Solar panels LOD much too small

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: Solar panels only pop in within a small radius of the aircraft. This stands out compared to buildings, trees, wind turbines and most other autogen, and breaks immersion.

Coordinate or location of issue: Everywhere with solar panels

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

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

Always.

When creating a report do not delete sections of the template and fill in all required fields. They are key for the devs/users to replicate and contribute.
Please add back the Reproduction Steps and Your Settings sections with corresponding information so it can be moved back to the Bug Reporting Hub.

Also, it would help a lot if you could provide coordinates of a location where you are seeing this issue, a video and your Objects LOD graphic setting.

Full templates, coordinates, videos, settings? Sorry, I don’t have time or skills for that. I worry that the increasing burden being placed on bug reports means fewer will be reported and ultimately fixed.

Hi @Uzura2203

Since you didn’t post this in the beta section, I assume you’re in the SU3 live release.
If you can give me an idea of an airport/area with the issue, I’ll take a look in the latest (last??) SU4b.31 and see if it looks better.
Regards

Thanks, if you take off from CL74 which is surrounded by solar plants, you can see it very clearly. The panels pop in at a radius of 1-2 miles, whereas you can clearly see wind turbines several more miles away.

His “Marina’s” is very good as well. Brings the landscape to life.

Oh, I am an idiot. I didn’t realize I actually had an old 2020 freeware version of his solar farms in my community folder.

Well done, and I’ll pick up the 2024 version later!
