Night lighting improved

Featured Replies

My first impression is that night lighting of the cities looks much better. Less noticeable sepia mask, more contrast, more vivid lights. Almost as good as X-Plane.

Haven't tried SU7 at night yet, but asobo have been improving it gradually so I'm not surprised

There was a slight improvement in the last update for sure.  Do you mean it's got even better?  Good news if so...

I noticed the upgrade to city night lighting also.

The night lighting is absolutely beautiful now after SU6. That's when they made big changes to it and I'm glad they are continuing to do so. Flying at night has never been so spectacular as it has ever before. There are still small things that needs to be furthered tweaked, such as those ugly square lighs you see on AI planes at a certain distance. Look absolutely horrible and ruins the immersion for me. They stand out more now that everything else looks so real. 

They need to work on improving airport lighting. Such as the lights being on during the day should be off. And at night airports are usually hard to spot. You don't see them stand out from miles away like you do in the sim now. At certain angles the taxi way lights/ run way edge lights seem to disappear, etc.

But the main thing that improved the overall lighting for me was they finally resized the individual light orbs so now it looks much more realistic for those who run at higher resolutions. Before the lights would looked like oversized blurry blobs everywhere.

I mean that's when I noticed the big and noticeable difference. Those changes were implemented in SU6.

I also noticed it and think it's amazing now. 

On the release notes they say "Improved night lighting by reducing the intensity of the distant sepia layer".
