Please fix the AI nav lights, they look like squares

Featured Replies

Not sure if Asobo knows about this, but ever since the launch of the sim, AI nav lights out in the distance look extremely blocky and unrealistic. I took a snapshot of what they look like. This is what they look like at 4k running Ultra preset.

They look good at my meager HD settings with 19xx times something. You may want to open a zendesk ticket, this here is not the right place for „Asobo/MS please fix xyz“ if you feel it‘s wrong. Some people even complain that Barra has no runway*

From my understanding the lights are fixed and not dynamic. Meaning they look optimal if you run the sim at 1920x1080. Going up in resolution the worse it looks. I believe this issue has been discussed before. But I will submit a ticket nonetheless.

Can anyone else who run the sim at resolutions higher than 1920x1080p confirm that the AI plane lights look worse as you progressively bump up the resolution?

Does nobody here have this issue? Specifically those who run at 4k. I am curious to know if you're seeing square AI plane lights as well in the distance. Looks extremely bad and unrealistic.

I have the exact same issue and I run the game at my monitors native resolution of 2560 x 1440.

I run at 2K and yes the AI aircraft lights look square.

Just like I suspected. Asobo needs to fix this issue for those of us who run at resolutions above 1080p.

This still isn’t fixed I take it, was it ever raised an issue? 

There is a thread in the official MSFS forum https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/square-looking-navigation-and-strobe-lights-on-ai-planes/443009    but unfortunately with only 20 votes.

I hope that the number of votes is not the only criterion for fixing an issue ...

This unfortunately happens regularly w/ various threads posted there for things I would have guessed would have been no-brainers to vote on but alas, not the case.   Sometimes they don't look this way and are sharp but most of the time they look really fake and unrealistic.  This sounds like a total piece of cake to fix so perhaps some day they will deal with it.

Did you vote. I saw that we got six more votes the last two hours. That's still not much.

The lights look better with SU9 beta for me at 2K.

Do you still see the blocky look from longer distances?  Sometimes it's not that way but from certain angles and distances it's just really goofy looking, the blocky part.
