Sorry for the delay. I am not sure what providing a pic with no banding would prove other than it’s not the monitor. I suppose my monitor (not high-end) could be smoothing the boundaries between color bands. Good for me!

This thread is about the colour banding (which affects the entire scene, including the clouds), for cloud grain/pixelation issues use the following thread instead.

Now everything is fine with the color
Thanks Asobo for fixing this. I am very happy about it. Already checked and I have no limit of joy

i hope it will improve clouds colors also
can you give us some screenshots about clouds and color banding ?
I trust your judgement so you having ‘no limit of joy’ is hugely encouraging. I’m starting to itch for this mini-release now. Been flying very very little of late in anticipation of fixes.

I’m really looking forward to the fix.. I really wonder what the sim will look like when the color banding is gone.
Could someone in participating in the public Beta post some screenshots which show that it really has been fixed? I would highly appreciate it.

I’m playing in VR but it looks fixed to me.
I’m talking about the color banding, because clouds are another story. Even if I had two very pleasant flights through the clouds at night and during the day and didn’t experience any oily banding or too much pixelated edges, it depends so much of the clouds formation that I won’t jump into saying they’re fixed. I need more flying time.
One good point is that I could push back Clouds on Ultra without my FPS being destroyed.

Dang those clouds look AMAZING.

That’s not the appropriate topic but unfortunately, nothing has changed. I’m on the latest beta 1.21.17.0 and clouds are still pixellated/with artefacts. It really depends on the clouds configuration though.
When I talk about the artefacts, I’m talking about this (taken during a lightning strike):
1.21.17.0, issue still happens:
But color banding is fixed and that’s what matters here.

i only hope that they removed those volcanic clouds

Yes me too. I think they are ceated when METAR says no clouds and meteblue says overcast. Or they are created as a filler when metar says clouds and meteoblue does not. I liked the weather as it was. Maybe not super accurate all the time but it felt realistic. And that is the most important for me in a flight sim.
Unfortunately, the volcanic clouds are still present. But there seem to be newer/better white/light gray clouds that I am loving.

, but it’s better than the previous ones

Anyone in public beta can check if the sun is still leaking through the clouds onto the ground and into the cockpit? I have a feeling it has been solved along with the color banding, just wanna make sure.

Can you give more info, a screenshot maybe? Because I checked but I’m not sure of what to look for.
Is it something obvious or subtle?
I realized that there is still banding in the water when the sun hits it, I got some pretty ugly shapes, a bit like the ones that are in the coulds.
EDIT: I guess this isn’t fixed:
And this banding in the coulds… 
I think there’ll always be some banding, this is miles better than what we had before. It could even be just the video compression artifact.
And if my mind isn’t playing tricks on me, it seems like the leaking sun is indeed fixed.
The Sun would shine even through very very thick clouds and fog and it looked weird, because everything at the ground or in the cockpit was very bright and you could see shadows everywhere, even when the sky was overcast.
