Is that what is causing the sim to look washed out and not as sharp as 2020. Have been trying to figure out why and sometimes feel like I’m taking crazy pills because nobody else seems to notice it.
You are not going crazy. Asobo messed up something which caused a regression in AA. The difference is day and night. 2020 running on my 1440P IPS monitor is sharper than my 4K monitor with equal PPI.
I can’t believe this is being overlooked!

I found a somewhat temporary fix to it. You also need to go into windowed mode before you change the resolution. You will notice the stuttering disappear but FPS stays roughly the same. It is much sharper than AA .
So wait explain what you do? Turn off AA?
Yes turn it off, but do this first.
In Nvidia inspector you select the following:
You can play around with the sharpening value from 0.20 or higher.
And then launch the game and select the following:
But make sure to set the sim to windowed full screen before changing the resolution. Then increase render-scaling to whatever you like between 100 and 160. The higher you go, the shaper the upscaling is from 1080P.
Having AA off looks terrible though, no?
Yes but following my steps above will show you how sharp and detailed it looks. You save tons of VRAM and eliminate stuttering completely! Report back!
It’s not a perfect workaround but better than nothing.
Will give it a try and see. It is something that really bothers me about 2024 and it was the first thing I noticed when I first played it. I even thought something was wrong with my screen
Make sure to use SU4 Beta with it. I’m getting 60fps solid with zero stutters in A350 at inibuild Heathrow connected to Vatsim and everything set to ultra.
How is your render resolution 4224x2350 when the full screen res is 1920x1080 and multiplier 1.1? And you claim to be using a 2560x1440 monitor?
4224x2350 is 4k x1.1 but I can’t see what’s causing it to render that high.
This looks like ‘supersampling’, which is a brute-force and very GPU intensive alternative to other AA methods.
I took a quick look at your screenshots - full screen and I have a comment/question.
It looks like you took the photos with a wide-open camera lens. There doesn’t appear to be a lot of depth of field. Did you have that graphics option “on”?
Personally, I like maximum DOF in the sim, everything sharp - near and far, so I have mine turned off.
I am just curious if that might be an unintended result of turning off your AA? It shouldn’t be, but who knows?
I’ve noticed this as well. Very frustrating.
