I apologize in advance if this is the wrong topic category for my issue. I’ve been dealing with this problem for over a year now, and I’ve searched and tried every solution possible on several forums. In short my photogrammetry just plain doesn’t load, I’ve seen lots of people with similar issues but nothing quite on the level I have. I’ve attached a photo in hopes of possibly finding someone who has solved this problem, quite frankly I’m about to stop flight simming as this completely ruins immersion for me and I’ve grown very tired of it. I have an RTX 4080 and am able to max out my LOD and graphics settings, I have great internet and consistently get 800+Mbps. I run my sim through the Xbox app on PC and have speculated this might have something to do with it. Other than the photogrammetry my sim runs great. I don’t use any graphical mods or add ons that change ground textures. Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.
The PG has loaded, it just drops to a lower LOD the further you get away from it. If you use the mouse to zoom right in you will often see buildings that render normally close up as little pyramid shaped objects.
As you keep flying away from the city you will see the buildings on the left, which look perfectly fine to me, will end up looking like more primitive geometric shapes the further you go away.
This isn’t the fault of the PG specifically, as they don’t look like that close up, more a case of aggressive LOD to preserve performance. You can play around with Object, and Terrain LOD, but eventually they will always do this as they recede into the distance.
With any luck this will be better in 2024.
Don’t bother re-installing the sim either, as some might suggest, as that won’t do anything at all except waste your time, and bandwidth.
Not all LODs are the same. Over time you see the PG quality improve.
Manhattan was literally one of the first Gen. Compare it to Melbourne and Sydney AU. The skyline literally holds detail all the way until it recedes in the visual horizon.
