After uninstall / reinstall hell I only managed about 30 mins last night after work to try out the new sim but I think I can see both sides of this. Overall, just concentrating on the flight everything was so smooth and very satisfying. But when I looked closely at the distant tree line, the edges in the cockpit, the pop in when panning, things definitely seem to have been downgraded. I was running at RS 120 though…

Overall I think a step in the right direction but I do wonder if we were missold the improvements as just improvements, not trade-offs.

Sliders for PC please, Asobo.

 

Mine looks bad too, exactly as someone said, it looks like water spilt over a watercolour painting!

If the real world was that dull and colourless then no-one would bother taking up photography. The buildings and towns are hazy and blurred now, not sharp and crisp like they were before.

I even upped my settings from High to Ultra to see if it returned the game to SU4 crispness and it did not. How can SU4 in High be better than SU5 in Ultra?

I fly on a 55 inch 4K TV screen. Maybe some of those denying there is any issue sim on a small monitor in 1080p and might not notice the difference but as you said, it looks awful compared to before and impossible not to notice certainly in 4K with 80 rendering scale (or even 100). I tried all manner of settings and can't get rid of the aliasing or blurriness.

Very disappointing to say the least.

This is really weird, but I just had a CTD and trees were suddenly out to the far distance, even on hills.  Everything looked far better.  All I did was change render scaling to 130%, got the CTD, rebooted and set render scaling back to 100 and I suddenly get a sim with no blurries, aliasing, slight shimmering and trees out to the distance.

Has anyone tried compensating with sharpening in NVCP? Not going to be able to try for another 10hrs…

Could you please upload some screenshots for us ? 

Yes I can but for some reason whenever I take a screenshot in HDR and viewing it back, they look extremely overexposed.

Because the a majority of photographs you see are all post processed and enhanced. The real world is not super saturated.

I'm also seeing blurry runways. Even if I'm parked on the start of the runway, the runway becomes a blurry mess only half way down. 

I used to have this issue in VR, but never in normal PC mode. 

And it's not the settings.

My own eyes do work quite well, despite my age, and the real world is a lot more colourful than this sim is currently 'simulating'!

Then perhaps maybe it's your setup. Cause for me it looks amazing.

Weird. Must be a bug somewhere. Maybe it forces the sim to load in new textures or something.

Disable the HDR, do the screenshots and enable it again after...

But then it won't look as amazing. I really wish you could see how it looks in HDR. 🙂

Yes it probably is my setup because I do not have HDR capable screens but I cannot disable HDR in the sim - or via Windows 10! 

I tried already, I own the Samsung Q90R 55 inches, which is a nice display 

Clouds look awful, color banding, no matter what 

The MSFS 2020 future for PC users, looks imo, dark

I had that today flying out of Norway, terrible looking clouds, with banding. Then they threw in this ridiculous looking rainbow which made it look even worse.
