I always thought that 2024 looked somewhat cartoonish (polaroid) compared to 2020.

That is more some areas having poor textures, rather than any lighting or colour issue - 2020 suffers the same thing.  However 2020 has an incorrect lighting model, which adds to the poor textures in some areas.  2020 is well known for having a greenish tint.

I have no filters, no system colour adjustments at all - tell me where the polaroid look is.

Simple, understand now?

This Video I recorded replicates real life perfectly - the closer to the sun the eyes look, the more washed out the colours are.

 

Some here are talking about oversaturation in 2024 and I just don't see it... this was the full re-recorded video the OP posted without Nvidia filters: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G8OrQrxOpQwjzqpNkbfMk0o44nCXY4A_/view?usp=sharing

I see more natural/realistic colors on the left (2024) and no oversaturation, and I see 2020 on the right with a yellow/green tint (this is on my 100% SRGB monitor).

I know you will go to any extreme to defend 2024 but you totally miss the point. Your pupils OBVIOUSLY don’t adjust to the brightness put out by 2024 on a monitor, but they DO adjust when you are out in the real world in bright conditions. In conclusion the washed out brightness in 2024 is not what you see out in the real world. Simple, understand now?

You're talking to brick walls mate, give up!

The rest of us know exactly what you mean, there's threads on the official forum trying to explain to Asobo what "eye adaptation" means, one day they'll understand hopefully.

Your eyes have never squinted, because your pupils can't reduce enough for the light levels at dawn and dusk?    What are you two suggesting - MS/Asobo should allow full colours right into a blinding sun?

I am not sure what the issue in these backlit condition is. @MarcG @desbean do you think, real world is also bugged?

Or, can you explain in what way 2024 is wrong and this real world image is right? Are you even able to point out a difference between real world and 2024? There for sure is a difference between real world and 2020.

I'm one those who think both versions of MSFS are oversaturated. Like all of us, I've been up in small and big planes and the haze and atmosphere really wash out the colors. It's nice to look at the pretty colors in MSFS and 2020 looks different from 2024, but the real world is much less colorful except on the few perfect low humidity days when everything works out, and even then the trees blend in more and the meadows are less colorful.

2024 does reduce colour saturation in bright conditions, especially in hazy/misty conditions.  I think you have hit the real issue which is not enough haze/humidity/dust  in the sims!

Like I witte before : MSFS 2024 is too saturated compared to MSFS 2020.

The first time I started it I though that I had bought the MSFS 2024 Polaroid Edition.

However, with NV filters + custom NV CP settings you can correct it a lot.

Here I also have tuned the displays settings.

So you can create the look that you like …

I only use the VC view.

I'm referring directly to the incorrect use of eye adaptation in MSFS24, see here;

Slightly different NC CP Color settings and it looks much better already ( no Filters yet )
