Need help with Object draw distance

Discussion Hub General Discussion
1

Since the patch trees, houses etc. draw distance is too short for me.
They appear only when very close to the airplane.

I would like to see far away trees, houses and other objects.
Anyone know which setting in the graphics options can tweak this?

Edit: Windmills seem to work, they draw further out. But the rest of the objects not.

Since this sim only utilizes omly about 20% of the CPU, and most of it on main thread, you won’t be able to fly. Even with the most powerful CPU there is today.

I am not sure what you are trying to say, avi1948. I am flying right now. Sure you posted in the right thread?

Try increasing object and terrain level of detail in settings

he’is right, you can’t increase that or you would need a14900k

You asked how to tweak settings to get objects even further right ? And I said that by doing it you will kill your CPU.

Depth of field

Even that won’t necessarily help. It will utilize about 10% of that CPU all on some main 2 or 3 threads.

after the update

the threads are ecually spread on my setup.

before it was the first 4 heavy loaded.

ehh 14900k at least five years from now, maybe 6 7, there will be ddr5 and maybe ddr6 + 5090ti LOL
it will be enough also for vr in 8k i think muahahahaah

Thanks for your answers, trying out depth of field and object and terrain LOD now…

Ok, depth of field on ultra does help! It increases house draw distance, so I can now see them further out. This one is solved for me.Thanks!

But trees still draw only very close to the aircraft. Any more ideas on how I can get the sim to draw trees also further away from the aircraft (Not more dense, just further away)?

Did you try LOD set to 200? And set trees to ultra. Then there should be a difference. Unfortunately also on the performance.

Just tried, this increases tree density and quality for me. It does not seem to influence the draw distance though.

Edit correction - Does work! Did not have the trees on ultra, but this setting seems to do the trick.
Thanks!

If “Depth of field” changes the amount of objects in the sim, then it’s a bug… Depth of field is an optical effect and doesn’t really change that kind of stuff

200? Did you mean Ultra.

No I mean 200.

This isn’t a solution. This is a known issue and I encourage everyone to vote on the LOD thread in the bugs forum.
