Folks, I have a situation:

A while ago I had problems with the pixelated clouds. One of the solution was to change the config file and turn the sharpness and film grain off. I did so and the clouds looked better. But the picture itself became slightly blurry, especially small details. In the cockpit, for example, the small buttons looked a bit  blurry. The trees in the slight distance were a bit blurry. Overall the sim looked well but just some small details had lack of crispness. 

After update the config file automatically reset to default settings, the sharpness and film grain turned on, but the blurriness remained the same. 

Is there any way to get that crisp look back?

if you have set Sharpen 1 and Fimgrain 1 in the UserCfg.opt, it should be okay and look like this:

{PostProcess
Enabled 1
EyeAdaptation 1
ColorGrading 1
Sharpen 1
Fringe 1
LensDistortion 0
Dirt 1
LensFlare 0
FilmGrain 1
Vignette 1
LensBlurMultiplier 1.000000
FringeMultiplier 1.000000
}

If you are not satisfied with the result, you can go into the Nvidia driver settings for the Flightsimulator.exe and apply sharpen and/or filmgrain to your like (suggest you try 0.5 sharpen and 0.15 filmgrain in the beginning).

I have found the sharpening effect will also vary wildly depending on what resolution you are running at. 
As I run at 4k I find the default sharpening in the user config file to be way too much - it doesn't look natural.

I turn it off in the user config, then as Cargostorm advises above, try sharpening at 0.5 in Nvidia control panel.  Obviously adjust to your own liking after that, but 0.5 is a good place to start.  I don't use grain as I can't see much difference with it.

The benefit of doing it this way is that it is adjustable, whereas the user config file is either on or off with no adjustment in between.

Unfortunately it will not adjust in sim - you have to restart the sim between adjustments for it to take effect.  But then again, this is the same for the user config file anyway.

thank you for your comments. Forgot to mention I run Full HD display.    Well, somehow forgot about the settings in nvidia of msf.exe... Will report when is tested.

Thank you again, and happy flying, friends!
