Blurry lights and cities during night flying

Featured Replies

Now i might have become too spoiled by the great graphics of MSFS, but I havent seen anyone else have the same blurry night lights that i have. (see pic)

I have all settings on ultra and terrain level of detail set to 200. 

Is this something that only I see, or is it a common problem? Closer to the ground I see it more clearly, but on cruise its almost like its not loading in properly.

Any help is appreciated 🙂

It's kind of normal...depends how high you are.  They use the 'sepia mask' to give a light glow out in the distance and they have improved it since earlier versions.  Where are you in that pic?  I know there were still some issues in certain areas with desert textures where the mask is still showing up close to your aircraft.

Two possibilities come to mind and I mention it because I tried #1 based on a recent thread about this:

  1. Did you possibly urn Sharpen to OFF (0) in User.Cfg?   I tried this recently and fortunately I remembered I did it because everything got very blurry and I truly thought something had gone drastically wrong, then remembered I had turned Sharpen to OFF (0).
  2. Do you possibly have GeForce Experience running and used the 'Optimize' button for MSFS?  If so that just turns sliders way down!  Real useful optimization--NOT!

It's normal I'm afraid, just how the night lighting is rendered in MSFS. 

The astonishing thing is most people think it looks great, or have no idea that it only looks like that above FL150. 

I’ve just done a night flight and I can confirm that it’s absolutely awful. 

Although there have been some improvements, it still doesn't look very realistic from high altitudes. I flew over Paris last night at 35000 feet and what I saw looked very different from what I see in the sim. What worries the most is that night lighting has disappeared from the wish/bugs list. The last time I saw it in early February it said "fixed".

Try adjusting your display distance from the field to 300 or more and see what happens.
