I searched the forum and I can’t find anything on this specific topic. I have trees on my iPhone 16 ProMax but not on my iPad Air (4th gen). On the phone I have a graphics quality setting under options and it is set by default to “ultra”. On the iPad there is no setting for graphics quality. I assume that this is because the iPad doesn’t have the capability to run above the default settings. Obviously I’d rather fly with a bigger screen so can someone please share which iPad would be the cheapest that would get me the ultra graphics quality option? I love how it looks on my phone and I want the same graphics quality on a tablet. Thank you!
Minimum iPad Requirements For Trees
-
I believe the IPad Pro with M1 chip has trees (Pro with M2 certainly has, because I got it). I’m not sure if non- Pro IPads with an M chip have trees, if those IPads even exist
-
I have an iPad Pro 12,9 4th Generation and trees are visible. Really impressive view.

I run an ipad air 5th gen M1 and mine just about loads trees but the framerate starts to suffer at current graphics settings. should i be able to load trees confidently or can mine barely handle it?

I recently got an iPad Air M3, and it can run trees just fine at 30fps, but as soon as I let the fps go up to 60fps, I notice that every half minute, the fps will fall to 27 fps, and then return back to normal. Is this normal? I’ve had to limit the fps back to 30fps with trees, or use the sim at 60fps without trees. Wonder if there’ll be an optimization update for trees. I don’t think it’s my iPad, since it has the M3 processor, but rather an iPad OS or simulator problem, but I’d like confirmation.

I have an iPad Pro with an M5 processor. I found out by accident, but the simulator runs most smoothly in "Low Power Mode (!)" and with limited frame rate settings (30 fps) and with trees. This is especially noticeable with helicopters. These settings were also fine on a tablet with an M1 processor. Don't ask me why this is because I don't know. Just try it.

Thanks, sim runs fine for me now, although it’s a shame I’m stuck at 30fps, maybe soon they’ll fix it.
