Did you file bugs about this? We need everyone to do so
Sorry if you donāt see what you need to see. I donāt care about colors. I care about texture sharpness and LOD. Look at texture sharpness. MSFS 2020 has pin sharp textures, MSFS 2024 is blurry, spotty, pixelated.

I was getting great LOD last night after the patch. Not texturesā¦ but LOD. Distant mountains has much more detail. Has anyone else noticed something similar? I need to test more to even be sure on my end it is working better but my initial look was good.
Still seems like Ultra textures are basically the same as High resolution textures.

If distant mountains have more details then we ARE talking about textures. Mountains in āthe distanceā are outside the tlod400 draw distance (trees, rocks), so what else would those details be?
Not always.
I am talking more about geometry data and mesh. The type of distant mountain detail a high Terrain LOD tends to govern.
You are just going to have to take my word that TLOD is not primarily a texture resolution slider. Or test it for yourself. TLOD settings determine how far from your plane you get detailed terrain geometry meshes, photogrammetry, and trees. LOD settings are adjustable within the sim. Texture setting changes require a restart. Different beasts, but both play a role in making distant things look sharp and clear.
No, I know that. It affects mesh complexity. Which can be verified easily. But the first thing thatās obvious in the distance is not the mesh but the texture resolution. At least for meā¦

The texture sharpness and quality are not good. See my pictures. Iām starting to think people have problems with their eyes.

Clearly, I was making an observation based on my own experience rather than speaking on your behalf. And I was asking if anyone else could confirm my preliminary findings.
It was a LOD related question.
In my experience the ultra resolution textures still look like they are below ultra resolution. That is most likely a different bugaboo.
I would also argue that most of us have troubles accepting the resolution,not the terrain meshā¦

I mean, I just asked a question about terrain mesh and got two answers about texture resolution!
Yeah you are right. I just recalled that lod DOES affect the mesh but as stated above: I would argue that most users have a problem with distant terrain resolution, not with distant terrain mesh complexity.
Besides I DID acknowledge that its also about the mesh
You see me all over those threads. Texture resolution IS a problem. I know the issue very well.
I just cannot fathom why you keep making that point to me when I asked the thread a question about LOD after the patch, because unlike textures, I may see improved TLOD mountain meshes in the distance after the patch.
I didnāt ask about textures. It is self evident ultra textures are still less detailed in 2024 than in 2020.
I agree in principle but In 2024 the TLOD 100% impacts the texture as well, intentional or not
Turn it to 50 and watch how blurry they become
I also had a similar experience and wasnāt sure if it was real or not. I did feel like the mesh was a lot more detailed than the days before and at farther distances. Textures are the same. Some places are ok/blurry, some places are better. Overall, and as a jetliner simmer, MSFS 2020 still has better texture quality than MSFS 2024.

Okay, right. I was a bit too quickly in my reaction. Sorry, I just jumped on the texture thing (wich you did t even touch 
)

I would rather you turn it to 400 and tell me if you still see that distant low TLOD blur that was present so often before the patch, as in my preliminary testing last night, it was no longer an issue for me. But I need to test more, and I was wondering if others could confirm or deny my preliminary testing results based on their own experiences. I have not had the time to fly many places to test this all by myself. Just enough evidence to give me a little hope and to reach out to the thread to ask others.
I for myself started the Sim tonight and thought that it might have changed for the better but at this point I am not even sure about what to believeā¦

We in these forums can be bad influences causing folks to dwell on issues they might otherwise never dwell on. 
I donāt know tbh.
Iām just fed up with these sims underperforming since FS95ā¦
when each new iteration is marketed as being finally the one that takes advantage of next gen hardware ā¦
There is WAY too much pop in happening in fs24. My settings are in the ultra preset. Everything just spawns in too close to the player.
