July 30, 20214 yr Hello, one day before SU5 was released, I've made a bunch of screenshots at different locations to compare them with SU5 (mostly to compare FPS before/after). Here are some of them. Setup: - 2 different aircraft: C152 (steam gauges) and C172 (glass cockpit) - one shot in cockpit, one from external view behind the aircraft (no change of view direction) - one set of shots on the runway, one in the air - for the shots in the air, I activated "active pause" once the flight was loaded - time: 10 AM for every shot and every location - weather: always scattered clouds - track IR paused - graphic settings where unchanged in SU5, I've double checked this. As you can see, the lighting is quite different (much brighter in SU5) and it seems to me that the clouds are less detailed on some shots (not sure though). FPS have gone up quite sigificantely. This is is the first time I post screenshots here, so I hope it works as intended. First image is SU4 (upper right corner: "SDK update available"), second is SU5 System: Intel I7-6700K 32GIG RAM MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Edit: how can I post thumbnail of these picures instead of the original size? Edit2: smaller pics Edited July 30, 20214 yr by Seabhag66
July 30, 20214 yr Great comparison. Please post this in the official forums in the bug thread on the cartoony lighting because this needs to corrected - Washed out graphics post SU5 - Bugs & Issues / Install, Performance & Graphics - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums
July 30, 20214 yr I personally think the SU 5 screenshots look better than the SU 4 screenshots in every single case you've presented.

July 30, 20214 yr I prefer the SU 4 lighting. System: I ASRock X670E | AMD 7800X3D | 64Gb DDR5 6000 | RTX 4090 | 2TB NVMe | Seasonic Vertex 1000W I LG Ultra Gear 34 UW I
July 30, 20214 yr At least the clouds and whites in general are over done. MSFS2020, 24, Fenix A320, Ryzen 9 9950X3D, ASUS TUF RTX 5090 ,G.SKILL 64GB 6000MHz CL28
July 30, 20214 yr Honestly yours look good compared to mine. The colors since the update are terrible for me. I have green and purple around the edges of the clouds and the clouds just look generally washed out. It looks worse than FSX sometimes.
July 30, 20214 yr While I have difficulty to compare the present state with the previous one on my system from memory, I tend to prefer the lighting of the SU5 screenshots above, too. Anyway, thanks a lot to the OP for providing these.

The SU4 screenshots are too dark in shadowy areas. I think a lot of the controversy here is related more to monitor settings than to the Sim itself.

July 30, 20214 yr Especially the first two screenshots show everything what is wrong with SU5 regarding visuals. Thank you very much for your effort. Like stated previously, it would be great if you could post these in the corresponding MSFS Forum.

I think a lot of the controversy here is related more to monitor settings than to the Sim itself. it is not monitor settings as the washed out clouds with no detail also show up on Youtube videos and screen shots. They messed about with the SDR/HDR color grading and totally stuffed it up.

July 30, 20214 yr In those shots, SU5 is much better lighting, SU4 is too dark and it was a complaint of mine. The relationship between sky lighting and ground lighting has always seemed off to me, the clouds have too bright light reflection on the tops.
