Works on 591.59.

I'm on 595.79. I have 2 monitors and Integer scaling is only available for 1. My main monitor is a G9 Samsung but there's no IS option for that, just the usual 3. Why would that be? Have done a quick sgoogle search but not come across an explanation that I can understand!

Not sure about that one.

Also this fix helps for folks with blurry vision to start with like me.  🥸

I find the Nvidia Sharpening too aggressive even at a very low setting, but all systems are different and there are many factors that does effect each and everyones result. My preferred setting is now to set Sharpen = 0 in my usercfg.opt in the postprocess section and I have enabled sharpening only in my monitors OSD menu. Before I had the OSD monitor setting at 0 and also at 0 when trying the Nvidia Sharpening and still it was too much for me. Searched a bit and someone suggested only via the OSD and that gave me a mild, but very good sharpening that didn't introduce shimmers etc.Very difficult to showcase how it looks, but this image below is the best I have for now as to showing what I see on my monitor. Image isn't grainy of course as this is, but sharpening is quite well showcased here.

Anyone who doesn't have the option in NCP needs to just do a quick regedit and it will be available afterwards.  The videos on this thread should explain how. 

I feel the blurry mush of terrain distant mountains even at high LOD and 4K more disconcerting than the overall sharpness.  The terrain resolution has clearly really been nerfed.

I know. The lengths people will go to to make their simulator look like a game always amazes me.  

Correct, I specifically avoid these types of tweaks because it looks nothing like flying IRL.

Looks more realistic on my end. 4k monitor.

Just for grins, I tried the settings and got exactly what I expected - the very definition of over sharpening.  Seriously, my eyes bled.

You can't add resolution or detail by sharpening, so it doesn't fix the problem people want to fix with blurry objects.  It just adds artifacts.  Clouds are not supposed to look like they've got embedded razors in 'em!

To each their own, you do you and all of that, but cheez whiz!  Now I've gotta go find some eye drops.

The fix is for 1080p resolution.  lol

Couple of things - not to belabor the point but for clarity.  

The "fix" is an increase in a sharpening setting, nothing else.  It doesn't really "fix" anything.  And "sharpening" is often misunderstood.  What sharpening actually does is increase contrast very narrowly along edges.  Our eyes really like contrast, and they really like sharpening effects so it's easy to get carried away initially.  Step back, though...

Sharpening cannot add any detail which isn't there in the first place, and cannot magically increase resolution.  Any claims that it makes a 1080 image look like 4K are, well, silly, as are any hopes that it will bring back detail removed by changes made by Asobo.  It simply makes existing edge transitions look more obvious, something which can be good in judicious amounts.  The problem is, take it too far, as this clearly does, and you get the appearance of edges where there shouldn't be any such as in soft clouds or, as I saw when I ran my experiment, start to give the illusion of textures in things that shouldn't have any.  Things like reflections on smooth surfaces which suddenly look textured.

And then there's just the whole hyper-sharp appearance in, well, everything.  As others have noted - it's just not a reflection of reality.

And again, for clarity, I ran my experiment at 1080 on a 1080 monitor, but the setting will have a similar affect at any resolution.

As I said - to each their own, but at least understand and recognize what is, and is not, actually happening.

Some of us really like the result is all that matters.  👍

On my end 4K looks great but the text on gauges is just not super crisp. There was just a slight softness to everything, and this tweak just sharpened everything up a bit. Great tweak for me. 

 

Excellent work, thank you for your availability.

That's all that matters at the end of the day.

But the claim that it 'looks more realistic' is logically wrong to anyone with real world flight time. The distant horizon, distant mountains and cities, etc all generally look somewhat fuzzy and undefined in all sky conditions other than severe clear and very specific sunrise/sunset settings.
