[Why Does 10-10 look as good as 200-200] Here is an example of what I mean. The only difference I can see is frame rate.

Sorry. DirectX12 will not give any inherent performance increase, mostly some more visual fidelity (mentioned by the developers). They did however find some optimizations from working on the XBox version which we’ll get in the PC version as well. Likely around the XBox release. About the multithrea…

Objects LOD affects the quality of the draw for generic buildings and your aircraft depending on your camera distance. I’m saying that at 10 Objects LOD, your aircraft will show as very basic model with blurry livery and missing details. On my A320, the radar dome and the small pilot tube and stabil…

The Lods don’t effect the quality it just that objects and and terrain get drawn further away from your position, the tree terrain and buildings setting effect the details of those items. The terrain Lod takes more performance because in majority of cases there is more of it.

DX12 is not going to give you better performance with volumetric clouds.You’ll need a faster GPU for less performance impact and if you want to see where Terrain LOD really makes a difference try a photogrammetry city and compare to 10 to 200.

That’s right and the terrain LOD@200 is very noticeable in photogrammetry areas.Things look better at a certain altitude.

This is because you’re zoomed in.. Try zooming out. like when you use the “reset external view”

Both LOD’s are just draw distance. Neither has anything to do with detail or quality. See this post/thread for more details https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/poi-very-late-rendering-draw-pop-in-immersion-breaking/368281/28?u=dronkeyklong

No difference on my Samsung 4k monitor

Good explanatory video, the difference between High-End and Ultra is really negligible.

Why does Terrain LOD and Object LOD setting not matter?

Not the case. Cannot tell any difference on plane detail on the airbus.
