WU6 Artifacts floating in the air - Anyone?

[DMullert 216]

Hello Gang!

Here we go!!!  Artifacts floating in the air everywhere post update - Anyone notice those???  I wish I could post an image here.  Frames are also about 10fps lower than before.

I have a floating layer of nightlights. The sepia satellite imagery is on the ground correctly, but all of the street lights are floating in a layer above the ground, which seem to interact with the aircraft shadow/outline. Also they disappear at strange angles.

There's a few threads about it on the MSFS forums.

Asobo... C'mon...!

Edit: It's affecting XBox as well, apparently. Jayne's escalated it.

Reset graphics to defaults.

In my case, I have night artifacts if Render Scaling more or less than 100

[DMullert 216]

OK - I had the very same issue.  I corrected it by doing 2 things:

1. Render scaling - I had to set it to 100 (from 140), in order for the resolution to match my screen resolution of 3440x1440 - that fixed the floating lights issue.

2. The new pre-cache thing.........set it to Ultra.

Everything back as it was........including the frames.

Hope this helps!

Ahh. I just quit the sim. Time to load her back up and give this a try. But if the render scaling is causing it, they still need to fix it. Sadly, this might be just enough workaround for them to delay a proper fix until WU18, given all the other things that have been broken since release and not yet fixed.

(And I'm one of the optimistic ones...)

Yup had the same problem with the night lights. I had render set at 120 and as soon as I went back to 100 Im back to normal

same issue here, at night with render scale not set to 100 gave ghosting in VR as well.

issue has been reported to asobo and hopefully a patch forthcoming...
