Thats exactly correct, the worst thing they did with this sim is cross platforming it with xbox

Might be worth reading relevant posts and checking your internet and sim settings in view of your post 8 days ago:
I canât see how your unfounded "downgrade for Xboxâ suspicion could have made your sim run less fantastically since then.
As to your opinion about cross platforming with Xbox. I assume you mean it would have been better to develop a unique PC version and not take into account the sales revenue from the Xbox segment in the ROI calculation and therefore charge much more for the Pc version, perhaps 500$+ for the standard version because less PC users would buy due to the higher needed price. Makes sense to me too.
That is pure speculation.

âunfoundedâ graphics downgrade? They basically capped water reflections with a sledge hammer amongst LOD/draw distance reduction. You can not spit more heavy into PC players face by doing console downgrading.

I donât yet see any irrefutable evidence for a console downgrading - only rumour spreading.

Thank you.
I saw that too. If you got the fps display of dev mode on, you will see that changing the render scale changes the âgameâ resolution. It can be on any number but after restarting the game the value will still show up in settings but in fact you will see that the game resolution reverted to the original 100 render scaling.
The UI is really buggy.
I think itâs wise to be sceptical and demand evidence when approaching any kind of speculation. However, if you factor in what is arguably a long and controversial history, it would help a lot if Microsoft made a statement about this. Until such time there are still many of us who are happy to run Windows on our PCs, but stick with Sony when it comes to console gaming.
I disagree that Microsoft should have to make a statement every time any Tom, â â â â or Harry wants to enjoy himself by spreading rumours on a public forum or on Youtube.

They did make a statement about it. The question was raised during the Q&A video, and they stated with absolute certainty that console development would only improve the PC version, never degrade.
Well, not exactly. Iâve had the simulator say the bandwidth is insufficient and turn off bing data. The thing is, it wasnât. Still had over 300mbps to other sites. So I am guessing the latency that the sim detected was on their end, not mine.

But really guys, Iâm repeating myself but the dev said the downgrade wasnât voluntary and they would fix this.

It should depend where you are. Here few seconds from a departure from Courchevel, found this very nice (mix between high and ultra at 1080p)

Iâm using simulators from the begining and have the PPL licence from 1989. I like this game, with all the problems and bugs with the planes, but the graphics? the graphiiiicssss?? it is the only who makes diference with others. Please please check this matter, I know you can remake as before.
Thank you so much, merci beaucoup, muchas gracias
Itâs called the Singrada Familia, quite accurate actually.

So you spend a half hour caching that area⊠and it still looks the exact same way.

Disable online data streaming and fly it again. It looks better as long as itâs a documented Photogrammetry area, and you cached it in High Quality. You will probably need to get up close, and non-Data graphics related settings still matter - like building texturing settings - they get a vote too. Caching will not resolve LOD pop-up effects.
AFAIK Barcelona donât have photogrammetry in the Sim so itâs just the AI trying to do its best with what it have. I just did this after seeing your post @juanKapilot57(I live in Spain) :
Not that bad actuallyâŠ
