Where is this user config file?
Same problem here since last patch, ground texture looking very low detail at medium and high distance, and much lower internet traffic.

I have the MS store version only. Thanks!
Blurry textures and less online traffic.
Noticed the exact same thing since last patch. I should add that I also moved over from game pass to steam version so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Check if your anti-virus is blocking the simulator connection to the internet. Try to create an entry and exit exception on your firewall, maybe will work, check too if your windows doesn’t have any internet limitation activated. Hope this help you
Users/yourname/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator/ is the path for the User Config file in Steam.

Hi there, I am seeing all these beautiful screenshots posted, and am wondering why my sim looks so different. It seems like the in sim textures aren’t loading fully. I have the photogrammetry and Bing data features enabled, and have tried running the sim in Ultra and High detail modes. Other machine specs are as follows:
Ryzen 3950X
64GB 3600 Ram
RTX 2070 Super
Windows 10 v 2004
2TB NVME (FS2020 installed on this)
300MB/s Internet
I have seen some other users mention that turning the terrain LOD up to 200 fixed this problem, but doing this only seems to tank my FPS, but does not fix the blurry pixelated ground textures. I have also checked my data usage and after spending the evening flying several different locations I used only 86 megabytes of data. I did have the cache enabled previously, but disabled this while doing my trouble shooting. Looking at my resource monitor, it seems my network traffic does not even hit 1MB/s speeds.
Any idea what could be wrong with my rig and how I could go about fixing? I am running the Windows Store version of the sim.

LOD 200 also does not fix my awful blurry scenery and textures still load slowly…
Huge thanks for this!! I definitely see an increase in quality by raising that memory value. 1 looks like blurry ■■■■. 2-5 look better with no visible difference between them, 6 and up looks pretty ■■■■ good. Bumping it above 6 didn’t really make any visual difference to me.

Hi Bertro, which value did you change? I still have am fighting with the blurries.
Hi @Lowebowski. My reply was to this reply by @DeferredGull247 8 days ago: Ground texture - Low resolution - Internet incorrect Bandwidth
What he did there is use a program that can modify memory values of running programs (CheatEngine in this case) to find the value that sets terrain LOD and modify it on the fly above the 200 value possible in the settings. I used that earlier today and bumped that value up to 6 (which would mean a value of 600 in that settings slider) and it looked pretty decent.
Open ile, change Lod, savev ffile, open sim and reset to default lod 2.00000 again, cant change that value. always reset to 2.0000 after open sim. Any idea? Thanks
Make sure you set it as read only after saving
Can you, please, how this can be done?
Rightclick on the cfg. Properties then read only

I installed CHeat Engine and have chosen the running process of MSFS but what and where do I enter to get the specific line where i can change the value? It would be super if you could drop me a short explanation as I also struggle a lot with the textures.
Thank you!
