EGLL blurred runway on approach

[scotflieger]

I fly most days in and out of London Heathrow using the iniBuilds latest premium scenery with MSFS2024 using Ultra settings. Even down to 2 NM from touchdown (09L) the runway looks blurred and croaked (kinked side lines). Is there some way I can improve this? I have not tried a screenshot at such a critical stage of the flight.

Using the drone camera I get this screenshot at 1.6NM (3km) from the 09L threshold (over The Queen Mother Reservoir at Horton 51.4775N 0.4841W). As can be seen the airport are clear and detailed but the runway appears a number of disjointed segments. Something is definitely wrong with the model. This does not occur at other airports (eg. Pyreegue Edinburgh v2 EGPH).

I’ve seen the same on my approach to 9L today.

is there anything I can do to have a better looking runway?

Hello,

This is a known issue, its caused by aggressive LOD. I can't give you to much detail (only a mod) but we know about it.

Kindest.

Hi,

thank you for the reply!

Would it help then to change the terrain LOD setting? If so, would it be better to increase it or to reduce it?

Thanks!

I get this too.

What settings should I change to fix this? It only happens at iniBuilds airports.

Can we have an update on this issue please? It is a serious problem, not only visually, but it seems whatever is going on in the background is degrading performance - the stuttering on approach is horrible.

I have never once experienced this issue on any scenery from other developers, so there must be a way to avoid it happening if this is a sim issue, as you seem to allude to.

I am not on the beta build, and this issue has occurred since release.

I just purchased LHR Premium last week and can confirm the findings of my fellow posters. 

The Terminals and buildings look fantastic inside and out, however the runways are a blurry squiggly mess until you have landed.

I don't think the issue is "aggressive LOD" I've just landed with LOD set to 50 and had the same issue. I have a high end PC with a 7900XTX GP and had plenty of fps and no stutters but it was visually horrible, in fact unusable, for landing.

I'm going to try the Asobo handcrafted LHR and will report back.

Hello,

Let me know what conclusion you reach! I'll be forwarding this to the team regardless.

Thank you
