Another wasted weekend trying to make my sim look anything other than absolute **** after a SU.  
Can anyone fly next to Marseille airport and tell me if their sim looks this bad, or it's something on my end?

This is how MSFS 2024 is supposed to look.

    As a guy who spends every six months in Level D sims, the weather  in 2024 is miles better than how it looks in a real sim.  First off there is no live weather in a real sim, so it’s all presets.

    Having read a number of pages on this post, I often get the impression some people on Avsim are more interested in complaining for the sake of complaining.  I just did 4 flights since SU5 came ou

I've looked at this image for a while, and please do bear with me as I clearly don't have the standards that you do but other than blurry ground texture in a few areas....

Genuinely.. what's wrong with this picture? Personally I can't imagine sitting in VR, looking to my left and thinking, "man that looks terrible".

I just took this flying into Dubai and just thought "Wow", though clearly I'm missing something here.

Mind you im just running a humble 7800XT, 5800X3D and 32GB of RAM.

Ever been in a real airplane? This is how it looks from above most of the time.

I'm not one of those poeple who obsess over visuals, but on my system, this is a serious, very noticeable downgrade.  The ground at any kind of distance is very blurry.  It only looks normal at very short range.  If I'm in external view, the ground straight down and right around my a/c look fine, but any kind of distance (I'm talking 1-2 miles) is blurry.  Clouds are very muted and have no edge.  

Not sure if it is just certain systems or settings or what?  When I first saw the clouds I thought, "maybe those are just the conditions, sometimes clouds are muted like that", but no, it is every flight.  

It must not be impacting everyone, because if you saw what I saw, you'd notice it and not be downplaying it.  Screenshots don't even do it justice.

Everyone double check that your settings weren't reset, make sure dynamic settings aren't on.

Also try hitting default then redoing all your custom settings.

No soy una de esas personas que se obsesionan con las imágenes, pero en mi sistema, esta es una rebaja seria, muy notable. El suelo a cualquier distancia es muy borroso. Solo parece normal a muy corto alcance. Si estoy en vista externa, el suelo hacia abajo y alrededor de mi aire acondicionado se ve bien, pero cualquier tipo de distancia (estoy hablando 1-2 millas) es borrosa. Las nubes están muy apagadas y no tienen ventaja.

¿No está seguro de si es solo ciertos sistemas o configuraciones o qué? Cuando vi por primera vez las nubes pensé, "tal vez esas son solo las condiciones, a veces las nubes se silencian así", pero no, es cada vuelo.

No debe estar impactando a todos, porque si vieras lo que vi, lo notarías y no lo estarías minimizando. Las capturas de pantalla ni siquiera le hacen justicia.

Remember that not everyone is cut from the same cloth—there are those who think everything is wonderful from day one, and then there’s the rest of us mere mortals.

Thanks wiseguy.  I'll remember that.

Yeah all settings are the same.  Cache deleted, shaders etc.  Community folder.  All the usual stuff.  

I've gone as far as reinstalling 2020, as disappointed as I am with what's happening on 2024.  Hope they haven't nerfed that too.

What a complete overreaction.

Why?  I own the game.  It has been pretty good for a number of years.  I want to see how it compares at the moment.

2024 blows it out of the water. There's no point.

In most respects it's does, but with regard to the ground textures it doesn't. I do think that they've bought some extra performance at the expense of visual quality. There's no such thing as a free lunch and whether it was worth it is just a matter of opinion.

I don’t believe my feedback is strictly necessary, as I generally tend not to complain. However, the first thing I noticed—quite clearly—was a downgrade in texture loading across the three flights I’ve completed since installing Sim Update 5. I have not observed any improvements; on the contrary, there seems to be a visual regression.

Another point worth mentioning is an increase in stuttering, despite having performed all the usual checks I run every time.

I’m sharing this simply to contribute my experience to the broader discussion, so that those hoping things will hold up are aware that there may be a regression in the current state.
