Still there during the Norway bush trip (even though forum image upload system seems to remove it almost completely compared to the original image).
Unfortunately this issue has been marked as âNot Plannedâ on the latest Feedback Snapshot.
I guess it must be a limitation of the rendering engine that cannot be rectified without a significant overhaul. Letâs hope they will explain why in the next Q&A.
In the meantime, it would be nice if we got a proper sharpening slider in the menu. The default oversharpened output makes this issue far more visible to my eyes. While not a proper solution, it would certainly help somewhat in my opinion.

I noticed this bug was moved to âNot Plannedâ too. I must say Iâm disappointed with the decision to give up on this despite it being #6 on the lifetime list.

That should be raised at the next Q&A. I remember it being talked about on one occasion, and I inferred that it was going to be tricky to fix.
But not impossible.

Aw no. This is indeed very disappointing. I just hope we donât see them giving up on some of the more âgame breakingâ bugs, like CTDs or people disappearing in multiplayer (I would regard this particular bug as more of an immersion killer, or an annoyance, but I respect that everyone has different opinions).
Iâd certainly appreciate a dev comment on why this was moved to not planned. It really is quite immersion-breaking and itâs VERY disappointing to think we might be stuck with it permanently.

They already explaned on one of the Q@A last year, and was stated in this thread, it require major code rewrite on the engine.
To be honnest I never focus my eyes at this level, I donât notice unless I really want to see it.

This is pretty disappointing indeed.
I flagged this on way back in tech alpha even.
My guess is that it requires an engine rewrite, so it wonât be addressed.
thanks friend, i seriously thought my gpu was dying or something. it was a relief to see the exact same strips on your pic
as of 2022, 21 june, this exact problem still exists;
its quite jarring

I will add my voice to this long thread to say I too have just noticed the sharp line across the horizon which runs through mountains. I havent been simming much but started to again and truth be told it wasnt something I really noticed before this evening. Flying around Lofoton Islands in Norway and the line was so obvious regardless of weather or time. I thought at first it was an atmospheric line. Prepar3D sometimes had a line where the haze layer started. Gutted this problem is 2 years old and that Asobo are now refusing to fix it. I voted anyhow.

yes it is still there⊠and nothing has been doneâŠincluding in SU 10 beta 2âŠ
See ExpressTomato52âs post above! This will not be fixed.
Well, not for the foreseeable future at least. It makes me wonder how much of their own engine they actually understand.
My only advice would be for everyone to continue submitting Zendesk tickets about it after every WU/SU. Let them know itâs still in he forefront of peoples minds.

That might be the only thing left for us to keep the hope. I completely understand that this is a rendering issue and maybe trying to sort it out would actually mess up a lot of other visual aspects of the game, I do not know. At least they should give a deeper explanation on why this is âunfixableâ, it is bad enough to at least give community complete answer.
I just experienced maybe the most severe one yet, landing at Innsbruck few minutes ago.
