Brief description of the issue:

On Xbox Series S, since some recent updates, the LOD (Level of Detail) of cities, especially Paris, has been drastically reduced, particularly in aircraft equipped with Garmin avionics, which is most of them. I’ll leave a video from May 12th where the LOD was quite well implemented compared to a more recent video with the same aircraft, where the LOD looks significantly worse. I’ve checked, and it’s not related to my internet connection, as switching to any aircraft without Garmin avionics improves the LOD. Also, and this is just a subjective perception, the runway textures seem to have degraded with the constant updates.

Note: In the bad LOD video in the middler change the aircraft with non Garmin Avionics and LOD improved with this plane, the problem is in the Garmin Avionics Aircraft Thanks.

Hello there!
The (way too aggressive) memory management system (dynamic LOD) was introduced with the latest sim-update (SU15) and literally broke the sim on xbox! Even on SeriesX the game looks horrible! The only good thing about SU15 is that it completely cured my flightsim desire! I’m not interested in FS24!

However, aircraft equipped with Garmin Avionics have experienced a more significant degradation of LOD, suggesting that the Garmin system may require additional system resources after the update. Previously, the system worked well.
