(xbox) Jetway and lod issues (PMDG 777)

[Jorrallcorrall]

When i spawn in often times the scenery does not load properly and terminals are missing or the textures are awful, Also main issue is that when i try and connect the jetway to the pmdg 777 (haven't tried with other planes) the default jetway appears and goes through the scenery ones. I get that this needs to be optimized well for xbox and in general i get good performance however I have no issues with heathrow at all and no bad lods. Any help would be appreciated as I only bought yesterday and so far first impressions aren't great.

Hi @Jorrallcorrall

There is already an update for xbox in testing with some more LOD improvements. We hope to have this out to users soon.

However this issue is most prevalent at OMDB owing to the shape of the terminal being long and wide, whereas LOD zones are spherical. In any case, do let us know after the new update.

Also please ensure that you have disabled the Asobo OMDB from the content manager (if using Premium Deluxe edition of MSFS)

Thanks!

Hi, I am not using the premium deluxe edition so why is this still happening? Also when will the update be released?

Thanks, Jack

Then it would be due to the Xbox's aggressive memory management. While on PC, this issue manifests itself with blurry/lower LOD models at certain distances; on Xbox this leads to unloading of the entire object as part of the platform's aggressive memory management code. We are aware of this issue and working on it with Asobo to find a long-term solution.

The LOD issue will be most prominent on terminals like OMDB owing to their odd long & wide shaped-design as described above, but the LOD ranges being spherical. You may read more about it here:

No ETA I'm afraid. Especially when it comes to Marketplace releases as the ingestion/testing process is beyond our control.

Thanks!
