Here, the overall image is pretty washed out, lacks contrast. Especially the cockpit panel. I don't know how anyone can say that looks good or realistic. It doesn't at all.

The cockpit panel does seem washed out. Do you have coordinates, time of day ,weather etc? Thanks

Yes, KVNY. Time 12:00 PM. Live Weather.

Slides, do a test here if you want. San Sebastian, Spain .43° 22' 49.10" N 1° 45' 59.30" W  Try to replicate those illumination conditions and chromatic richness...everywhere.

I think the additional post-SU 5 patch mainly addressed CTD issues, and maybe a few other minor things. The patch was really small and appeared to just be some code.

I try to understand but my CTDs are more frequent after that hotfix. And regarding the release notes of the hotfix, most of them was covered. (such as high temps,...)

LOL, even the cockpit coloration looks Xplane-ish XD

This looks absolutely terrible. I really hate this dull, washed out look in SU5. I really hope MSFS isn't going in the direction of X-Plane. That's one of the main reasons I left.

It's the menu and UI. If you can read it, it's fine. Can you?

No, it's so bad that small text is very hard if not impossible to read, this was perfectly readable in SU4.

Slides, if you feel that SU5 illumination on buildings, autogen and overall everywhere is not VERY different to SU4. Well, it´s your opinion and I respect it. Obviously, Su5 is not XPlane, but SU5 it suspicioosly brought me a deja vu feeling...

I do notice it being brighter overall but the thing is that I remember X-Plane being way more saturated and "game like" than real life, so the comparison is confusing to me.

Real life looks a lot more like MSFS then any X-Plane iteration I have seen in terms of lighting. Even SU5. 

Of course. But the point is not if FS is Xplane now, but the fact that it´s..getting there...XD

It was quite the opposite for me. It was extremely hazy, colors were drab, dull, and washed out. It looks like what SU5 in MSFS now.

It was definitely hazy but the colors were saturated and nothing like the more natural colors in MSFS, any version.

As always, I would love some screenshot or video proof of this. I remember x-plane very differently. The screenshot posted on this thread of x-plane validated my memory so far.

How can it be hazy and saturated? They're quite the opposite. When I say hazy, I mean unsaturated, a decrease in saturation.

Janov just posted a picture already.

I already did, even posted some coordinates and your opinion was reinforced by them, so what´s the point? I think I have clearly shown that there has been a graphic downgrade, but if you are not convinced, as I said, I respect you.
