Did you see this trailer from Xbox?
Here some ground level grabbed screen.

Okay that MS Asobo trailers are captured in 4K HDR but that doesnāt mean Xbox delivers something far from that. And we know very well that, graphically, the Xbox has already reached better levels of graphic quality. Mind you, Iām not asking for perfection, as I understand the hardware limitations of consoles. What I ask for here is something decent. What we currently see is disrespectful to Xbox users.

I did off course. But if there is one thing I learned over the years, is that commercial advertising almost never represent the actual thing.
Unless you have a beast of a PC.
I donāt say there is nothing wrong, but those particular screenshot you took i have seen that as long as I play this Simulator. One day itās worse then the other.

But you have showed us screens from photogrammetry area which is prone to such aberrations and that is normal. I still much
preffer PG areas to any autogen or even handmade POI buildings. From 1000 feet it looks almost life like, a game changer for sure.

That kind of image processing sounds offensive to me. I strongly disagree with those who say that this is a toll to pay in exchange for stability.

Without stability you wouldnāt be in there air at all and ctd before takeoff. I see this all the time doesnāt bother me not game breaking itās not directly under the aircraft. Certain itās server related

It doesnāt matter the origin of the problem but that it exists and MUST be solved. This is the point. Something has been lost amid the updates and what we currently see is an aberration.

The only thing I can suggest run the same route again after resetting the sim on another server or try running with cache on Iām currently running a 30gig cache has no effect on stability
Last night, flight from Sulawesi island to Jakarta, default A320Neo with Batik livery. I often fly over Indonesia cause I like volcanoes and rain forestsā¦ And default scenery looks decent, sometimes even brilliant. Well, a few miles from Soekarno Hatta the textures on the Java terrain started to pop in like crazy. Never experienced that before. So disappointedā¦
Location of your screenshot? That looks awful and usually trees draw distance looks a bit betterā¦

If it was taken from the current Xbox build, Iām the sexiest man on Earth.

Spend 5k on a pc you can have all the lod and graphics you want the trailer just has a Xbox logo stamped on it.
I think the sim looks great these days on Xbox Series X. Nothing to complain about.
I think some people have a bit unreasonable expectations. Enjoy the sim for what it is, donāt seek the details that it doesnāt have.

The Sim once had the details you say they currently donāt have. Talk about him sounds inconceivable.

Im just seeking the details that was there in SU10, then disappeared in SU11 a few weeks later. If you think it looks great, then good for you.
The unreal expectations you speak of, i donāt think anyone has that. But Live Weather, Thunderstorms disappeared, mods that screw your game up, CTDās, and considering i have paid for the game and mods i donāt want to use as it destabilises the game, then i feel i have a right, like others, to voice an opinion. Iāve had 7 CTDās the last week and a half, but i still play. So i should accept it as it is? That is maybe why the game is like it isā¦

Donāt get me wrong, I agree that frequent CTDs is unacceptable and that all expected functions should be functional. Iām just talking about the LOD which is the main discussion in this thread. People are posting screenshots with some minor blurring in the far distance, which is barely noticeable. These are the slight exaggerations I have in mind.

Ah fair enough, Iāve noticed a downgrade in the LOD. I posted a video earlier in this thread. Itās particularly bad in the built up areas, New York and LA are bad offenders. I donāt remember it being this bad in SU10, which was the pinnacle for me. Such a great balance.
Donāt get me wrong, i love the game, but the bad experiences make you bring up everything lol

With all due respect, it doesnāt seem remotely noticeable to me. On the contrary, the LOD defect is blatant.

Folks, we really need to distinguish between photogrammetry and LOD issues. Pointing to some random area of the globe at ground level and complaining that it isnāt exactly a lifelike recreation is not an LOD issue. Itās also, be blunt, an absurd expectation for a consumer simulator at this point.
