Muddy texture?

[CONVEEN]

My Bingdate works. Dont know why this is so upgrad?

[ArcanePython931]

Which update… what dates did you take these images ? and at what altitude ?

And… are you sure you did not change your Rendering Resolution setting in the meantime, to get more FpS ? Several settings can affect ground/terrain detail… things depends on LOD and altitude etc…

Is this a complaint cos it looks worse or a praise cos it looks better?

Isn’t clear what your post is about.
No offence I assume English isn’t your native language, but hard to understand what your question is.

Is in 20.000 feet and after the update. I do not change anything in my settings, all the same before from the last update. The better looking picture is when you go deeper with the plane.

so the textures quality become more better for you ?

[ArcanePython931]

@CONVEEN so if you dive under 20000 Ft, it gets sharper. That is what normally happens with textures.

And at 20000 feet… I wonder if it is realistic to expect a sharp aerial image of the ground on a screen, at around 20000 Ft. Details get much smaller than pixels. A RL digital camera would have issues with it as well ? Anti-aliasing could cause it (what happens if you switch off TAA ?)

I agree with you the change should not be sudden around 20000 feet, it should be a gradual change.

In the wishlist, low resolution ground texture is named issue #9 by the Community. So it is top 10, but I wonder if it has any real priority. Increasing ground LOD at high altitude would decrease performance !

This might just be a streaming bug, a change in the LOD rings distances in SU4, but in the end, LOD ring distance and object LOD is a long lasting problem with FS2020.

LOD is shorter near the poles:

@CptLucky8

I’ve not looked in details where you’re all flying to, but there is a LOD Distance Ring bug where the closer to the equator, the farther the trees (COS(LAT) factor).

Object selection based on LOD/size is erratic:

@CptLucky8

• Trees LOW are changing shape every frame like in the video above and are causing more micro stutters
• Trees ULTRA are not changing shape (at least not as much) and there is much less micro stutters, even none, very often.

Tree objects are wrongly scaled (with pictures):
