That's because texture are loaded when you start the game. To get the new one you need to reload them, so restarting. Fairly common in games.
And considering you also have a terrain material quality setup, and a terrain LOD mixer setup
Also I honestly would love a PROPER explanation of what that blasted terrain work slider does exactly.Well this is just one more reason why I won't be flying any time soon. This isn't exploration.
How many bad planet pictures does it take to convince a white knight? Asking for a friend.

3 years for this?What I'm about to show you will be the final straw in cementing the new planetary tech system into a failure.
I remember Dr Kay Ross stating on stream that their procedural heightmap system made use of handmade terrain that would then be randomized across. I was worried when I heard this.
Check this out - I'll let the images speak for itself:
Literally all terrain features both from high orbit to low orbit are repeating, hand crafted, and break every little bit hunger for exploration. There is absolutely no desire to go down and explore since all you're looking at is the "randomly" organized set of hand crafted height map bits the developers have made.
Horizons gives a REAL sense of wanting to go and explore. Find planets with unique features.
Planets in Odyssey are no longer unique. They are just reorganised sets of the same features.
These planets were designed with one goal: look acceptable from an on-foot perspective or when looking from a twilight perspective with a setting sun for the atmo effect.
Yes, it's bad, now I would like some statistics:
Feel free to post awesome looking screen captures because I have yet to see any. Meanwhile, horrid looking screen captures continue to accumulate.
They refused to look inside Galileo's telescope as it was standing there in front of them, ready for them to see the truth. Quite literally, Galileo had set it beforehand.
They won't be convinced.
Look for @Barking_Mad post earlier in this thread - It is useful to follow the content in something as important as this appears to be.
Its just a textures for far cheap lod of planets that dont represent real ground generated mesh. Now show me here any repeatable patterns, huh
Do you understand that this is not real planet surface, its just fast approximation with preset textures? Switch to Ultraforcapture and see for youself how different it will be.
Why else would someone drop into this thread and mention they're busy unlocking some engineer? As if that somehow invalidated the concerns of those who enjoy exploration. What else was it if not a message that he doesn't care about how anyone else experiences the game?
