Thanks for your reply…

Currently, I use a special notepad editor to do a find and replace for the tall buildings and adjust their LOD (given that they had a higher LOD to begin with) to something like 1,000,000. It makes a huge difference when taking off from KFLL, heading south and seeing the tall building on the coastline in Miami.

The performance hit for me is very little (I run extreme objects). However, my crude LOD method does not adjust the LOD for every tall building as I see some still fade in, but that’s a small percentage compared to what I am able to see from my LOD adjustment.

I mainly fly Helicopters and GA aircraft, I am rarely over 8 thousand feet, so the ground “eye candy” is important to me. With XP’s 3D ground environment, the immersion is unbelievable.

Increasing the LOD is on or todo list – we’re not sure what the perf hit is going to be, but whatever the LOD is now, it’s too close.

The world LOD affects LOD, so if we adjust the building LOD you would cut it back down by not running on max world LOD.

Are you also able to increase the LOD for viewing these buildings (especially the really tall ones) from a great distance?

In the sim, I think the building looks great until the view is cut off once you are 3 miles out and seeing ‘fading’ buildings. I think the’ really tall skyscrapers’ should have an infinite LOD to increase the immersion and maintain a skyline from a distance. The same thing for night lights.

I would like to have sliders for these settings to tailor the view vs performance hit.

That’s an Awesome news Ben.Thx for the heads up.

that’s the shipping weather in 10.45! You have this now! 🙂
