S!
While this patch for sure had advances there were also steps back. This tree thing is a clear step backwards. I did not have problems with them in last beta, kept them at Medium which provided nice looks without sacrifice in performance and they appeared right. Now they pop up and out around your plane at low altitude flying. Higher up outside this "LOD sphere" it does not happen so visibly. And I can tell never happened before. I could live with trees from RoF in this case rather than with these automagically appearing and disappearing ones
