Draw distance on Xbox has been significantly curtailed


ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

As mentioned in the feedback thread:

Something does seem to be somewhat amiss with this first beta on Xbox Series X.

To echo what others have said, the draw distance appears to be significantly reduced. It’s so dramatic that it feels like something more than the usual variation you might expect between different updates.

However, as we’ve been reminded many times - these betas are not ‘early access’ and shouldn’t be treated as such. No reason to think at this early stage that this won’t be fixed.

Did you experience this issue before you joined the Beta?

Not really - the original release version suffered from poor draw distance. However this seems quite significantly worse.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

NA - Xbox

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Every time on sim load

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Load aircraft - whether this is a small propeller plane or a large jet makes litle difference
  2. Observe draw distance - trees, and especially buildings, not loading in until the aircraft is virtually overhead.

YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.
