What display setting controls “grainy, pixelated”

Recommended Posts

What setting controls pixalation in the graphics? It seems my sim has gotten really pixelated/grainy over the last couple days, I don’t think I made any major changes in the settings, but I’m noticing a lot more “grainy-ness” with trees and ground. 
 

it seemed ok when I first installed the hotfix #2 but not so much anymore.

I had the same after the SU5 update. In de Usercfg.opt i did set ColorGrading, Sharpen and FilmGrain to zero. Looks better.

Certainly sharpen and film grain set to 0 will help.  I didn't find much difference with colorgrading after the patches though it did help considerably before su5 was patched.

if I change these in the usercfg file, if I then go and play in the setting within the simulator am I right in saying that they will automatically revert back to default in the usercfg file?

I little thing I found out the other day, thanks to SU5 and spending hours to try and get pre SU5 looks. 

After HF2 all is good again with looks. Now, I have sharpening ON. But Sharping OFF for me is horrable, some say turn it off and set it inNCP. Well I found and I am sure most do also. My monitor also has a sharping setting. I found by turning it down by only 4 from 62 to 58 made the world of diffrence. VC are still super sharp becasue MSFS sharping is still on, but trees etc have lost that pixelated look it taken that edge off.

So simple and better as you can sit there and ajust to your own liking. Its also a realy fine ajustment. 

Enjoy!

Thanks,
Where do you access the monitor sharping setting, is this built into your monitor or is this controlled within msfs

Come to think about it, I did change the resolution within msfs recently, I’ll revert back and see if it helps.

Good to know, I’ll check to see if mine has it!

I am annoyed by this "sparkle" of buildings and trees in the distance.
If this has always been the case, you may not have noticed that, you were busy getting the simulator up and running.

Some say it does, some say it doesn't. On mine it doesn't revert back.

My samsung monitor also has a very agressive sharpening, so i lower it to 50 or so, set the sharpen to 0 in the cfg file and add a little bit of adaptativ sharpen in Nvidia, good results for me.
