Yes, please. I would love to see that too
I thought it was a bug on my side…
Please Asobo you can do a quick fix!

Most the night lighting looks pretty good but the perfect super bright highway lights look ridiculous! The street lights look like they are aiming up at the sky. Highway lights have covers over them so maybe tone the " ufo light orbs down" but increase the luminesce of the street itself.

That’s a fond memory of flight training at night. From above, street lights appear like a string of pearls - a small darkened dot in the center with an inviting glow all the way around it.

Thats a good idea make them more like a halo ring look
This effect was “cool” some years ago - (maybe it was orbx that debuted it?) - the orbs that create the streelights/environment lighting. However I would have thought that by now Asobo would have developed some library “covered light” object. In reality, all of these lights cast down and outwards- not upwards (which is what the orbs do- they are simply points of light). When flying in real life at certain angles you’ll see a “point” of light as the angles of view match up, but that isn’t a uniform experience.
Let’s fix the floating orbs!
Absolutely agree. 95% of what you see from the air, is the result of light cast on the surface below the illumination point, not the actual light bulb itself. Because of this I’ve alway been a bit confused why so many like the orbs, when it’s generally quite unrealistic.

Brief description of the issue:
This is an old problem. The street lights on the road on the ground do not have poles. When flying at low altitude, the street lights are a circular light body floating in the air. No matter how you look at it, it is very discordant. It feels normal in the air. .Once the road is close to the ground, it will be very cluttered and unrealistic. Another problem is that after this SU10 update, when flying close to the ground, the vehicles on the road become floating in the air. But it is normal from the air.
Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:
This is the real road scene of x-plane. I won’t take screenshots of the MSFS2020 road. It’s really ugly… And most of the vehicles are driving on an incorrect road plane.

Something I really like about X-Plane is that all the light sources on the ground are coming from a physical object like a light poll, houses, etc. In msfs it all comes from a orb. If possible light orbs should be removed from the sim all together and be replaced with actual objects.
