SU5, before....and after

[Ju1ius2416]

well THAT is to some extend a whole different story.
one could wonder how, if not deliberately, you end up with the issues that sim has with changelogs looking like they do? some are bugs, as the resolved vanishing of the volumetric lighting was. The things that most simer are noticing are never mentioned in the changelogs, nor in the “known isssues”

here’s a list of things that got changed for whatever reason.. and not for the good or better looking, heck not even better performance (despite the agressive occlusion culling)

@Ju1ius2416

since SU5 hotfix2 1.18.15.0 i’d like to give an update aswell:

• Toggle to mouse view, adjust the seating position via the arrow keys and the mouse will jump to the upper left corner and/or dissapear.
• occlusion culling is slow so that objects and trees pop in only after looking in the direction for 1-3 seconds. (this is on buildings, vegetation, nightlights and texture resolution!)
• completely different set of textures for differen LOD loading (depending on flightlevel)
• “Tree draw distance to the horizon” - stright up a lie. (you can only and to en extend archive this with setting LOD 400-600 via config)
• No option to change weather inflight: precipitation, aerosol density, temperatur, qnh…
• massive amount of floating lights (for example at LOWI)
• missing autogen, or wrong assets/achetype even missing entire airports (EGPH)
• Stuttering and framedrops when panning
• mouse/trackIR freelook stutter/acceleration due to input smoothing (bug?)
• blocky pixelated waterreflections AND smal repeating water pattern
• pixelated clouds
• AP on GA Aircraft seem to just not work regardless of use of WTGarmin mods
• Cessna Longitude AP swaying left and right at higher altitudes
• dents and grooves in the ground
• icing even with disabled icing.
