Hi all! I noticed the following. My ground textures in MSFS2020 look really great only up to some 10.000 feet. At cruising altitude however, they look abysmal, straight out of a mobile flight sim game. These screenshots are taken from 35.000 feet for example. I’ve read on the forums that other users are also experiencing these extremely low res textures.
My graphics settings are set to ‘‘high’’ and I have a good enough internet connection (around 80 mbit/s). When in cruise, MSFS only uses 1 mbps at most, according to task manager.
I was wondering if this is intended behavior or if this is a legitimate issue known to the developers. This takes away a lot of the sightseeing fun from flying airliners in MSFS.
Please click on the images to enlarge them, then you can easily see the massively low resolution.
