I have reported the same for msfs-2020 (msfs-2024 was not out yet) Lights visible through clouds at night but only at night time. Does your issue also only happens at night ?

Happens, whenever there are clouds or fog in between the plane and lights on the ground. Though it is for contrast reasons more noticeable when it is darker.

To be honest, I first saw this bug shortly after fs2024 was released and it seem a bit that it got worse over time.

Secondly I think everyone has this issue though just doesn’t pay attention to it? I wonder how, it completely breaks any immersion, when there’s a circle of lights following you like a lit birthday cake!?

Do you happen to use a AMD 6XXX card?

No, I have a RTX2060 Super.

how are so few users either have or notice this issue?

Same problem here. It’s easily noticable to my eyes.

I decided to briefly check on this issue on my X Box X. I don’t think it exists for me. Does it happen with all clouds at night or just some? Do you need to be above a certain altitude?

I flew into KSFO today and then set the time to 3am or so and took back off and climbed to 9500 feet and I didn’t see anything unusual but I may be completely misunderstanding the problem. Heres what I saw:

the issue still exists with Sim Update 4 Beta (1.6.31.0)
AMD cpu & gpu

I’m experiencing this too. Total immersion killer, especially when flying into somewhere like London. Ryzen 5800x3d with a 6900XT.
