tree graphics when flying

[ddraig1]

When im flying the trees do not seem to update to a good resolution until i have passed them, so i generally see forests as light green blobs until im directly over them. It seems to be over heights of 3,000ft

Is this a common occurence or is it just my rig?

I believe this is the price we pay to reduce the FPS hit of the trees: the higher LODs only come into view when you're really close.

this is done totally to give you more decent framrates, loading the high LOD earlier (further out) will kill framerates as you pass over lots of detail quickly when flying, due to your high relative speed across terrain

They look better with normal maps turned on.
