At Alert (CYLT) 800 km from NP, on Ellesmere island, I still have very low LOD and it is same for all those areas I visited nearest the pole.
Also my GPS (both default and GTN750) shows erroneous positions hundreds of kms from my real position. As soon as I fly a few 100kms south it slowly gets back on-track.
The game grinds to a halt the closer I got to the North Pole and the fps increased as I flew in southerly direction.
All 3 issues seem affected by very high latitude locations, near the Pole locations.
Cruising at 18,000ft I also crashed into Greenland coming from the north with shards/âstriped wallâ appearing out of nowhere in a clear sky. It was exactly the moment I would have crossed the coastline.
Oh I see. Since itâs a terrain texture issue, I would diagnose that as Internet problem, data server problem, or something else similar. It doesnât seem to me to be a terrain popping issue. Thatâs slightly but significantly different.
Could be your Internet service is a bit slow or your ISP is throttling you. Or perhaps a problem on the server end. With a game like this so heavily reliant on streaming data from the cloud, you canât expect the terrain to be perfect all the time. That would require the Internet to be perfect all the time.
That doesnât work, there is an issue with high latitudes and terrain LOD. It has been a bug from the beginning. There have been more issues with high latitude because coordinates get so close together itâs very complicated and strange things happen near the north pole.
