Thanks Jon - That started perfectly. Not sure what all the kerfuffle is about! 😄

It's really disrespectful to call people 'whiners' when they have genuine issues, but it is what I expect from the usual crowd that do it here at Avsim. They also over-use the word 'entitled' to turn it on people in a negative way. I would say paying customers are entitled to level criticism where it is due. And in a public forum, even people who haven't bought the product are entitled to comment about it. These people try to shut conversation down in these threads by throwing insults to make people feel bad. Seems to me they are the entitled ones by trying to force conversation away from a direction they don't want. Say what you want good people, and hold whatever opinions you want; don't let the zealots shut you down.

Come on Bill! You are that dizzy about your new toy that you are losing it. You can't have the COWS DA-42 at both number three and number six. 😀 I genuinely want to know what your other plane would be to make the numbers up.

Msfs2024 is now full of visual anomalies, but not many people seem to care that much.

It isn't just this LOD issue. The kludge you get when changing views from cockpit to outside and back again is terrible, and I think this is a LOD issue as well, as the cockpit gradually renders in (worse with steam gauges). This is worse to me that the landing gear issue, as I can turn traffic off, but not my cockpit! The SU6 release notes said they were attending to aggressive LOD culling. With SU6 and the update afterwards, I see no changes - just as bad. I just don't think they know what to do, or don't care as it has been done for the console crowd to give them better performance. I't alright though. I just respond in kind. I barely fly in the sim anymore due to the issues, and my marketplace purchases have dropped to zero. The 'other sim' and IL-2 Korea early access can keep me happy if MS / Asobo aren't bothered.

Mine - DLSS quality setting, 4k, 30fps to 60 with FG, all on highest settings except clouds on high. LODs at 200 each. The limit of my monitor is 4k, 60 fps, so I might as well run up to it. Instruments are nice and sharp at these native settings, but they are a bit blurry at 2k, even with lots of sharpening, maybe because its a 32 inch screen, so no 2k for me. No real problems losing frames or stuttering either at these settings, especially since Asobo's optimisations, and the PC runs cool and quiet. The only thing I don't like now is the LOD popping issues when changing views. I ran FSX / P3D at 4k , and I don't have to lower it for any other title, so please nobody tell me I need to nerf my settings to run MSFS! Plus this was all good before SU4 anyway. Still hoping they can tweak these LOD issues out. If I could go back to SU3 I would, it was perfect for me.

Your statement mirrors my position exactly. I couldn't have put it better.

@turbomax @ryanbatc Got it! Thanks to both of you.

Why would they do that? I thought there were calibration checks to ensure they are correct. In the UK the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) organises checks by specialist contractors to check all navigation equipment and lighting systems such as PAPI's. So what is the point if they don't coincide with each other and maybe give conflicting information?

Medium well? 😊 I find whatever setting I stick to, it just varies from day to day anyway (I suppose like it should do), but I do agree, going from medium to realistic seems to be quite a big jump.

They actually got a bit worse after the Kok left. Who would have expected that? Anyway, no, not a scam, just a really poor and untrustworthy developer now. They were alright during their FSX / P3D days. I loved their A320 series. But after the Twin Otter fiasco and their mean attitude, I have vowed not to buy anything ever again from them, and I am not doing to bad up to now.

This is exactly it Funky. And the evidence is all over youtube with videos from various content creators who even make reference to the issue. So it isn't just 'Bobcat's' computer or setup, as some would like to gaslight. However, we have the usual fanclub here who can't take any criticism of their favourite toy to the degree of denial and only responding with insults. And as for the same 'old tired arguments', well they might be, but actually they are sadly the same old tired TRUTHS that some people just can't tolerate. But its OK. It tends to come from same old tired anti-clever people who tend to reply with petulant snipes rather than wanting to improve the situation, so their views are worth nothing, apart from maybe having a laugh at them from time to time as they are so absurd. 😄

Yes, yet another regression caused by not including code from previous improvements. It is at the stage where the issues with quality control are just very sad now. They don't seem capable of learning.

Well, for the record, I think you are misunderstanding it, or you have picked up on something where someone has not described it very well. There is no delay in changing views, but the view is messed up for a split second straight afterwards. You have to wait for the cockpit to render properly or for the LODs to adjust or whatever. It looks a mess for a split second before then. It was fine until SU4, when they tried to 'optimise' a few things. 🙄
