I have noticed some strange artefacts (see screen)…

I don’t believe this is a new issue. The image I show is from 2021.

it was also an issue for a little bit in 2020, Asobo then fixed it it, but its back again for 2024 i think its important we dont mix these two issues, the post you linked is near bodies of water (thats always been an thing because of screen spaced reflections), vs this issue where its the sky colors behind cloud cover leaking through the edges of trees and sometimes terrain.

Glowing Aircraft and Objects - Outline around aircraft or objects this one looks more like the image you posted in the post about edges of trees and bodies of water. I think its fixable by Asobo since they fixed it in 2020

[Giankiller86]

Could anyone who uses sim update 1 say if it has been resolved? (even if it wasn’t in the priority list)

[Foxhound6050]

no unfortunately

[Giankiller86]

finally simupdate 1 is out… now we have to fix this bug in number 2?!? Asobo please fix this bug it’s too horrible to see this strange shine fix it in simupdate 2!

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
I got a bright outline on all ground based objects (mountains, trees etc.) when they are in the foreground against dark clouds.
First screenshot is very pronounced and the second is still slightly visible.
Both screenshots were taken at the same time, showing different directions.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
No addons

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Always

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

1. Any scenery with dark, probably scattered, clouds should do it.

since I can’t enter any airport because of CTD.. has anyone seen if they have solved it?? thanks

edit: I was joking, I managed to get into simupdate 2 after so many CTDs (due to Fenix)… and we’re waiting for Asobo to fix these artifacts… I hope in the next simupdate 2 beta versions

PS: enlarge the trees

[Giankiller86]

Finally some good news!!

I’m still getting artifacts on trees when there is low fog or clouds. They are different than those we had before though and are not caused by FG, I disabled FG and still have them.

•I don’t think there is anything I can say about this “game” that hasn’t already been said. Every time I play it, in career mode mostly, but sometimes in free flight, I have to laugh, or I’d cry. What were they thinking? Here are a couple screenshots I took recently.
