TBH, as-much as I like your landscape photographs, I prefer to see the aircraft in action. So flying at 1-2000 feet or racing over the surface at 200mph, I'd rather have a less 'Pop-corn' effect of the terrain exploding into view and divert the rendering or programming to fixing this. Maybe reducing the quality of the Tree and Corn rendering and putting the processing power into making the "bubble around the plane means stuff gets drawn in as you get near it rather than fades/bleeds into view" effect a thing of the past?

I appreciate that taking a still image shows off some nice trees and grass, but I want the town below me to either not be rendered or actually appear smoothly rather than pop,pop,pop,pop,pop as it did in the original IL2 (10-year-old technology at-least) than the current way it is/does appear.

I am not living in hope of a quick fix though as there are many, many more pressing fixes to be done. Lets hope Luthier and the team can throw a 'Hail Mary' and get a touchdown for the US release, with an update for Full Screen (not Psudo), FSAA, does AF work?, Multiplayer Sound bug, Launcher.exe crashing, etc, etc..... one lives in hope!

Wonderfull, absolutely wonderfull but better for a tank sim where grass is more important than clouds.
