I’m on your bus (well plane) @Hugothester
I’ve done some screenshots for those looking for top down views in SU5. These are on LOD 400/400 in line with @Hugothester post at the top.
35,000 feet near New York:
Thought I’d have a look at the altitude blurry texture thing. So I’ve taken the screenshots below at 5,000 feet intervals over the same location. Now I have a feeling this issue may well be location specific, perhaps connected to the quality of satellite imagery available. For my test, I picked an area just North of KJFK, but far enough away from the airport to not be impacted by that, and hopefully representative of an area where there is good satellite coverage so we can see what happens in th…
35,000 ft in Northern Africa
Here’s a less well covered area (I assume) - North Africa, 34 deg, 7 mins, 48.02 seconds North, 4 deg 39mins 53.53 seconds West
5,000 ft:

So quality at 50,000ft definitely a bit less good, but not a …
35,000 ft in Papua New Guinea
Last one for now. This is Mount Hagan (AYMH) in Papua New Guinea. This is already at 5,000 feet altitude, so the pics start at 10,000 feet for consistency
10,000 ft:
[2021-08-02 (32)]
15,000 ft

[2021-08-02 (40)]
So again, issue not apparent here. As I say, if someone can conf…
7,000 ft near Gatwick
35,000ft over Milan
35,000 ft over Monaco
(someone mentioned its only blurry if you look out the window)
Vancouver at 28,000 feet
I also did a post here around changing the Object LOD distance because there is a tower at HKKI airport where with 200/200 LOD set you can only see the light on the top of the tower and not the tower itself starting from runway 24
OK, here’s HKKI for me
In cockpit, I can see the tower
[image]
In drone view behind the plane, I can’t - just the light
[image]
It must be right on the cusp of being visible. Here is where I can first see it from the drone
[image]
and here’s the plane behind me (just rotated 180) so actually it’s odd I can see it from the cockpit but not the drone when at the windscreen position

This is all with 200/200 on the sliders
If I edit the config file to put 200 on the ter…
I’ve also seena few posts today/yesterday where autogen scenery is not being drawn or not being drawn properly (and probably photogrammetry too for some people, although I’ve personally not seen that). Here are two examples:
Edinburgh:
Cardiff:
I’m strongly suspecting that these issues are either a problem with the UK world update data or a server side problem. I don’t think these are neecessarily related to SU5
Whilst we are on that subject, here is an excellent post by @Sharpex95 on workarounds and how to get the best from the new UI options. I strongly recomment anyone with issues with the UI reads this post
Can I suggest this is given ‘pinned’/‘sticky’ status for a little while.
Hi all,
Please keep posts in this thread strictly to work arounds/fixes for any issues with the in game UI for PC - there are more than enough posts for people to raise any concerns. This is focusing on work arounds for issues linked to the in game GUI, particully the tool tips.
I hope this helps and please, if like me you are frothing at the mouth with rage about the UI - note that it can be ‘fixed’ (mostly) and returne…
