After spending 10+ hours flying this weekend, I’m with you. The haze seems to be worse. Maybe it seemed right initally since my first flights were on the coast of California. But I live in Dallas and that’s definitely not the norm here. Also, found that weather seems to be a hit or miss. I sure hope this gets fixed in a hotfix or at least the next release.
I also tried DX12. The smoothness went out the window. I saw my card drop from 67% usage down to 8%. That would be terrific if it was smooth. But they definitely have some work to do on that. Crossing my fingers they can give us ray traced reflections in the future. The current reflection strategy has some ugly side effects.
Overall, I’m still quite happy with this release.
