Wow, that looks a lot like X-Plane now. 

That may be why many like it as it's familiar.

So this dramaqueen thread about FATAL night lighting has gotten 13 pages of replies, while my thread about fundamental flaws in the navigation system in the sim had to be pulled by its nose to get anywhere. I see. 

So you jump into a thread that has nothing to do with your issue just to complain that your issue didn’t get the attention in this community that you thought it should?

Who’s being the Drama Queen here?

Awesome post pretty popular you are 🙂 thats not for a 4k tv - which is what I use now so things may be different now using your settings 

Each sim has its own approach. From my personal perspective, I don't really consider any of them to be necessarily more "real" than any other. Mostly I consider them to be simply artistic choices from the various sims artists/developers.

Yet here we are. Usually when we have kind of finicky discussions like this, its former and current pilots driving it, and as usual, whatever one says is usually instantly contradicted by two others.

Eventually Asobo will run out of time and patience to be fiddling with this; especially when its almost certainly only a few hundred people worldwide on forums like this who have a problem with it, rather than the hundreds of thousands (or millions) of regular users who simply think its pretty. (if they think of it at all)

 

 

 

And compared to the above, THIS is what we complained about until they switched it. Be careful what you ask for!!!

I think the last post has pretty much nailed it🙂

 

the night lighting on the ground is better now but i still feel they need to make the atmospheric lighting alot darker so it looks like night so you can hardly see the aircraft like in real life.

I see self-reflection isn’t your strong suit😉

Just use geforce experience lots of settings to play with - that will change to your liking - not all monitors are the same

GeForce Experience optimizations typically favor frame rate over image quality in my experience.  And MSFS does need much over a consistent 30fps to be enjoyable, so I usually keep it turned off.

Won’t work for anything above 5k ft. These clips and closeup shots posted don’t tell the whole story which is clear (or not pun intended) from FL350

Do you mean this video was taken prior v1.10.7? In my experience the only way to get such lighting in FS2020 was to disable ground "something" in the developer menu so that only 3D lights were visible. Otherwise, most areas were flooded with the Black Marble ground texture and its blooming artifacts spreading over large areas around the location of the emitting lights.
