Actually can someone post a pic of the "Less Fatal" night lighting ? 😁

I second this. Can someone upload a couple of night lighting pics, if am being picky from a couple of different altitudes. Cheers

Yeah, why not hang him while you are at it? It's a typo on a word not allowed texture in a word not allowed game! Frankly, this kind of attitude  is what is wrong in our community!

I wasn't being serious.

 

Though they also have the USS Nevada twice, one with the correct pennant number, and the other with the USS Oklahoma's number. So I guess they just copy and pasted and forgot to change the ship name.

I'm excited to see the high def mesh for Florida, now it will look really flat lol. 😉

Going to go check out the Salt Lake City area first I think...

Looks like TellTail Markers left in the Landscape by Ai - for purposes way beyond our time in the sim old Tuskin.

Don't fly near them my friend. Stay away. HELM HARD OVER!

You're in dangerland - getting close to the Orb - the arch-powerful o'er 'riding Ai intelligence that is the future. . .

GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.

(Especially in that piece of old sh*te that is supposed to be a float plane)

This is a float pane. . .

The music while watching the bar creep past is very soothing. In fact, I entered such a deep trance it was three hours later before I noticed the updates had been completed and my lumbago was cured.

Very humorous, made me laugh, that.

• Glad your lumbago's fixed 😄

Hard to say if its better.....maybe a little....but you still should not see taxiway lights from miles away and at off-angles...and the lead in lights....I could see the KLAS approach lights from LAX when I got high enough (ok....maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but frustrating that they can't seem to understand that blue blobs from 15 miles away is NOT how it is in reality!

Here is a departure from KLAX....should NOT be seeing those taxiway lights that good from this distance and angle!

I really appreciate the imagery and elevation update maps. Good to know where we can expect improvement. I’m quite amazed at the size of the area with updated imagery. I didn’t expect that. Judging from the update maps, the Seattle area and the Bay Area must look stunning now. Can’t wait to check them out. Hurry up you stupid internet!

Nice one 🙂

I was hoping USA update will fix CRQ..Nope. Bug was filed 3 month ago already

They won't be able to fix that until they bring in DX12....

That's not true. All they need to do is allow us to turn off the Sharpen and Film Grain options from within the UI and keep those settings active.  I manually set those to 0 in the UserCfg.opt file located in the local cache directory.  It makes a huge difference in cloud pixelization for me.

Once the changes are made, you do have to set the file to read only as the sim has a tendency to turn those back on if you try to make changes to the graphics settings.  Especially when changing between "modes" (low, medium, high end and ultra).

How about this Main Thread Optimisation they were going on and on about?

There are mixed reports on the official forums regarding CPU performance. Community managers are waiting on a response by Asobo to clarify whether it was included in this patch.

Guessing we’ll have to wait for a payware version to come out tbh

I’m seeing an issue where the arrow keys no longer move you around the cockpit and the Translate/position doesn’t show up in the bindings section.

Workaround: Set keyboard profile to “Default Profile” and alter the rest of your keyboard bindings after that.

Testing is aware of the issue and is looking into it.
