[BUG LOGGED] Mountains/coastlines constantly morphing since the USA/UK/Nordics World Updates

Is it also normal that when im on the World Map and zoom in and out that it is stuttering?

I’m also getting that stuttering, so I’d say it’s normal.

I guess theres no option where it auto sets the LOD for big cities for example to 100, and outside to 300?

Unfortunately there are still no options for automatic LOD, or separate LOD sliders. Make sure to upvote the following Wishlist requests:

Dynamic LOD by altitude/flight level

Dynamic LOD tool, like X-Plane. Higher flight level lod could be a lot more than 200 for high-end systems. At approach LOD could be little lower.

Advanced LOD slider

It seems Asobo are trying the get the right balance between looks and performance when it comes to draw distance of objects and high resolution ground textures. Currently the maximum LOD range is too small and doesn’t allow people with high end machines to really enjoy the sim at its maximum potential. People should be able to max out their LOD to the horizon and beyond!

Separate terrain level of detail / draw distance sliders

To my knowledge currently bing data textures (satellite data) is linked to the detail of the terrain. having it at 100 is showing blurry ground textures while 200 is very nice and sharp. but the slider is also linked to draw distance which drops performance hard. can’t we just seperate the two and make 2 sliders instead? or make draw distance a selectable of low medium high ultra ? EDIT: this way the ground texture will look clean and sharp while having less of a performance impact that co…

because in AC Valhalla for example I get drops to 10 every 2 minutes for no apparant reason.

I believe that game is notorious for running terribly on NVIDIA GPUs, even to this day. Do you get stuttering and other issues in different games?

And just flew into the Alps and with Terrain LOD 360, still the Mountains are morphing.

Completely normal, especially in the Alps and other mountainous areas with high-resolution mesh (like Mount Rainier). Even LOD 1000 cannot help in these situations. Make sure to check out the videos I’ve previously posted in this thread for a few other examples. To this day, we are still waiting for a solution that will hopefully tackle the morphing across the globe.
