The quality of the clouds?

Featured Replies

Is it just me who thinks that the quality of the clouds has degraded after the patch? They look more like medium on ultra settings after the patch.

You're not alone, in VR they look exactly as you said, Ultra looks like Medium pre update yet there's still an FPS hit (Live Weather, not tried custom yet)

The clouds are dismal now - poorly defined, incorrect shading, no sense of volume. This is a huge disappointment!

But - I am seeing a nice increase in FPS running almost everything Ultra - even landing at KSAN with the LatinVFR addon.

No, not just you.  They are the one area of the sim that has very noticeably degraded. It's the only part of the graphics changes that feels like a big step back for me.

I hope we get the opportunity to improve image quality in the future, I'm willing to sacrifice 10 fps for better quality.

It may be the change in rendering appearance is down to Xbox using DX12. Once PC is on DX12 we may get the extra fidelity back.

I certainly hope so Donka. They look terrible since the update. Asobo promised us that they hadn't downgraded anything, but it seems clear that they were being somewhat untruthful.

Asobo did mention certain things should be different under DX12 including the likes of the grainy shadows that we see on aircraft and in clouds. I'm wondering if this is related i.e. a different way to render detail using DX12 so what we had on PC has been removed as part of the core build and it will improve in DX12. I guess seeing how clouds look on Xbox X would give us a better idea.
