Doesn't look right to me, if the glass Index of Reflection glossines is 1500 points, the steel IOR Is about 1000 pt, the difference shouldnt result in such a blink jump from material to material, the switch should be smoother, and It is the sun reflection size that changes projected on the material rather than intensity blink due to specular properties in the shader, I have thousands of dollars in videos cards to appreciate this kind of things when well done. i sometimes think I could be a wonderful art director for a game..

Said no one ever 

Some artists from today believe that this cute effects are nice, but in reality it is a problem if they dont match reality, and we end up moding or buying add-ons.. the idea is to make all great from scratch no?

So Microsoft and the whole team of the game engine department in America and in my beloved Europe, the art directors and particularly the shader makers, should understand that glass and steel are two different materials regarding its surface and it is mainly the roughness that creates the difference between these two materials, and they should react almost together in a different matter through a noise pattern reacting as roughness,  as who writes this already exlained on top, meaning that this effect should never blink the way it is doing up to now in the game, and we are talking about a big plane, so the reaction to sun should be bigger and not a tiny hot-spot.

 

The reaction to the sun in this angle manifest as a 8 metres reflection to the sun, glass and steel reacting together with the smooth glass manifesting a big reflection and so the steel but with a roughness noise pattern and in no case there is a blink. 

 

 

 

 

And this is why we will need third party addons soner than later. BTW I don't know if X-Box users will receive all of them but..meantime..

Asobo, let us judge by ourselves your work, please!

I think because of the capturing angle is different in both clips, the end result should be different, isn't it?

Yeah, I am totally disappointed with that one as well. That does it! I just can't enjoy MSFS anymore after seeing this inaccuracy. I'll go back to my billboard clouds.

This actually just makes the MSFS clip much more realistic compared to your first post.

Notice that the plane seems to turn left. If it would drive straight and the reflection process move slower, it woud probably look more like a blink as well.

Yes yes, you're God's gift to 3d graphics, we got it

Picky, picky, picky.

What are those white lines moving along the front wheel on the concrete?

Edit: Probably the runway designator. It looks weird as the camera zooms out in fisheye style while the plane is moving forward. Just a @simtom thing. 😄

It's not glass and steel. It's acrylic windows and polyurethane paint.

I suggest you to look at current sim effects, without any add-ons 😄

And all this debate can be summarized with something called: Normal (texture) Map...
