Guys, it´s not a big deal to accept it, you wil get benefitted too. Say a little thank you to the whinners. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/regarding-your-feedback-upcoming-hotfix/436063

Possibly when using a Xbox controller for ...everything. But after seeing so many bugs a dot,....well, is a dot. An easy fix I´d say XD

Tuskin38, I really value your efforts to show us that the sim is still great. And somehow, still is. But man, downgrade and a plethora of bugs are officially acknowledged by Asobo. Stop it. It´s ok.

It might be me, but as I understand it, there will be a hotfix in 3-4 days, probable subsequent ones and definitely one with WU6.

Oh lord, please...,let it be true this time. On the preview pics alone I can inmediatelly tell that milky shade look, lightning downgrade and autogen degradation has somehow gone. Anyway, not starting a war now as this looks like a happy moment, but after seeing all those changes incoming and the acknowledgment from Asobo that indeed it was bugs and bugs and bugs..., and after 3-4 days of telling people that the degradation was there, I kinda feel relieved. I wasn´t dellusional after all. I feel hope again,I was starting to lose it, I really was. Human nature anyway, from pure hatred to unconditional love. Sim addicts we are XD

Anisotropic filtering helps a... Tiny bit, as everything else does now.

I am starting to think that the tonemap that asobo released makes all tweaks, tricks futile. Unless they fix it for us, we are bound to buy HDR screens. SDR looks awful compared to HDR, but I understand that some guys are enjoying running medium settings at 60 frames now.

Texture Resolution Low, after a restart. No magic tricks here, what is shocking is that Ultra or Low are basically the same, what leads me to believe that we are ,in fact ,with almost if not the same graphic configuration possibilities as an Xbox.

LOW Texture Resolution, are you serious? Tried to swap it with Ultra to see the difference? I think we might getting into placebo territory ....

At 1000 feet the degradation is barely noticeable, of course, apart from that horrible washed out tonemap they are using since the XBox/HDR was implemented. I guess XBox users see an incredible saturated Hollyuwoodesque vibrant scenery(gamey and unrealistic, but...you know, console market) but we are left with a milky dull shade everywhere.

I did the Anisotropic filtering 16x trick in Nvidia, and well, still looks almost the same. I surrender to reality, this is what we have. Period. I hope tomorrow , Thursday, Asobo releases some kind of Q&A, announcement or statement of some sort regarding all this.

Why do we have to get personal? Man, this is not needed.

Those were stable to a much bigger extent, they were lacking features, but they weren´t releasing hotfixes and patches for 1 year and stiil being unstable.

To me it´s not sharpness it´s resolution,reflections and shadows.

Are they saying the Texture Resolution settings have been completely messed up? Are we supposed to fly with LOW now? Or is it just the previous step to enable Ultra again?

Yep, I miss it so much...

The first one I don´t know. The second one is Albania, a shockingly good looking country pre SU5.

Um, the more people flies and experiments with the sim, the more evident it will be. I get it, the Frames factor is a big dopamine kick but...well, I even voted "fine and after some tweaks", silly me. when I should have voted "Obvious Downgrade and waiting for Asobo to say something", but well, the Poll was released only after 2 days of SU5 and a huge negativity surrounding the sim. But, whatever, I posted my previous SU pics and my SU5 pics several times in this thread, the resuts are there to see, which I find insultingly obvious. But each to his own. P.S: I am starting to feel like I am crazy, dellusional or something...XD

A SU3 screenshot, several months ago....No LoD editing, High/Ultra, 1920x1080. Sometimes is good to remember where we come from. ...and a SU2 one, that´s me enjoying the Discovery Tour... THAT was a haze I loved. Autogen buildings had distinctive features an colorization.

These were at dusk, were the " changes" are even more apparent and painful. All my previous flights were at better lightning conditions, so I failed to notice this until now. The moment that Hollywood plastic light (called sun since SU5 ) vanishes, everything is dull and lifeless.Try to replicate this on SU4 even at Low/Normal settings. Whoever acknowledges this as "just performance" changes and LOD Optimization is, well, ...a happy simmer, let´s leave it at that. XD

Here, hazed ultrarealistic colors in SU5 and superb autogen. EVERYTHING ULTRA. Double checked. Asobo, dream high.( You can click on the pictures for a HD ultradefinition Blurryness fiesta, notice how airplane details still feel kinda good, it´s the sim itself what was horribly downgraded)

Juts to let you know. There is not a single payware airplane,except the DC6 by PMDG with the complexity and realism of the A2A planes right now.

The "when not looking" part is true, I give you that.

I hever saw that poor autogen illumination before. Just saying.

@Tuskin38, are you saying that Asobo just improved performance and nothing else? Like that, with a magic wand? And making XboxS running it at 30 frames on 4k screens?
