September 16, 20214 yr After Zendesk tickets and several threads in the past year, MS/Asobo acknowledged the bug and hopefully they will work on it sooner or later.

September 16, 20214 yr I've noticed these Bug Logged thread titles appearing lately, like others I'm kinda hoping that SU6 & 7 are full of bug fixes.

September 16, 20214 yr They have actually mentioned it a few times during the twitch feeds, and said they hoped to fix it with the DX12 PC release. Not sure if they meant DX12 will fix it by itself, or they will do a separate fix alongside. Nice to have it logged formally though. I would love to see a formal mop-up of all the little bugs and issues over the coming months, before we move forward with more content again. We already have Reno air races and the Ju-52 coming, so that should keep us happy for a bit. I think it would be important to do all of the flight model fixes and improvements they can think of next (some are coming with Reno apparently), so that the third party developers don't have to keep going backwards to fix their aircraft ad infinitum. The graphics and other improvements can come later. Edited September 16, 20214 yr by bobcat999 Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

September 16, 20214 yr Bob- I’m glad to hear this. I’ve repeatedly asked @Asobo to patch the leaky ship before hoisting the Royals and Top Gallants, and been vehemently disagreed with by some. A solid foundation before raising more superstructure wouldn’t go amiss, methinks. C PS- I’m coming over for a patio swim soon Best- Carl Avari-Cooper

Not sure if they meant DX12 will fix it by itself, or they will do a separate fix alongside. DX12 will certainly fix it if DXR (ray tracing) is implemented. A DX12 wrapper will not fix it, as it didn't fix it on the XBox version. I understand the challenge of not being able to use conventional raster based reflections (the reflections would appear and disappear as you pan the view) but those Minecraft blocks are no longer acceptable after one year. I agree completely on the "patching before stuffing" concept but marketing sees it differently. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber
September 16, 20214 yr They’re acceptable to me. Using real reflections would be hella expensive on the GPU

Using real reflections would be hella expensive on the GPU That's what some of us saved our money (and still saving) money to be able to accommodate. If its too taxing on someones gpu then simply dont enable it and have something to look forward to when you can get a better gpu. For the others who can take it on.. fix it. No mediocrity.

September 16, 20214 yr Looks like "Low" setting got stuck - should be a straightforward fix As others mentioned already, the big game changer in reflection/lighting will come from DX12 update and MSFS incorporating new features offered by DX12
September 16, 20214 yr I have reflections off. I dont see the need to waste GPU cycles on stuff like this. Seas rarely look like mirrors like in the screenshot above. Expect a performance hit from the "fix". Edited September 16, 20214 yr by sanh

Honestly for the moment it would be enough to make the water not so flat when wind speed is below 5 knots. A minimal ripple would be sufficient to avoid that horrible effect. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber
September 17, 20214 yr It's probably due to a vast number of changes that every update introduces but they do break an unusual number of things with every update. What makes all of it even more strange is that most of the new bugs are very obvious and is quite a headscratcher how they "slipped" through beta. Tomaz Drnovsek My FSX Videos My AVSIM Gallery
September 17, 20214 yr Hello, I use this option in LOW, because in OFF it is not very pretty when there is water on the tarmac after a rain I agree that we rarely see a mirror effect on the sea, it's more the case for lakes.
