Interesting. That said, I just don’t want to confuse anyone or the devs in thinking that HDR is “fixed” as those of us who are using a PC monitor still are not seeing true HDR10 as we were pre-SU10.

Yes, this was a huge disappointment for me. I thought for sure that they would’ve addressed it in the very next beta release.
This HDR problem is 5th from the top as far as votes in the Install, Performance, and Graphics category (with a “Feedback Logged” tag).

The status is feefback logged and not bug logged. Lets hope this is not a bad sign…
I myself switched back to SU9, lost all my peripheral profiles but i can live with redoing them i guess.
I just can’t sim without HDR after getting used to it.
same for me. If the HDR bug is fixed I will opt in the beta again imedeatly 
I agree it looks far better with HDR but I’m staying with the beta for the improved performance and better AA with DLSS, and also to try and find more bugs if possible.
I changed my Windows settings back to SDR and used the Nvidia freestyle filters to tweak the looks of MSFS in SDR and it’s reasonable now.
Just hope they can fix the HDR problem in a beta hotfix or if not hopefully before release in about 5 weeks.
I posted this in another thread to show how the performance had decreased in SU 10 Beta 2 but I realised it also shows how the screen tones are not the same between SU 9 (1.26.5) and SU 10 Beta 2 (1.27.11*). You can see 1.26.5 is much more vivid especially at the sky ahead of the plane. Both images were taken with identical settings, at 9:00am 23/07/2022 NZQN rwy 24. Note both indicate HDR10.
1.27.11 SU 10 Beta 2
1.26.5 SU 9
Good post. I see the same difference.
I just noticed that the scenery was the same except that the windsock has moved across the runway.
Yeah I can only presume that in the beta they made some changes to windsock location…

Sorry if it’s a dumb question, but what “bug logged” mean?
It means they officially accept it as a problem that needs to be fixed.
I’m on Series X and running the beta and I can confirm that HDR is most certainly still broken. It seems to be sending an HDR flag, because my TV indicates it’s receiving an HDR signal, but the result is definitely NOT HDR. Washed out image and specular highlights (reflections off aircraft skin, sun in the sky, etc.) are no brighter than the rest of the frame.
By the way, as bad as the missing HDR is, the fact that the XBOX version lost all antialiasing after Sim Update 9 and it’s still missing in Beta 10 is just as bad. I’ve compared to screenshots I captured when the sim was on SU 6, and the difference is massive. Jaggies all over the aircraft and lots of shimmering on buildings and other scenery. I don’t see many mentioning this issue, so it needs to be pushed harder. There’s no way it’s only my XBOX not doing antialiasing at the moment.

DirectX 11: HDR works (edit: it does not)
In my case (Windows 11, DX11) HDR is working again since the new beta version.
Have not yet tested DirectX 12
Edit: HDR does NOT work
are you sure? for me this bug was the reason to opt out the beta 1. the most users reported that is still broken with beta 2…
Yes, I’m sure it’s working in DX11
I’m on Windows 11 and HDR is not working as it was in previous non beta MSFS versions.
If I use Alt + enter to change to windowed mode and resize the window i get a little bit more contrast but its not HDR.
On the plus side i can get DX12 working smoothly and DLSS has resulted in better AA (with TAA since SU5 i was getting bad shimmering on AI buildings)
The image quality (apart from fuzzy glass cockpit) is much improved, no AA shimmering and improved performance.
If they can get HDR working as before it’d be a great update for me.
I can confirm Dolby Vision is broken. TV shows it’s running in dolby vision, but everything just looks wrong.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
Yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
Not much more to say. HDR just doesn’t work in SU10
Are you using DX12?
Doesn’t matter. Issue affects both DX11 and DX12
Are you using DLSS?
Doesn’t matter. Issue exists both with and without DLSS.
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
Thanks so much! Your report is absolutely the same experience I noticed right after Sim Update 10 Beta was released, so it’s still broken.
About antialiasing, unfortunately I didn’t notice this because I only started to play Flight Simulator seriously since these recent months, but this really can also be frustrating. Is there any thread talking about this?
