I agree with Matt, seeing the IKEA store model outside of North America is very awkward. Furthermore it would be nice to see a greater variety of generic house shapes, because most of the 3d building look like tiny apartment.

Another reason why I don't like the "autogen" is that I think the models look out of place in areas such as Asia.

Seeing so many IKEA buildings is just not realistic looking.

So I prefer to turn them off completely but unfortunately you lose all the custom 3D airport objects.

There are some great custom airports out there (including a lot of FS9 conversions).

Subic Bay, Philippines (RPLL) is a great convert with very high FPS, and a fantastic experience in Xplane.

Please address this autogen issue. FS9/FSX offers the same ability, to turn off the "autogen".

Adding this tweak would be very much appreciated by a lot of users I think!

Kind regards, Matthew

I'm looking forward to more eye candy especially the auto-generated airport terminals.

I too agree with Matthew. The objects such as houses, etc., look nice when turned to a higher level than what most computers can do, but the sparse look of the default level of objects makes it better without them, in my opinion. I would turn them off completely if it were not for the custom airports. If such an option is reasonably feasible, I would love to see airport objects separated from the other objects in the settings. Airports, after all, are where we spend the most time that close to the ground.

"Also, is it possible to add an option that disables the "autogen" objects but still leaves airport objects visible. I like to see the airports objects maxed out but not have "autogen" objects elsewhere."

Great progress!

By leveraging threads more will you be able to increase the visual range that XPlane renders?

Would it be possible to extend visibility out to say 100 NM instead of the 25 NM that exists now?

Also, is it possible to add an option that disables the "autogen" objects but still leaves airport objects visible. I like to see the airports objects maxed out but not have "autogen" objects elsewhere.

Kind regards, Matthew.
