December 10, 2025Dec 10 I know SU4 was about fixing bugs and not adding features but in all my flights so far 1 thing stood out: Lack of blurry ground textures. What is the thing you like most about SU4? ** only positive replies please ** dd Edited December 10, 2025Dec 10 by Sky_Pilot071

December 10, 2025Dec 10 Probably a tie between the night lighting and performance increases. I'm the kind of simmer who turns off the FPS counter and doesn't pay much attention, but the performance gains were obvious even without any benchmarks.

December 10, 2025Dec 10 For me the night lighting does not look like night at all. I have the feeling it got even brighter.

December 10, 2025Dec 10 It's been very clearly all good, very all good. Snappier menu loading, raw performance, freedom from stutters, fabulous clarity and lighting, it's just hard to believe how good it is. When something is already so good it's a challenge to make the next upgrade very visible as the improvements will be subtle, but they are most def there. SU3 has been grand, this just irons out some smaller wrinkles here and there. I found night lighting improved substantially w/ less sort of gaucheness in prior updates. It's really verging on perfection for me, within the bounds of what it truly is or can be given limitations inherent in the hardware & OS.

December 10, 2025Dec 10 Performance improvement and lack of stutters on final approach to complex airports are most noticeable improvements for me. Flew the Black Square A36 from LVFR’s KBWI to DD’s KDCA, using the ILS01 approach. I lock my frames at 60 fps on my 60 Hz 4K monitor. Smooth all the way, never deviating from 60 fps. Previously in SU3, on final to DCA, frames would rapidly drop to the 40s, and the approach became stutter fest all the way to the gate. So I am very pleased with this update. There were occasional fraction of a second delays when switching between cockpit and external views, but this seemed trivial on the whole and hardly immersion killing. The performance improvements more than compensate for this. Rich 5800X3D, 4080 Super GPU, 64 Gb DDR4, 4, 1 TB SSDs, LG 4K monitor Win 11
