Brief description of the issue:
Flying around São Paulo (SBSP) area, I noticed that the draw distance is a bit poor, as shown in the printscreen… after a certain distance, one can see the blurry terrain - at closer ranges though, it seems astonishingly beautiful. So doing some research, I found out that the culprit should be the object LOD (I already tried btw cranking up the Terrain LOD all the way up to 400 and I don’t see perceivable changes). The idea would be to use the object LOD factor in the UserCFG.opt file to attain better settings than the maximum available via the sliders.
The procedure I do is:
with FS2020 closed, I change the Usercfg.opt file and save it
I put the opt file in read-only mode via properties
I start FS2020…
… only to know that nothing has changed! I even tried setting both terrain and object LODs to 9 in order to replicate the “slide show mode” some users got when applying such settings, but nothing really changes. Again, I’m using Steam’s MSFS. Any idea?

The Bug Reporting category is for posting suspected or confirmed bugs that other users are able to reproduce without duplicating an existing bug topic. Using the template is required in order to provide valuable information, feedback, and replication steps to our test team.
If you are not sure if your issue is a bug or need further input from the community, please use the General Discussion & Community Support category. If the community can replicate your issue, first search the Bug Reporting category to see if there’s an existing topic. If it already exists, contribute to that report. Duplicate bug reports will be closed.
If you believe it is a new report, then create a new bug topic using the provided topic template.
Be sure to also change your preset value to “Custom” if you use Ultra or High ect it will override your userconfig edits
Also you do not have to set the file to read only if you do not alter any settings in sim after editing.
That works! Thanks! Another thing would be… draw distance… it is affected by which parameter specifically? It seems that by only changing o-lod I cannot make it draw houses and trees further… seems like I have to play with t-lod and o-lod altogether to get different draw distances… which is odd cause I thought t-lod altered only the quality of photogrammetry and autogen geometry that is already drawn (at least that’s what I observe when doing it on the fly, no pun intended).
