That does look like a regression of some sort. Texture or like antialiasing got turned off.
Folks on Series X should be able to reproduce if that is a universal regression.
We should have more photos and video soon. People donāt sleep on issues like these.
Go make some, when you have the timeš

Flying from Gatwick to Naples right now lod/textures look fine but I think almost looks dull maybe not as sharp/grainy.
Do you think the āaverage Joeā will even notice it?
Some people on this forum do, obviously, but those arenāt necessarily the average Xbox customers who just take a flight now and then.
Beta testers look for these things in hopes an average Joe wonāt have to.

Off this particular topic potentially then, but if so many of the complaints here arenāt lod but textures, isnāt the huge elephant in the room persistently poor server quality over multiple days?
The slow server answer sometimes (and Iām sure itās not always intended that way) a sort of cāest la vie, to be expected, āmust have been a busy day of playersā sort of explanation? If thatās the case it feels somewhat lacking.
It could be a server issue, or it could be a drop in texture quality. Texture issues are tricky to initially islolate because they could be server related, but they arenāt always.
After initial testing I am seeing the type of mid/near distance 3D pop in to lead me to believe the LOD issue is back.
And textures do seem more blurry.
I need to spend more time testing but I am all but convinced the LOD/Texture issues from SU11 are back in this current beta build.
Edit: Others canāt reproduce this issue and when I flew later it was better but not perfect. I am suspecting a lot of us were impacted today by slow servers but I am only guessing at this point. Anyway, LOD rollbacks should impact everyone in the beta.

I can also confirm that there likely is some LOD issue having tried it out on Series X, though not as severe as in the production release. Seeing more pop in and runways in particular are lower resolution at high altitude. Hopefully it can be fixed in the next beta update.

That sadā¦ I canāt test the beta because Iām only on Xcloud, so I always come to the forum to follow the guysā reports and news like this on the eve of the final version, after these months with LOD problems in the stable version, the sadness strikes. I hope itās nothing more and it gets resolved.

Unfortunately, I can also confirm this problem. There is a sharp drop in texture quality (especially grassy terrain, runways, taxiways) that becomes apparent at 3500-4000 feet altitude.

Yes there is indeed a lower texture quality at airports like others said grass textures,runways,taxiways. I know itās a bug but balance was perfect before latest build is it not as simple just to roll the build back to previous version?

I canāt recall them ever rolling back a patch in beta.

Is this really only happening around airports, or other areas as well?
My major issues were not at airports.
We have a lot of odd issues and some people unable to reproduce.

Comes down to the old saying donāt fix it if itās not broken.
