Default ground scenery worse than FS2020

This seems to conflate the models on the ground vs the models in the air; they are two completely different things. If you’re on the ground, the new treers are great. From 1000 feet up, the trees are completely different and even worse than they were in 2020. If you disagree, post some screenshots showing the improvement in trees from 2020 to 2024 at 1000+ feet and some indication of where it is taken from; I’d be delighted to take a look and try to see the improvements for myself.

Doesn’t like look any alpine countryside I’ve ever flown over, even in summer, nor the countryside in that exact area that I visited last summer.

Really? These trees look great from above and they cast better shadows than they ever did in 2020.

could be, part of my problem is that the ground is always blurry, even after giving it time to load
and regarding the trees i agree they look better when sitting on the ground, but from the air i prefer the old ones, this ones are way too big, there’s way too much of them and the tree areas stop suddenly, in 2020 the trees kind of faded out, if im making any sense at all… in 2024 they just stop in a clean cut.. looks strange

The trees in the first image look okay; not convinced by the ones in the second image, but in both cases that’s contextual on the landscape, which is why you need the direct comparison with the same area in 2020 to make the case for improvement or even staying the same. When I’ve looked at the same area in both, the trees look worse to me in almost all cases.

Germany’s new forest through the seasons. Looks pretty spectacular from up above and down below. I’ll stick with the 2024 trees.

There’s definitely serious server issues and also caching problems. I just flew out of Mollis in Switzerland over the same area of the Alps I flew this morning and the whole thing was a blocky mess. There’s a lot that still needs to get fixed.

Everything looks like a beta product. Not even beta but alpha. There are many issues with the scenery that needs fixes and that alone will take months maybe years…

i get that they look better from ground level but i dont really do ground level
this is what i mean, in 2020 they blend better with the scene, in 2024 they look like they were just thrown in there, specially in that small hill right ahead

There’s definitely an issue with the density of them. I’ve noticed that in most places I was familiar with flying in 2020. There’s trees now where there never used to be. I also really wish they’d fixed the trees at altitude issue that plagued 2020 and is still present in 2024. Its like they didn’t even look at these issues that lots of people have complained about.

Server problem. All components of the simulator are located on servers, and access is done from there. Servers are not fast enough, or there are not enough servers, so the texture and much more are not loading properly. Therefore, the texture is blurry, the visual quality is poor.

For me, low resolution Bing maps problem.
But each his opinions.
