December 6, 20214 yr One of the best features I've discovered thus far in the just-released public beta is that flickering of the ground scenery, especially around buildings, now appears to be almost entirely gone. I made no adjustments to my settings, so I'm ascribing the vast improvement to the quality of the update. I didn't realize what a difference this would make to immersion. But it does. Good job, Asobo. Elsewhere I've posted about the cloud-altitude problem. But I felt the positive news -- and there's much of it -- deserves a thread of its own.

That was most probably a manifestation of the reduced color depth which is crucial for a good antialiasing. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber

Yes, my thoughts exactly, as the effect seemed to appear around the same time as the lower colour depth / colour banding in the clouds. All good anyway! For the beta testers (which isn't me, yet), a good way to test the colour banding issue is to look at the reflection of the sun in calm water. Last time I looked it was really bad, like the sun had a rainbow halo around it in reflection. hopefully it is gone or very much reduced now. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

Last time I looked it was really bad, like the sun had a rainbow halo around it in reflection. hopefully it is gone or very much reduced now. Yes absolutely. The halo around the sun is not there anymore and the sky color degrades from blue to white/yellowish/orange (depending on the time of the day) gradually without bands. You can see that the color banding is gone from the sun and its reflection even on the world map. I am talking about SDR of course, in HDR the issue was not there anyway. If you have space on your SSD and want to join the beta testing you can buy a Game Pass for 1 $ and join the testing from the XBox insider app. Edited December 7, 20214 yr by MrFuzzy 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber

Be careful because, if you ever bought anything on the MS Markeplace using the Steam version of the sim, you'll have to buy it again in case you switch to the MS Version of the sim.

TrackIR for me is back to where it was pre SU7.. so it seems are the majority of people on main forums.. only seen one dissenting voice, and they seem to be having the same problem both with and without TrackIR which implies, it's not a TrackIR issue.

Andddddd that why I never buy from Marketplace so my two installs can use the same addons, all from one place using addon linker 🙂 I have one installation on Steam, one is straight M/S so I can also participate in testing when they don't allow steam accounts. Currently my MS install is being funded by a $1 gamepass, so it's only taking up space.. never cash 🙂 Edited December 7, 20214 yr by Moria15 System specs...

December 7, 20214 yr Does this mean we can back down the resolution scale? I currently have it set to 130. Hopefully I can bring it back to 100 now if the shimmering/flickering issues have been resolved.
