ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:The road cars driving on highways and roads disappears from very short distance, very unrealistic when flying at night that we cant see the cars on approach at 2500feet.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Enable road traffic

  2. Fly at night over busy highway

  3. Increase altitude until cars disappears.

YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

I assume rendering distance also depends of your LOD setting, could share it ?, have you tested with the highest one ?

3

Yes, objectLOD 200 and Road traffic are on ultra.

4

Same here, on ultra it sometimes feel like there are way too many cars and are drawn not far enough into the distance.
On medium the amount of cars feels reasonable, but the draw distance is even shorter.

I think they should in general never change the draw distance for things with different settings, but only the density and LOD. Draw distance should always be same and far out.

I’d like to see road traffic divided into 2 settings; density and distance. I think having a slider for each would help to customise for individual’s performance and visual preference.
