OK, nice graphics.

Once MSFS starts providing airplanes with cockpits where everything actually does something, as opposed to dummy control knobs and switches, I might be interested - not until.

Thanks, anyway.  Flying's not only about eye candy.

It already does.  Is your post from Sep 2020?

I am having a blast with the CRJ...I'm sure you would too 😉

Actually this beautiful video was. I re-watched it and can't seem to locate the tutorial on button pushing you are referencing. 

Maybe you accidentally posted your whine on the wrong thread? 

And yet there's a major weather update coming touted to be 'impressive'.

When is this?

I don't know, but I read of it here in two threads, so it's offcially...hearsay

At least you included "only" in there.

One could just as easily have said "flying is not just about clicking toggle switches without looking outside".

Both are important.

 

What sort of wizardry is this?… You must be running this through a NASA data centre because my clouds don’t touch this level. Very very nice sir!

I think it started in SU5 which is why the ALT and ATC is messed up currently.   The deffinately stated in a post (I believe) that the reason for ATC being in error was that they had changed much to do with the interpretation of the MeteoBlue data in a first phase of weather updates, but that had caused issues with ATC which was still on the old system and would be correted in WU6 in September.

Although, my memory is fading these days, but I made a note  of it at the time because of the ATC errors and the proposed fix

I am the only one who found that MSFS lost in graphics quality compared to the old version?

Much less beautiful clouds and much lower ground resolution at high altitudes ... to name a few ...

Yea my ground textures have always been low res and the mountains always look like word not allowed ;( It's rare for it to be nice an clean.

I was going to type 'this isn't beautiful', just like you asked us to do, but that would have been a lie, so I decided to say something a foreign language.

"Eye candy" doesn't capture what's critically important to what draws one into this activity as the phrase connotes a certain superfluousness.  Actually, the other sims can 'have nice graphics', as in pretty to look at, they just don't offer the sense of being in our world, instead a paint-by-numbers facsimile of very poor depth compared to the sense you have of flying through the real world one has in MSFS.   To me, MSFS simulates flight far better than what I get out of FSX/P3D, so I refer to the latter as 'cockpit simulators', and they're certainly good at that part, just not so good at flight simulation.

No, you are in good company, although there are users who are not seeing any downgrade and are loving SU5 for increased FPS and improved fluidity. The developers are working on some options to bring back the beauty of pre-SU5 graphics. Of course, at the cost of less FPS and maybe some stutters if we exaggerate with the sliders. But in this way everyone will be free to choose what they like.

School me about what's important in flying.  BTW, I'm a licensed instrument rated pilot IRL.
