Pixelated Clouds

[109Sqn 1,551]

I've noticed pixelated clouds making a return lately, even in Ultra. I'd hoped I'd seen the end of that happening.

Try, in notepad open file named UserCfg.opt

Disable  Sharpen and FilmGrain - save changes and run msfs.

Yep, thanks. Figured it out. Wonderful modification. Don't know why I didn't do it ages ago; Prop blur gone, grainy engine cowling reflections/ wing underside graininess gone. Clouds - lovely, etc.

You might need to mark the file as "read only" to prevent the file from changing back the figures to default.

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

It was AppData>Local>Packages>Microsoft.Flight Simulator_*************>LocalCache>UserCfg.opt for me, but I have my (MS Store) MSFS installed on my E: drive. I backed up the original first by adding ".ORIGINAL" to the file extension.

I miss a more distinct variety of clouds w/ sharper edges, and various cirrus patterns, but outside of that it's pretty amazing.  This is a favorite screen capture over my home town area of Denver Colorado:

No need.
