Graphics look grainy without the toolbar on

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

I switched from DX11 to DX12 (Beta) back to DX11 within the game.

Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons?

no, as this doesn’t seem to effect the look of the sim graphics.

Brief description of the issue:

I went away for work and came back and downloaded sim update 12. The sim was all stuttery, I switched to DX12 (Beta) but my system didn’t like it so I switched back to DX11 within the game. Now, with the windows toobar on bottom of screen, or the Pacx toolbar, the graphics look nice and sharp like they were before I did update 12. But now if I switch either toolbar off my ground textures look way too sharp and it looks grainy, taxi way lines don’t appear as sharp, lines on the wings grainy and not straight and sharp like if the toolbar is on.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

I would but if I take a screenshot or video of the problem, it doesn’t show the difference between the two graphic scenarios!

After flying around with dodgy graphics unless the Pacx toolbar was on for a month, I have fixed it! I discovered that the Image Scaling in the setting in my GeForce Experience had been turned on! My sim is back to normal now. Happy days! :sunglasses:
