I’m not sure if it’s the streaming, the aggressive LOD or what, but I do get unacceptable popups over dense photogrammetry areas, even when flying over the same area at a crawl in a chopper or the gyroplane and this with a rolling cache of 150 GB. Yet I never seem to see my 100Mbs fibre connection even close to being maxed out.
For performance reasons though I have to limit my TLOD to around 100-125, as I fly almost exclusively in VR. I haven’t had much time in 2D mode, but on Ultra preset with TLOD maxed out it was nowhere near as bad. 4090, 5800x3D.
Well, I was finally satisfied that I had gotten the best frame rate possible with 2024 so I decided to reproduce a few screen shots from 2020 that I use as screen savers. The results are shockingly bad. I better ask what are the optimal settings. Here is my local campus from 2020 followed by 2024.
This is the comment I was searching for. All the homes and the docks in the lakes in Alaka are gone. I was really looking forward to the photogammetry of the lakes in Alaska to show all the little homes along the the banks in Alaska and the streams as well. These homes and boat docks were present to a limited extent in MS 2020, and now in the MSFS 2024 game they are missing. I use these regions in Alaska to fly around as a form of relaxation and meditation, in particular the Talkeetna lake areas. It’s sad to see it all gone.
All the homes on the lakes and streams in the state of Alaska are gone. There’s literally nothing there anymore, unlike MS 2020. The photogammetry in this region is a big step down from what I was used to enjoying.
Something that’s worked for me was using a VPN. For some reason, my ISPs default routing to whatever CDNs that MS uses for content delivery is horrible. Using a VPN I get a much better experience.
There is no photogrammetry in Alaska. You’re probably talking about satellite imagery and autogen scenery. This is something entirely different from photogrammetry (3D scanned cities).
Yeah and it’s lacking in expanded coverage and updated scan images. Jorg in October at the global event showed a slide show and said the US is getting many new TIN cities, expanded photogrammetry coverage, some area I think would get better fields and farm type data. But none of that happened. My home town area still looks the same. Still has missing POI on approach, still has a hard autogen photogrammetry cutoff that looks bad. And the shared world of 2020 and 2024 got delayed, + marketplace and more.
Very underwhelming and we’re getting only a blurry slow experience interim until we hear specific updates to these items which so far has failed to occur.
I used the form for the next dev q&a to ask them about that, you and other people should do the same. I’m really curious to know when they intend to implement the updated photogrammetry to the new sim (or both sims).
I have used the form also. I know they’re not obligated to answer any one persons items, but my batting average for having items addressed is zero haha. So yes maybe if more people ask the same thing then in effect we’ll learn.
