Same here, I have a ‘modest ‘ set up… Ryzen 7, RX5700, 16Gb and yet places like New York and Tokyo are absolutely sublime at my usual 1440p resolution but London!! Oh my, it’s pretty bad no matter how many times I fly over it to let the scenery load in, something is not right somewhere
Hmm, detecting that the problem may well be bandwidth related - some okay others clearly not. Because of all the hype London is probably getting lots and lots of hits - even I have made a “special journey” to have a look and there were lots of aircraft buzzing about, far more than I’ve ever seen anywhere else. That surely must put a little strain on the servers?
Anyway, I’ve currently uninstalled my copy of the Orbx product and will wait to see what they come up with before deciding further. Meanwhile I think the rest of the UK is looking really good, to me looks much better.
Edit - there’s a post in the “What Have You Done Today” thread with some good benchmarking research. It would seem to ratify my opinion.
does not matter now, London is knackered for me since the update… WAY too many POIs etc crammed into it… my system no longer runs it in VR … was fine before the update
It’s not normal. New York and Tokyo were both looking far better before update 3 (haven’t checked them in detail since) than London currently is.
The reasons for London looking worse are either that the photogrammetry hasn’t been processed very well, or network issues are preventing the highest detail models being loaded in time to be displayed. Or a combination of the two.
It’s definitely not right.
I have been on other places and there the photogrammertly was oké.
I hope that Asobo do something about it in the next update, but i think that it will take a bit longer.
Are you sure about that - not wishing of course to question your sources. But I’m sure I’ve seen somewhere that having the Orbx London City pack installed along with the UK Update causes problems such as double images etc.
If true I’ll leave the photogrammetry on - was seriously thinking of turning it off but then I’d lose other places that work much better than London.
London is pretty much unflyable for me now, sadly. Turning PG off entirely returns me close to the performance I got before WU3.
Oddly, I tried a few other places and KLAX is also giving me poor performance. I didn’t try it without PG last time I was there. Nothing to do with the UK update, but perhaps something more in general with the new update.
According to the map there are loads of POIs outside London. In fact, this update added many more than the US update. And, as others have stated before, it’s not only about POIs. They also added new imagery, mesh, and procedural building types (eg churches). Of course it could always be more, but this has probably been the most comprehensive update so far.
Can’t tell you why, but after datamining this and other forums for the last week, I have seen a significant spike in CTD and login issues plaguing UK users. It appears users in NA are experiencing far fewer of the same problems. The %'s are becoming startling. It’s almost as though UK ISP’s are throttling you guys into submission. (just being cheeky, but there is a serious UK internet issue)
It is possible, but there seems to be some correlation to specific ISPs as well. (prefer not to specify as the evidence is purely anecdotal at this point)
