Yes, same for me: the thing that let me return to Bijan is the low density of trees with BBD, really not good to look at.

Talking about unidimensional focus without even knowing anything about whether or not I and others do enjoy the sim even though we find this issue immersion killing. Maybe step down from your horse and stop lecturing others? If YOU are not bothered by this issue, good for you. We are, so we express our anger about the devs being obviously unable to understand the point. End of the story.

Agree, this was embarrassing. Really, he had no clue what the question was all about. Which basically speaks for itself. Enough said...

Funny that this argument comes over and over again. Simple return question: why you dont use P3D or even FSX anymore then? You have equally good levels of simulation for addon planes in this sim, all perfect, no? I bet the reason is simple: visual quality. Even you, posting that one should concentrate rather on flying the plane mainly uses MSFS2024 for the visual level this sim provides, if you are honest. So no, your consideration helps nothing, it is just not your focus, fine, for us it is immersion killing. Same goes with this ridiculous group of simmers who continue to claim that visual quality is not relevant when flying tubeliners. Yet they all use MSFS2024. Why? Of course NOT because the visual quality of the sim, bah. I am at least honest with myself: I use MSFS2024 because it is the best looking sim. And yes, if visual quality is a thing, this landing gear culling ruins a lot. And yes, while I am taxiing to the runway, I do NOT need to concentrate on much else, taxiing a 777 does NOT use up all my intellectual resources, so I can look around, be amazed by the graphics of the virtual cockpit, of the airport scenery, of the details. And then I see those bloody AI planes floating around... and my enthusiam is ruined. Good for you if you can overlook such things, I cant. But of course, I am more tolerant in other aspects other simmers put their focus on. That is how it is. But I am also not running around in forums lecturing them that their focus is wrong and that they should do other things to not recognize the issue...

I doubt, because if I remember correctly, AIG did run tests with no LOD at all, meaning the planes are loaded in their full glory even at a very large distance, yet the culling of the landing gear was unaffected. Believe me, if it would be related to LOD, AIG or FSLTL would have presented a solution long time ago. It is not (only) related to LOD, that is why it is almost impossible to solve it for them. That is why Asobo shoud adress it... And no, the size of the AI aircraft can not be a factor, in my sim, the 737 and the A320 show completely different behaviour, they have almost the same size. And e.g. the 767 model I have is pretty bad and "loses" main and front gear at very close distance, while the E175/E195 planes are amogst those who at least have the main gear visible to a reasonable distance (but they do "lose" the front gear at close distance).

You are right. I now quickly went through 15-20 YT videos from 4y back or older, all showing AIG or FSLTL (or even default) AI traffic and all of them show the issue. Not a single video found without showing the issue, neither for MSFS2020 nor for 2024. That is how sometimes memories play tricks, no? BTW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ode0UxFL_A Above video proofs (once again) that also the default AI planes from Asobo suffer from the very same issue. You can see missing landing gear all over the place in this video. But what is puzzling (and always was) is that obviously not every model is affected identically, means at the same view distance and some models "loose" the front gear first and way before the main gear while other models "loose" all gear at once. So something is off (but that is no new thing...).

I guess you did the expected full driver cleanup after removing this nVIDIA card? I would even reconsider a brand new Windows installation after switching from nVIDIA to AMD, when I did that back in the days (going from a 1080Ti to a 6900XT), I never completely got rid of the issues until I reinstalled Windows from scratch. Takes time, but it was worth. Interestingly, I did not have the same issues when I was then later replacing the 6900XT with a 4080. Even now my 4090 is running on the same Windows installation I had when the 6900XT was still in... or no, incorrect, inbetween was the Windows 11 update, that also fixed a lot of things for me, because it was basically a new installation ;-)

Good question, I am in. I am still on IPS, because I do a considerable amount of office work per week on my monitor. As a matter of fact, I would love to have one of those novel mini-LED things, but sadly they are almost impossible to buy here in Switzerland. And OLED: not only due to the still unclear burn in state and the VRR flicker, I am not yet convinced.

That is what I feared... bummer. Agree, with those two options, I would also go for a RTX 2080Ti. Maybe another thought/idea to throw into the ring if you have a nearby reseller where you can get good 2nd hand video cards: RTX 4060Ti with 16GB VRAM. If you are lucky, you might get one with fits into your budget. Why I consider this an option? Because you will be able to run almost all current gen options like DLSS and Framegen with it, even multi frame gen using Optiscaler (very easy to set up) and if you wish, even DLSS5.

It is not. There should be no culling at all. A sim more than 20y ago did not have this issue, so nobody can tell that is has serious performance considerations behind. And I am pretty word not allowed sure (although I can not proof it anymore), that at a certain stage, MSFS2020 did not suffer from this and also 2024 had it less pronounced in earlier builds. Anyway, it seems that FSLTL and AIG are working on workarounds to get around this culling issue (something with fake geometry preventing the culling if I got the post right). Means: once again we are fully dependent on 3rd party solution. Perfectly fine for me in the end

Oh no, bad news for me, as this is one of the features I wanted to use regularly on the A380 and hoping that it will be included into v2 of the A350...

I am really pretty sure they simply do not get the point. Maybe they think we are complaining about the sometimes appearing LOD issues with AI planes, where e.g. the AIG planes then show as simple rectangular like models instead of the full LOD? Who knows, maybe Chewwy should have emphasized the culling issue instead of talking about LODs only? I do not know, it is just another example of how difficult it can be if the contact is only indirect via Ticketsystem and forum manager. Lost in translation is the other aspect. As I am capable of speaking french, I would love to sit once on a table with Seb and Martial for 30min, I could explain them a lot more directly. Such a exchange with the community in a direct manner might resolve some discrepancies pretty quick...

That is true, I am not that negative considering the MSFS2024 as full product taking into account ALL it can provide. It is my number one sim, I love it, flightsimming was never better and did never look better for me. But that doesnt mean everything is gold, no? Of course I can live with the missing AI landing gear, but it remains THE number one immersion killer for me when doing flights in and out of big hubs using AI traffic. Lets be honest: the sim looks like a photoreal rendition of the world, even more now with DLSS5, and yet there are such little bugs having such a huge impact. That is just... a shame? Nothing more or less...

Somebody already used the jump ahead feature? How is it?

Rather embarassing how obvious it gets when watching the vid that Seb has absolutely no clue what Chewwy is talking about in regard of the AI landing gear issue. How can that be, seriously... I do not have enough hands for the facepalm level this triggers...
