I landed at FA08 and all around me were large green cubes or blocks that were supposed to be trees and bushes. The whole area looked like that. It was before the US world update though.

It might look good when you‘re flying at 5000‘ but there is a time you‘re on approach and see it from closer. I have 200k internet so that shouldn‘t be the problem. It‘s just that PG won‘t look like a fairly textured building, even if it‘s just generic. And IMO there is no reason why famous cities like London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Dubai, New York etc can‘t be custom built, even if they cost a bit to create.

Edit: but yes, I see that PG gives the possibility to recreate a whole city down to every single building. That‘s hardly achievable when you build it yourself.

Were you able to get playable FPS around London in VR? I got single digits (5800x, 2070S, 32GB) yesterday.

Same here. Even with photogrammetry off, it’s an FPS killer in VR. I’m using a 2080ti, 5ghz CPU, and 32gb ram. Before the update the U.K. was the only place I could fly top-to-tail, country to city, without any serious stutters. Not anymore!

Unusable how? msfs is getting better with every update, its fantastic, i really petty those who has problems with it but its most likely user error or they are just trolling and dont even own msfs, either way, just tell us what problem you have and maby someone can help, and make you realize the masterpiece that msfs really is, when garmin and systems are up to date to other sims then no one can complain, and just for the sake xplane g1000 is a good chunk far off the real g1000, but just good enough. the next update might just close the gap.

Photogrammetry requires a good connection both ends, fast at your end yes but also a server that is not overloaded.

The other thing is if you get a bad download it seems to cache it forever so you need to clear your rolling cache if the buildings are melted.

Trees though will always be blobs unless the ai recognised them as trees and replaces them with autogen ones.

It is not surprising the photogrammetry in London is coming up melted for some people giving how busy the air over London has been in gam lately.

Guys, make sure you disable super sampling in VR.

I had it on the lowest setting (2x or so) and VR was unusable on my system. Turning it off didn‘t make a visual difference in my old Oculus Rift but the performance was lightyears better.

I think they should disable the high quality double picture on the screen while VR is active, this might save serious performance.

I agree. Shame I cant fly through London Bridge :slight_smile:

Had to swerve a few stray trees along the Mall to land, and nearly crashed into great-grandmama’s monument. Good that as I’d popped out, they’d raised the Union Flag

London is only looking jaw dropping for people with super high end hardware and blistering fast internet connections.
Not everyone can afford a RTX 3090 ( if you can get hold of one)
In 1080p it doesn’t look very convincing if you ask me. Maybe in 4k it looks stunning on 5000 plus hardware…

thats actually a good point, didnt think it would cache a bad download… is this something that has been confirmed?

One continues to lol.

As an aside, do speak to the admiralty about raising HMS Belfast, the chaps are a tad upset, as it appears some cad has pulled the plug.

My Cruiser’s horrific, isn’t she! Looks like Abramovich and Green have moored nose to tail. That reminds me, must take his Knighthood back

no … just something I noticed seems to help … worth a try

OP looks like he is flying Live weather.
Here’s one with some sunshine, I understand it to be a rarity in the UK :slight_smile:

Did you not have photogrammetry turned on? Your buildings are still the generic auto generated ones and not “real” ones.

I took a few photos before the update.
And I am really impressed.

Very good job, keep it up.
