I can now confirm that the settings do not even stick when returning into the main menue. Ridiculous. I did switch some single settings now, it seems that switching buildings alone from ultra to low and back does already help, surprisingly only for the one building in front (as depicted in the screenshots). Still need to find another airport where this effect is visible...

No as when Devgrp posted his finding people thought I was using wrong setting. Thankfully very kind people here like you harry did tests and saw just the same as me.

Like Chris says, setting just dont stick, not once have i seen EGNX in true Ultra but then I went from LOW to ULTRA, it seems you Have to go from MED to Ultra..../sign.

If someone could report our finding it would be great, as a lot of you know by my spelling and gammer, am dyslexic so if one of you could to a report please do so.

Thanks again to everyone who has helped to duplicate my/our finding.

Hi David + 1 to the findings 

I cant tell any different from Lo to Ultra

How do you actually end up with Ultra settings ? i havent seen the windows in the buildings at all

I think i am on low/medium texture resolution and buildings

Thanks

Temporary workaround: Load a flight, click ESC and go to GENERAL OPTIONS → GRAPHICS. Now choose the Global Rendering LOW-END profile, click Apply. Then choose ULTRA again, click Apply, GO BACK and resume your flight. Now your visuals are indeed on ULTRA and you should see much more details.

Unfortunately, this workaround has to be applied every flight even if you didn’t leave the sim but only went back to WORLD MAP to choose another location or flight.

It worked , 

A a really important side note my Geforce Experience was updated a couple of days ago and it had the "automatic game performance" activated.

When i  disabled it and restarted the sim the values from just precise these from Geforce experience emerged at startup.

 

Changing the values before starting a flight did not solve the issue . Just have to follow your workaround - Thanks

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Luckily I was already tap dancing on one leg while holding the Flightstick behind my back like Jimmy on the guitar, so this shouldn't be too much of a stretch to add into my workflow 🙂

 

That sounds rather like a server issue than anything else. The graphics change might initiate some sort of reload. So is this only at EGNX or has someone found out a general problem?

You're absolute right!

I paid for MSFS 2020 Premium Deluxe and, in addition, more than 3.000 € (about 3,500 US dollars) in hardware to adapt my PC to the new Flight Simulator.

And what I have now?

CTDs and visual degradation!

I'm not happy with it!

I dont see any difference, but most important the game runs superb now, no stutters and great fps, could not be happier,

Could be, but I don't believe. The question should be why the visual downscale happens when I change the flight via World Map or restart the sim. I will check other airports too. It seems that KFHR is not reduced in details, but that could be because it is a De Luxe advanced airport of MSFS while EGNX is a default airport. I we don't see visual degradation at a specific airport it does not mean that other ai generated autogen buildings are not affected.

I'm guessing this maneuver doesn't change coloration (vis a vis HDR), does it?

I just dont understand why they havent given the user the ability to choose this for themselves. The original buildings exist somewhere, so why not let us decide what we want to see.

Because THEN PC users would have a better looking SIM, then there would be chaos in XBOX World, THAT's WHY lol

I have just reported our findings at the official MSFS forum https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/visuals-dont-stick-on-ultra/432546

I hope I've described it exactly enough. If not, you may correct me over there.

 

Thank you so much Harry.

It truly seems now the other guys have run the test, that this is a true problem that hopefully Asobo can fix ASAP.

Many thanks to everyone for there time and effort.

I only see this at default airports as I always use paywear addon airports for flights. Not tried another airport other than EGNX. Am away from PC for a few day’s. I always use EGNX as it’s my local for all tests.

I can also confirm to the method that Harry posted above. The same thing happens to me. Once loaded at the runway, then going to my settings, switch my graphic preset from ultra to low-end, hit apply and save, and then switch it back to ultra, hit apply and save, go back into the sim, and you can clearly see the windows and proper textures on those 2 buildings on the right of runway 27 at EGNX. It's like our settings are somehow not getting applied.

Just did a landing and the airport had zero buildings until rollout and then they all popped up!

I almost completed a flight from KDEN>KRNO in the Longitude, after doing Harry's Trick.  I must say from clouds to terrain it all looked pretty SU4.  Unfornately it CTD on final.  There is something wrong with altitude in that ATC directs me to expedite my climb or descent X when I'm at X.  Seems its 200 to 800' off depending on altitude.  Too early to say for sure but w/ the EyeAdaptation=0 plus some fine tuning w/ NCP's desktop color interface it seems quite good again.   I hope it holds up because I spent a good 6h today trying to get the PMDG NGXu off the ground for reasons I won't go into, and in fact never did!

I did a flight last night in the A32NX. Took off from YBBN. At about 10000 feet the ground was extremely blurry.  No objects just very blurry textures. The view forward was blinding white light and washed out. I was just thinking this is really bad.
