Conditions without fix

ULTRA Settings (without any changes)



Now MSFS images - All images was taken near MROC airport, central america

General picture - i saved a flight here -

Now details from the same image:

Cartoonish terrain texture

  • Trees are like saturated, not integrated to background
  • Rivers are as long lines visible from severals nautical miles
    -Buildings are as a mesh and there aren’t sharpen

I saved another flight here -

Grainy textures in cockpit

Color trees has unreal brightness

Grainy clouds


Oversatured terrain textures

And finally…the FPS 43


Now the good news, with fix applied:

General image like real terrain


General good looking near MROC - no issue with buildings or trees




I clean the weather for see the unreal rivers…and the problem decreased…only i see some rivers at mountain top…but are clearly better than before condition


No grainy clouds

Inside clouds


No grainy cockpit reflections


And finally the FPS… FPS 40


All images were taken at 7000ft


Fix settings:

As said in PC Settings, i have an AMD RX 5700XT.

Yo need to go to AMD Adrenaline software…
Go to right upper corner and set “Settings”

image

Then go to “Display” that you use to play MSFS, in my case is “Display 1”…

image

In “Display options” Enable Virtual Super Resolution or VSR…

And that is…

Go to MSFS, go to “General options” and change the following:

First, change “Full screen resolution” to 2560x1140…instead 1920x1080

image

Now set “Global rendering quality” to “Ultra”…

ANd finally…go to “Texture supersampling” and change from 6x6 to Off

Now press “F11 Apply and Save”…

For NVidia Graphics Card they have a setting similar to Virtual Super Resolution, but i don’t have NVidia video card, and i can not make the test.

I hope that this explanation fixes the issues that i had.

I don’t know if this explanation fix issues for monitors with higher resolution, but you can try it.

Important: i tried with native resolution 1920x1080 and changing “Render Scaling” up and down, but the final results were not good. //// i spent months to reach to this solution to me!

That’s all!!!

Hello @idoleo2001 .

Thank you for your advice.
Since this topic is about giving advice for a better user experience rather than reporting a specific bug, your topic was moved into the #self-service:pc-hardware category.

ill give this a try and see how it looks, i to notice the grainy look on some things but just dealt with it, hopefully this helps some thanks for sharing.

Worked for me, thanks!!
