Sim Update 3 has broken the most essential : mod Vegetation Draw Distance Fix! Please fix that!

Do you have my season mod?
My experience shows otherwise. My trees are visible from 28000 feet.

Unfortunately this cannot be helped. Mods that change sim configs are going to break when new releases come out. Virtually impossible for Asobo to make the changes we all want if they have to walk on egg shells.

I will look into this and see if anything can be adjusted.

I do not have the ā€˜4 season’ mod but I do own the Winter mod with the LOD fix. I did direct comparisons between your mod and the other Tree LOD mod and yours had a much more obvious LOD cutoff and did not go out nearly as far as the other.

Maybe you were using an older version since I update the mods weekly.

Tried to compare, blue line is the current state with the adjusted fix, red line is assumed draw distance with the 50-75 fix pre SU3. (LOWI RWY26 LOD 2.0000 Trees Bushes Grass Ultra)

lol. since i’ve only been using your trees, this draw distance thing was news to me

I was able to change some coding and now I see much much further.

Okay thats almost the same now as it was with the fix pre Simupdate 3. Treepopping or anything like this ?

The same? lol … See how much further it shows trees in far right mountain on the one zoomed in. That’s WAYYYY beyond yours.
No tree popping.

Pre sim update… not the state now posted in the sceen… The red line is from my memory as i can’t compare the same scene without having a screenshot of it.

they should it make possible to tweak such settings like LOD etc. easy. Like FSX

I’ve just installed v4 of your mod, and it’s brilliant. I’ve only tested it at low altitudes, but it looks fantastic, both the vegetation and the LOD effect. Thanks for your work on this.

Yes, it’s exactly the issue here…I don’t get the point of that…For now we are back to a native draw distance wich is the equivalent of the low settings in P3D, but only, in MSFS you’ve got it with ultra settings…This is not acceptable and doesn’t make any sense they don’t provide a setting slider for the vegetation draw distance and another for buildings, it’s ruining all the brilliant things that are done in MSFS with landscape depiction…
It especially doesn’t make sense since the mod we’ve got before this update was increasing the draw distance to something barely noticeable, at almost no FPS cost…so this is absolutely not a performance limitation…

Have you made your even higher lod version available to sim market? Would consider getting the mod if so. Getting the same effect with lod 500 which is fine in rural areas with the sideeffect of crisper ground but its way to hard on ram/vram in the photo cities with the 3080 constantly dumping into ram.

I am still experimenting some new settings. The last picture I posted is with level 200 and I modified a file called UserCfg.opt to increase LOD to 4 But you may lose FTP by doing that.

To be fair, his low altitude video has visible trees on the tops of the mountains 10 miles away. I’m not sure the low altitude was misleading.
