First time I checked the trees.. Galapagos Islands is good for that ! to have a real comparison, I needed Medium level screenshots.. but I did not save many medium screenshots, so it’s difficult to compare.. but.. first some good news,
May 9 screenshot, I took this one at Medium level
Today, Medium level.. High and Ultra don’t differ.. as expected.. but there’s a better tree distance..
Also, notice that the trees (or tree density, color, anti-aliasing ?) are improved as well. On flight altitude 300Ft that is..
On short distance.. I see the same issues we had before: trees against the blue sky pixelate.. on below image (both now, SU5, Medium), the only difference is a few meters altitude.. when you go lower.. the tree tops reach the blue sky.. and the screenshot is a nogo..
I’d really be curious to see the XBox-S and XBox-X results at the same spot.. if someone could provide that please ? here is the location, it is north-north east of Isabela SEII, about 10 minutes with a C172:

tried to recover it, but the file size resulted in it being totally deleted, not in the trash.
I have a few vids on my channel, the Melbourne - Sydney at sunrise vid has my horrible commentary.

We spent a couple of hours playing around with different settings in the User cfg after watching Overkill’s latest Vid on You Tube.
This was a protracted trial and error process with each proposed change being tried and any positive effect noted. Eventually we made 5 changes to the User cfg which were,…
Raytracing 1
Terrain LoDFactor 4.000000
Objects LoDFactor 4.000000
ColourGrading 0
Filmgrain 0
Please don’t forget to make sure that the alterations are preserved by Ticking Read Only in Properties otherwise MFS will restore them to default next time the Sim is started.
Thanks to this typically informative Video + lots of helpful advice from the Community we implemented the changes and made some Test Circuits flying a stock Cub Crafter as each change was made.
When we were content with the result of the changes BCP felt confident enough to start making Screen Shots.
Well it’s almost 23.20 GMT and the Collies are sitting here watching BCP make her Screen Captures.
Time for some Music to Fly by which includes some incredible film of the sort of Cloud Scapes that we’re hoping to enjoy in our beloved Sim.
Good night Guy’s and thanks so much for all your help today.

Called the ISP about my modem rebooting at 1445 everyday ‘Well your connected now sir’ - ‘Well I wasnt connected 5 min ago arrrrrr’. let me transfer you to tier2 .. this one was even dumber. So I treked down to the BestBuy stood around for 10 min waiting for a salesman to become available. Told him what I was looking he was clueless ROFL but said wait here I’ll find someone who knows more. Stood around for another 10 min and he never returned. So I grabed the other salesman by the nosehairs and drug him over to the cable modem section and told him what I was looking for. On the way out I talked to one of the Geek Squad people who confirmed what I had suspected about cable modems after doing my own research.
Got home, set it up, OMG where did all the bldgs and houses and cactus come from LOL …what a difference went form a docsis3.1 puma based modem to a docsis 3.0 broadcom based modem and seriously what a difference it doesnt even look like the same sim anymore.
Did you know there was grain on the dashboard of the planes lol and so many other little things that have just magickly appeared since I made the downgrade.
See those houses on the beach there, I have never seen those in that spot before ever WOW
And then I came here to GLOAT!!! ROFL! Did you know when you land in the dirt that you actually have dust kicked up by the wheels ROFl I have never seen that before either.

I flew from Tiksi (UEST) to Svalbard (ENSB), polar flight
Very quiet around here
Cool approach to Svalbard, runway is a bit bumpy
Nicely modeled airport thanks to the Nordics update
Despite it being light (and very bright) all flight, it logged 2h 45 of night time flying and 0 take offs, 0 landings. The flightplan went screwy as usual when I entered the approach, assigned to use Loc 28. When I entered it in the onboard computer it routed me back to the start and IFR flight tracking was cancelled. I flew the rest myself, useless computers.
Next up, Alert, Canada, only 700nm from here! That’s a quite bumpy (undulating) dirt strip in the game, not sure if my A320 is going to survive that.

What did i do in MFS today?
Lets think about it, …, hm, …
Nothing, because this game is broken since SU5.
I cannot fly anymore.
Finally jumped into Navigraph and Simbrief, all i can say is i wish i had done so sooner.
Having actual charts and plates in my TBM with the WT-G3000 and everything being up to date PRICELESS>

Insert Alec Guinness meme here. 
After a week or so of trying to get the sim working, I did manage a flight in the CJ4 from EGKK-ESSA. My version of the FBWA320NX just will no load no matter what I do. Anyway, being my first actual flight post SU5 I was interested to see whether my experience matched those who have already posted on the forums. There is no doubting the smoothness of the flight and display delivery is superior to that prior to the update. Moreover my computer was certainly under less stress throughout the flight. There were no stutters or hesitations at any stage during the flight, even though I did use the excellent and highly detailed Gatwick scenery by MKVY. Previously this scenery would have been too much for my set-up b ut now, as Colonel Potter might say, “There are never enough Os in smooooooth”. At intermediate altitudes there is definitely a drop in scenery definition but at FL410 feet the ground textures are more than acceptable. The bulk of clouds is okay but they don’t appear as defined as they were prior to SU5 and there was some texture tearing as the edge of my monitor’s display. On this flight, my biggest gripe is with the “white out” you see in front. At altitude this is no problem but it really bleaches out the scenery as you make your approach. I couldn’t make out Runway 1L at Arlanda until about 5 miles out at around 1000 feet or so, Even so, it was so bright I felt I needed Raybans to make out the centre line and landing zone markings. One other issue I had was the camera settings I had bound to the hat switch on my Honeycomb Alpha yoke had been lost. I guess this is no hardship I can rebind them, but I would prefer updates to leave personal settings like these alone.

Flew from Acapulco to Mexico City in the DA62. Lots of fun. Weather was awful (in a good way). Thunderstorms for much of the journey. Tricky climb over the mountains.
Then a very busy approach into MMMX. Live Traffic was using both runways for approach and even so I ended up been told to go around.
Really fun flight. And all from the comfort of my couch.
