I am thinking that should read 'frame rate cap is ignored during initial boot'. If mine was set to 30 FPS (where I want it) and takes ages to load. If it was set it to 60 FPS or unlimited, it absolutely zoomed through the loading at start up. Hopefully this fix will cure that.

Well it is visible on youtube as well, although some content makers are editing video fades in between swapping views now to remove the issue. It is also dependent on what aircraft and resolution you use for sure. You seem to have the secret sauce Fielder, so if you could bottle it and sell it that would be good! 😁

But are you swapping views from inside to outside and then back? Swapping views internally doesn't trigger the issue.

It is not. Many of us have tried lots of things, including fully downloading. That doesn't work and I have spent hours chasing my tail trying to fix it. No more - it is just a waste of time. Why it can't be fixed is because it is something inherent in the sim now due to Asobo's 'performance adjustments'. Still, the xbox kids have 100 fps now, so there we are. It never happened before the SU4 'optimisations'. SU3 was the best version of the sim I had, and performance was fine for me with a mediocre PC. It doesn't bother some people. These tend to be the people who think is it also alright to see traffic with disappearing gear within a short radius as well in this modern cutting edge simulator. While I check each update occasionally in hope of a fix, I am at the stage where I really don't care much any more, especially if other simmers and MS / Asobo don't care about it. There are other enjoyable things to do in life.

I don't anymore. The sim has lost quality since SU3 without a doubt. Some say it doesn't bother them. They are the perfect customers. I bet I could get defective products from my company out of the bin and sell them to them and they wouldn't complain. Money wise it would be like taking candy from a baby! 😄 On a more serious note. These people don't help matters as Asobo will do nothing about it with their attitude. I have never known another sim with so many of these graphical issues. There is currently much better out there, and that is where my time and money resides now. I am much happier. I just regret having invested so much into MSFS to then have the rug pulled. But hey-ho, once bitten twice shy.

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?
