Blurry runway lights

[SG1999 0]

Hey guys,

Not a huge issue but is anyone else getting quite blurry lights on the runway? I'm running across three screens so wondering if this is distorting things - although doing the same in xplane and they're a lot crisper.

There's your problem, you are running 3 screens at a guess you are running it at 5760x1080. FS2020 isn't optimized for multiple monitors yet.

Same setup with 3 screens and same observation. Except it’s not only runway light but all light in the distance. Night flying is not very pleasant compared to Prepar3d.

Also this is also in the direct line of view so i dont think its distorsions. Maybe others with 1080 vertical resolution notice this ?

I did try all setup variation I can think of but no improvement.

I am running a super Ultra-wide monitor @ 5120 x 1440 and I also have blurry lights at night (all lights are blurry, not just runways).  I actually thought that was just how it was in the sim but have seen a couple reports about it being a problem with multi screen and some widescreens...

Seems like a bug - while scenery is adapting to resolution changes, the lights are not. Seems like the lights work always under 1920x1080 resolution.

I tried to change every imaginable graphics option: DoF, bloom, render scaling, ambient occlusion - the issue reamains. I wonder if this applies to ultrawide (e.g. 5900x1080) resolutions only or to 4k as well (I don't have 4k display to check).

The issue is not related to apparent "stretching" on the far edges on the side displays, the light are blurry even on the centre of the centre screen.

The higher the resolution the issue is more visible:

The cropped area, 5900x1080 (three displays, nVidia surround) no screenshot scaling, high quality jpg - lights extremely blurry:

Yup...all my lights look like pic #3.  Interesting....

According to the users of the official Flight Simulator forums, the blurry lights issue is not related only to ultra wide resolutions (e. g. 5900x1080) but affects all resolutions above 1920x1080, including 4k. The higher the resolution, the more blurry the lights are. 

Scenery objects remain sharp (check the structures at the right bottom corner of the screen shots I posted above), only the lights become blurry when the resoultion increases.

Thanks for responding guys - can confirm I can replicate the above - one monitor only has sharp lights and the further Nvidia Surround is used the more blurry the lights are.

And as a final example - image 1 is taken running FS 2020 on one monitor, then image 2 is when its stretched across three. Might help someone who thinks the sim runs normally with the blurred lights and actually using only one monitor vastly improves the experience...

Found this on the official forum. Consider voting for this issue if you are running a high res monitor:

I really expect this to be fixed without the voting, but some extra attention can't hurt.

This is definitely true. I play in 4K with ultra presets and the runway lights are especially big and blurry. This issue needs to be brought up to Asobo so that the lights can dynamically size according to the user's resolution. The lights are clearly optimize for 1920x1080 display, but not everyone is playing at that resolution. Has anyone submitted this to zendesk yet?

I will submit a ticket now.

Same issue here, I also posted on the FS site.

I too am having the same issue with a new Samsung 49" ultrawide.

New Samsung 49" ODYSSEY G9 Gaming Monitor LC49G97TSSNXDC (5120x1440) with Latest firmware update
NVIDIA 1080 Ti, with control panel settings under program at recommended values. HDR “on”, 120 Hz refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync “on”, Nvidia color depth settings at 8 bpc
2020 graphics settings at high end and ultra
I7-4790 @ 4.7ghz

As a note, my earlier 43" 4K Samsung monitor was crystal clear, but the refresh rate was 60hz, really had no problem with the monitor except it all of a sudden it quit working.
