This has nothing to do with the G2. I have 9800x3d as well and an RTX 4090 and I switched to 2D as I was fed up with VR and I see the same haze and fog on a 4K screen. In fact, I find it worse in MSFS2024 than in 2020. You may get better overall clarity with a Quest3 or PIMAX, but the haze will still be there. Btw, I did try a Quest 3 and a Pimax Crystal and I returned both of them for various reasons. The Quest 3 had a much bigger sweet spot, but I found the sharpness better in the G2 as long as you looked in the sweet spot. The Pimax was way too bulky and uncomfortable for me. So currently, I gave up VR and I am enjoying the freedom of flying without wearing anything. I am certainly not trying to discourage anyone from using VR, as VR does make flying more real and immersive. But for me, I am off VR for a while unless something new comes up which works better than the existing VR crop and which does not break the bank π. There are alternatives now, buy they require base stations as well and thatβs a definite deal breaker for me.

I agree to most of it. I really do not want to use filters, but I find that many times, all colors are washed out by the brightness of the screen, especially on late afternoons when the sun is low. All I wanted was to lower the brightness a bit just as it is in MSFS 2020. But I know that many people love the increased brightness in 2024. To each their own I guess π

Would be glad to hear how to βproperlyβ setup my displayπ€. The video does not show what my 52β TV looks like to me. What it looks like to you is what the recording is and when you play the video, what it looks like to you depends on what monitor or TV you are using to watch the video and what are the colour display settings in your equipment. Your experience and mine could be totally different, which actually makes my video fairly useless as far as the colours are concerned. What it does show are the differences in vegetation and especially the mountains and rocks which look much superior than the rocks in 2020, and that does not depend on where you play the video. One more thingβ¦I posted the video just as a way to show scenery differences and not to change anybodyβs opinion. Obviously, what you see depends on whether you play MSFS with no changes in your display, or whether you try to enhance the colours by playing with filters. In fact, for me, it was the first time I realized I could change the colours so drastically with the Nvidia app, for better or for worse.

You may not know this but frame generation does not increase frame rates in 2024 as it does in 2020, nowhere near twice the frame rate as 2020 does. Having said that, during the actual flying and not in the video, I did not notice any more stutters in either version. But then again, I have a very, very high end system and the settings were totally on Ultra, which is not something I would normally keep. I just wanted to push the system to extreme just for these tests.

Here is an updated video with no Nvidia filters. Surprisingly, there is a huge difference in MSFS 2024 but not as big a difference in MSFS 2020. Frankly, I'm no longer sure which version I prefer, the one with the filter, or the one without. But I'll probably not use the filter anymore as I think the one without seems more realistic, whatever that means π https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G8OrQrxOpQwjzqpNkbfMk0o44nCXY4A_/view?usp=sharing

The video I posted yesterday is not entirely accurate as far as the colours are concerned. A while back, I had added a filter with the Nvidia app and I forgot about it. When I removed the filter, the colours are significantly different and actually look more realistic in my opinion in MSFS 2024, especially the greens. Here a screenshot that shows the difference. I will need to redo my previous video without the filters. Sorry about that π³ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wARs9F5w8JV89dQyDBcUAMu4ml0618N4/view?usp=drive_link

Thanks but in my case, forcing DX12 solved the issue (thanks to jjeffreys) -

THANK YOU! πππ That did it. I can't believe I wasted that many hours because of something that simple to fix if you know the answer. Again, thank you so much for your help πππ -

I did find the executable and it would not start either from the exec of Xbox. Very bizarre
