I have no complaints about overall colours either but it seems there's a colour grading that leans towards yellow, like a mild yellow tint / hue. They really like to do this over at Asobo, in 2020 they had a very pronounced green channel, which exacerbated their 'green roads'.

Cloud gaming will give us more headaches in the future 

I was wandering around the UK countryside on a November evening, and there were crickets chirping. Crickets!

And I can't invert the mouse in first person mode. Come on Asobo, we're flight simmers, we all invert our mice in fps games 😉

That's the extent of my complaints so far, but I've been mainly bush flying in the C152 and loving it.

Oooh no, can’t agree with this at all. The colours are a triumph.

Edit: especially if you’re using HDR, they’re insanely realistic.

In certain situations maybe but with clear skies and time set to midday, looks pretty bad…

 

Edit: I just loaded the sim up and checked again and it does indeed look good, just how I recall it being in Alpha, I have a feeling it might have to do with the aircraft I was flying earlier.. and the bloom effect and eye adaptation in the cockpit. Or it could just be server issues. But the other items I still stand by. The evening street and city lights look great then when it turns to night they look terrible.

I wonder how many of these issues are streamed data being fed incorrectly to the simulator. Or missing data, etc due to some server overload.

I mod in a game called Assetto Corsa, now one of the things you can do in that is filters so you can change how the game looks in a myriad of ways, its not that big of a deal that MSFS can have different colours and lighting, what is a big deal is there isn't a setting for players to tweak the colours themselves...

Re selling a game for 60 odd quid because they changed the colours a bit is bizarre.

You nailed my experience. I have never experienced such a mess; been a flight simmer since the 80's. Might be time to find something else to do! Good luck folks!!

I've seen enough in the times where most things have worked to think that this is going to be a great sim. Might just take a while and at the mercy of highly inconsistent servers at the moment.

Yeah, the reflections can get in the way of the colours sometimes.

Your beta tester check will be mailed to you shortly. Thank you for participating, your patience is appreciated.

 

I am having some fun with MSFS 2024!
Nice flight yesterday after an interminable time getting controls to work

Took off to view the Grand Canyon but as I approached it -crash!

Same effect with 3 other planes 

Tried again this morning and all control bindings gone !

Closed sim -reloaded -all controls (Hotas Flight Controller) now working and I am in the Grand Canyon flying along admiring the terrific scenery

Teething problems!?

However I have MSFS 2000( P3DV5 and X Plane12) if I need to fly while MSFS 2024 has a “wobble” 

I am a scenery buff and the improvements in MSFS 2024 means I will persevere 

Onwards and upwards !

I don't pray for a user manual. Just a Controls Options manual.

I had to back up every profile. Ignore the bottom of the 3  boxes and the top Universal box, and just use the Airplane box in the middle for profiles. And back up everything each step. Eventually all my controllers got assigned like I wanted. I can't say how it was just trial and error and change planes all the while to see if the settings carried over to the other planes.

There are advanced options like repeat when pressed or non repeat.

There are YT videos about this, none of which helped me. It was just trial and error. A simple 4 or 5 page manual would show us how it's all supposed to be done.

A working SAVE function would presumably be the ideal solution? Seriously, the thought of messing about for ages with control settings, and then loading the simulator the next day to find that all that work has been dumped in the garbage bin would drive me nuts. Basic stuff like this should work right from the start. And please...don't come back with something as inane as "it's only day 5"

Wanted to give it a nother try. Just getting worse. Will wait for yet another "we are providing more server space" tomorrow.

Have a look in the Controls Settings..  I had a similar thing happening and found that the hat switch had multiple conflicting assignments..

YES - I had previously dealt with that issue and deleted the conflicting assignments.  But, now I see they have returned.  But the controls page shows my custom profile with no conflicting assignments.

They made a big blunder with that system. Apparently there's mouse acceleration baked into the cockpit view, for whatever reason. So the mouse and some hat switches might accelerate the faster you move / longer you hold. Also the 'freelook cockpit speed' slider in options controls both the mouse and the hat switch. My mouse is very fast, so I turned that down, which resulted in the hat switch view being ungodly slow. So I had to turn that back up which means my mouse look not only flies around, neigh on uncontrollable, it also does these massive "flicks" due to the baked in acceleration. So sometimes I'll suddenly do a 180* by moving my mouse a few inches fast. 

 

YES - I've experimented with all that you suggest.  Sometimes the hat switch works as it should, the next time I start the sim it works some other way.  At times during a single session the actions caused by the hat switch are fast and sometimes slow.
