Have finally reinstalled latest version.
Whilst I have no complaints about the increased smoothness of the game, the level of detail has suffered without a doubt.
I have just done a VFR flight over New York…Trees, bloody Trees everywhere…I love them, but not when they are growing in the middle of city streets and through houses.
Also it seems Scully has been at it again…this time due to an overshoot…interesting.
Also the draw distance has suffered greatly since this update…crying shame…oh well we all know this is being designed for the Console market, so I can’t imaging MS/Asobo worrying too much about the PC area.
Any idea of the monolith in the distance? I haven’t visited NY for years…must be a new structure!
Also, after a bit of mucking around, I found that locking the FPS at 30, gave me a very smooth, solid experience…fantastic in fact.
Haven’t tried our any of the aircraft since update, only the Cub…hopefully Dynamics and Navigation have improved, whilst they try and shoehorn this game into the Xbox.
Screen shots attached.
I grew up in NYC. Many parts of the city look exactly like that. There are entire streets where the trees cover everything, and that is what you see from above.
As for the draw distance, mine has improved greatly, plus I can extend the LOD slider to 200 without it being too much of an impact on FPS.
And that monolith you ask about is none other than the Empire State Building. Where are your LOD sliders?

To the extreme right…trees growing out of houses…NY must be an interesting place 
. Ive seen it in NZ…but their Kiwis…and we love them. I should have included a screenshot of my home airport…YSHL, to point out the over population of the trees…
All my settings are on the highest…except for resolution , which is at 90%, as I am running the game on a 4K TV.
It’s because of how they compile the photo data, tech and data need to catch up

I guess it’s just that I don’t see where they’re literally growing out of the houses, but I can tell you that both on the street and in the courtyards behind the buildings, there are a LOT of tall trees, which is what I see in your screen shot.
I don’t know what to say about the LOD, though. I’m not having the same experience.
Big trees are a known thing …
there is unrest in the city for the humans all have fled for the buildings want more sunlight but the trees just shake their heads

I live in NYC. I agree that trees are a bit too much. Should be about 15-20% smaller, at least.
And Manhattan skyline has been looking like this since the game launch, but Empire State Building became white after SU5 if I’m not mistaken

everything became white… Colours are so washed out and bright. Real killer
