First, thank you Asobo for improving clouds… this was a painful one for me since launch and I’m glad to see that they look much better. Thank you again.
There’s a -but- coming…
Trees and coastlines.
There are so many trees and HUGE trees at that in areas that don’t have these. For example, some parts of the UK look like the amazon rainforest.
Coastlines. They look ugly. It’s as if the mesh doesn’t match the textures. Makes me want to avoid flying anywhere near the coast. Some people are reporting that this latest patch helped with this, but seems like the areas I usually fly in appear to be worse.
They’re all the right trees, just not necessarily in the right order! Found some patches of woodland that I know well and which are clearly thickly forested from the ground image, yet barely a handful of trees to be seen (and I mean from overhead at 500’, so not a LOD issue…)
Nevertheless, this is nit-picking. Overall the update is spectacular from what I’ve had time to explore so far.
There are a couple of addons that fix tree height over at flightsim.to, and they make a big difference. They don’t get rid of misplaced trees, but the sizing is much better. Also, if you want fall/winter trees- you can get that at simmarket. I’m not plugging it- but I prefer those to flying above green foliage in February in the northern hemisphere:-)
