a blue sim connection light.
At the same time I was greeted with a message that I had to center my headtracking which didn't work.
Went into the settings only to discover that my TrackIR was detected as a Tobi.
Only way out was quit to desktop and restart the sim. Then TrackIR was TrackIR again and it worked.

Update on this:
I now have permanently Tobi2 as name for my headtracker instead of TrackIR. It also shows a picture of a Tobi instead of a TrackIR. But unlike before where my TrackIR didn't work when MSFS 2024 detected it as a Tobi, it now does work.
Secondly, this morning I wanted to change one little thing on my Thrustmaster Warthog only to find out that it would give a wrong device each time I used the search input to see if it worked as intended. Then i noticed that it also shows a Tobi headtracker as device picture but the name is stil Thrustmaster Combined. Something is messed up.
