Ground textures are blurry, LOD System is too aggressive, and Loss of Detail in 2024 - streamed scenery looks worse than 2020

Nope, not in the CFG file…So not tunable for now

It’s a very disturbing sight. Bushes and grassy areas appear out of nowhere, “jumping up”. I won’t comment, it’s all a joke.

Yeah that’s terrible. What grass/plant setting is that?

All settings are Ultra.

I also have been noticing the rampant pop-in problem with bushes/grass but also very noticeable with airplane traffic on the ground. It seems like there is no way to configure the settings to create a low number of planes but with a large draw distance.

I’m surprised the development team didn’t notice this? I’ve never seen anything like this in any simulator.

I’m really bothered by the sudden trees, bushes, and grass that pop up and pop out. Visibility needs to be increased. It needs to be expanded so that they can be seen from further away. It’s horrible.

Oh I absolutely agree. The textures are not nearly as sharp as they are in MSFS 2020. No doubt. I am just wondering if even that is related to servers and how much data they are willing to release at this time. We have had this issue in MSFS 2020 when sometimes the ground textures are not as sharp as they are at other times. Higher texture resolution is more data at the end. I really hope whatever it is, it gets fixed. Like you said in some areas, and at higher altitude, it looks super blurry and cartoonish (if it wasn’t for detailed mesh, it would have looked even worse). This issue, if not resolved, would somewhat indicate that the intention for this Sim is more general aviation than airliners pilot.

It absolutely can be related to that, and this has been logged as a bug, which implies it can be fixed, or at the very least, there will be an attempt to see if it can be fixed and someone feels a fix is plausible.

This issue is also on Xbox series X. Msfs2020 looks so much better compared to msfs2024. (With the same internetconnection (300mbit)

Unfortunate update on the dev stream - suggested a lot of causes but they were all directed to streaming issues, dynamic settings, or bad local data.

No acknowledgement that the core textures on Ultra settings with stable connection are poor quality.

Hopefully there’s an elaboration on this outside the stream somehow. It is indicated as bug logged so that seems to indicate they know there’s an issue

There just asked this question in the Dev. Stream. There don’t understand that and need more info. Can someone ask this question briefly and correctly with pictures for Martial please?

My post here is quite clear with plenty of photos and comparisons to illustrate it.

I don’t know how to get them to see this.

You can find plenty of examples of this around the world. There’s clearly something wrong.

The ground textures are obviously blurry, but they ignore the problem and need more input. How about the developers just use the simulator themselves.

MSFS 2024 Video east of CYRT:

2020 in the same spot does not look nearly this bad.

Ultra settings, dynamic off, 4K DLSS Quality with gigabit internet.
