Those on the developer program with MS/Asobo are just as infuriated because it makes their aircraft look ridiculous and the add-on developers are stuck handling the support emails/posts. But don't hold your breath for fix, the culling issue will NOT be fixed primarily because it would have to be fixed for consoles also which don't have sufficient video memory and processing power to render all these little objects. MS/Asobo would get trapped in the "why does it look better on a PC than my XBOX/PS5". This culling issue is "by design" hence why it's being ignored by MS/Asobo. I do keep checking back with each SU, but we're on SU7 now so I think the writing is on the wall.

And still not going to fix the culling of objects (missing landing gear and other issues): Microsoft Flight Simulator ForumsToo strict LOD rule on Aircraft landing gears! (Culling o...Su7 😔Oh well, back to XP12.4.4 Beta ...

Strongly disagree with that, they've done plenty of harm thru-out history all the way up to today. If these religions are supposed to be providing "comfort", then why are so many religious people so angry? Can't really go any further with specific evidence and details because that will get my post removed or this thread closed. I'd be ecstatic if religions stayed out of politics and my business, but they are on a mission and that's a problem.

Belief is a distraction which may or may not involve religion. Either way, operating of a belief is like gambling and comes with risk. Being able to say "I don't know" to existential questions is where true "comfort" is found. Being able to say "I don't understand" is a path to discovery. The methodology that approaches answers/solution using as little "Belief" as possible has a much improved chance of success. I would question any human construct that "needs" believers. It's the process of discovery that's important not the belief. I'm a humanist, my interest is in the survival of the human race and hope we're not just another virus that evolves to the point where it kills it's host (that planet and itself). We certainly have the intellectual capacity but it takes more than just a few to beat the Fermi paradox.

So "acceptance" for you ... good grief ... if only it was just the one issue of culling of landing gear ... and not all the other culled objects like cars, road traffic, well just about anything within normal visible range gets chopped because of user mediocrity and acceptance ... those nice shiny bits. If I wanted a limited range 3D shooter world, I'd buy a 3D shooter, but this is flight simulation (or gaming) where distances are significantly further than a 3D shooter. And yes MSFS 2024 has some nice shiny bits, but all that does is make it more obvious a problem when those shiny bits suddenly go missing because of an FPS obsession. I can post at least 1000+ videos of other obvious visual issues, logic issues, bizarre interaction issues that I use my "blind eye" to ignore ... from cracks in the world while taxi, cracks that prevent aircraft movement or jumping 200 ft into the air, to black cracks in the oceans/rivers, to waterfalls in ocean, to cardboard cutout bridges, to aircraft doing wheelies on push back, to mountains that appear in the ocean that don't actually exist and when one gets closer they magically disappear ... not even gonna start on all the other visual issues around DLSS and frame-gen as I turned all that FPS compromising garbage off because visuals matter. Now I know you've seen all these issues, everyone has ... pretending they don't exist doesn't make them go away. After a while the 1, 10, 20, 100, 1000 visual issues build a bubble of visual warts that one can't un-see or continue to ignore. This isn't just "one" issue, it's a combination of MANY. Most of these visual issues could be resolved relatively easily if Asobo would stop the insanity of chasing FPS and allow for lower FPS with increased visual fidelity and correct their world data. And yes, I check back into MSFS 2024 after each SU and/or hotfix to see if anything significant has been addressed ... nope, still just all around the hedge trimming work and nothing at the core renderer. Who knows, maybe if we see DLSS 5 support in MSFS 2024, I'll at least get landing gear back even if DLSS 5 converts a 737 to a 777 ... but that's unlikely to happen because DLSS 5 requires two 5090's and 6X Frame-Gen to get FPS obsessed performance ... and I'd assume a PS5 or XBOX would melt with DLSS 5. You haven't really addressed the issue "offline mode support" and resort to diversion as a means of acceptance. Does that really work for you? Does it make a better game/simulator?

Wow, the acceptance of a reliance ... CEO's love you folks ... lets change the terms at a whim, they're hooked. A more rational and positive response to this reliance (regardless of it's frequency and/or other factors that might impact users such as their ISP is down and/or the many other issues around connectivity) would be "Asobo, we would like an offline mode" (yes you lose PG mode and suffer the AG approach but you can still fly and enjoy) ... but because so many of you here seem conditioned to "that's how it must be" you don't look outside the box and just accept mediocrity and even pay for it.

MSFS Addons[UPDATED] XBOX is Down! So you know you cannot fly Micros...It's that moment when you kind of miss having to install FSX from a couple of CD-ROMs...The unfortunate reality of being tether to servers with no offline option. XP12 and P3D working just fine today ;)

Great video, I think a better observation is how insignificant do we want to be … we could be very significant if we just could get over ourselves and focus on what’s important (tall ordered and we seem to be going in the opposite direction).

Since your sig says nVidia 5090, try using nVidia AI HDR. Turn off HDR in MSFS 2024. Turn ON HDR in Windows. Disable Auto HDR in Windows. In nVidia control panel, graphics, find MSFS 2024, set RTX HDR to On. FPS impact is very very minimal. Results are better and can compensate a little for the MSFS 2024 issues. BUT, important, MSFS 2024 does NOT actually have HDR texture assets … soooo … but nVidia’s fake AI HDR does a better job that MSFS 2024 fake HDR. Honestly, no idea why MSFS/Asobo to include HDR without having actual HDR textures.

High MP shots, some cropping but still plenty of zoom in to image quality.

Yeah, most "normal" users would be out too after 6 years of ignoring a bug, the MS rep lying about the bug, or when one fires up MFS 2002 and sees landing gear on all AI aircraft ... unless of course one is visually impaired then I can understand. But I'm NOT out of the hobby nor flight, I'm out of MSFS 2024 until the culling issue is addressed ... I'm not afraid of lower FPS. Selling of FS gear was a bit-o-tongue and check ... although it seems my order of the Hoowalt Tiller is fictional ... some 2 months later and they keep telling me "next week it will ship" ... I sure hope my pre-order of the VF Yoke Neo FFB isn't also more vaporware. Just a top tip ... my gear works in other flight simulators ;) Believe it or not, there is a flight simulator world outside of MSFS.

Bummer, I guess this grumpy old man will have to toss in the towel with Asobo, still no fix for culling of objects (aircraft wheels, wings, etc.). Impressive list, but absolutely nothing on my important to fix list. I guess it’s time for me to give up hope and move on to other hobbies. Selling a bunch WinCtrl, Thrustmaster, Rowsfire hardware if anyone is interested (cheap, PM me).

Sometimes I like to park the 737 and do some casual GA and was look for something that would fit nicely next to (or under) my other gear: Desktop PilotTPM Pro Throttle QuadrantDesktop Pilot's TPM vernier throttle box allows for precise adjustments just like in real aircraft and offers the most realistic simulation experience.Seems very accurate to real world. Thoughts? Worth the $600 US? Rob.

Yes, but security updates (ESU) for Windows 10 ends Oct 2027 so I would recommend moving to Windows 11. The downside to PIN/TPM approach is that it’s tied to the hardware on your device, so if you have other devices that don’t have physical TPM (like say Apple … they have a different approach) which is what makes the “online” password services more attractive, but they are targets and the odds to compromise increase for anything online.

No wonder Asobo get confused, or maybe that's your intent. NO, it's a problem for ALL AI traffic (3rd party or MSFS default) and IS visible even in MSFS 2024 Intro video. In fact, someone else posted a video saying the problem doesn't exists and then we showed them exactly where the problem existed in their own video ... and because they didn't notice (blind, bad vision, just not paying attention) it therefore isn't important ... seems like Asobo ran with it ... oh joy!
