Not really, probably long deleted - and as I have already said, I am done with you.
Or more simply because I never made any such suggestion at all.
Iâve just posted a series of screenshots (see below).
They are showing a bug which you can spot when comparing the same scene, with the same settings, between 3D and VR modes:
This doesnât tell this is a SU5 specific graphics bug, because Iâve been observing it since theyâve added VR, but this is showing what looks like an actual discrepancy in the Shader code between 3D and VR modes.
Therefore I wouldnât be surprised there are other similar discrepancies between SU4 and SU5 that went under the radar too, especially when consider the Shader bug Iâm illustrating when comparing 3D and VR modes has been there for nearly 8 months already and it can easily go unnoticed if this is not specifically tested in QA for example, or if any VR âtodoâ has been put on the side for the last 8 months too:

Seriously? Do you get paid to post this stuff?
Look, Iâm glad you think the sim is perfect and SU5 didnât screw anything up for you, but I really donât understand your personal vendetta against those of us who do see the visual downgrades. Maybe youâre just afraid that by fixing it theyâll mess something up for you. I suppose thatâs a reasonable concern, given thatâs exactly what they did to us in SU5.
I get that you donât want to keep reading the complaints. Nobody is forcing you to, so why torture yourself? The complaints will continue until the sim is fixed, and as long as people like you insist on telling people like me that we donât know what the hell we are seeing with our own eyes.

Can you quantify your issues with the sim? Please show me, in a clear and concise way (without resorting to vague, 3rd party reports) exactly what you think the problems are.
Because, so far, I have only seen people talk about âmassive downgradesâ making the sim âunplayableâ but nobody has managed to show anything other than the acknowledged issues - and given the claimed severity, shouldnât it be pretty easy to demonstrate the issue conclusively?
Iâm not going to âquantifyâ anything for you. Iâve explained my experience here and elsewhere, as have others. And frankly, it doesnât really matter what you think because you arenât going to fix the downgrades or bugs or whatever you want to call the issues, unless youâre an Asobo dev lurking here in disguise. I highly doubt that, in fact Iâm starting to believe you are just a simple troll.

Can you provide a link to the video?
So, now I am a troll? Simply for asking people to state their issues clearly and concisely and show some corroboration?
The fact that nobody, so far, has managed to do this simple thing (and most then get incredibly defensive and retreat into more vagueness), certainly seems to speak more clearly than any of the complainants have so far.
If you put the game in 4k on a large 4k screen and dont see shimmering/weirdness all over the place, idk what to tell you
I am on a 32 inch 4K screen and donât see any shimmering?
Under what circumstances does it happen? How can I best attempt to reproduce it?
I am using all Ultra+ but happy to try different settings.
Constantly on surfaces in and out of the cockpit like around screens, worst on buildings and far away skinny objects
I also have strange diagonal shimmery lines on the pavement at airports

Maybe you need glasses? The difference is obvious.

I just donât see that at all, sorry.
What is your system spec? How many others have experienced this, and has anyone isolated any connecting factors?
Edit: thinking about it, I have seen something similar on glass or shiny buildings, either when viewed from certain angles or traversing in a particular way? I have always dismissed this as part of the ongoing reflections issues as it seems to have many similarities - could that be the same thing (or at least part of it) that you are describing?
You are missing the point entirely.
We are talking about comparing two 4K images that have been cropped and combined, then downsized to 1214x991 pixels and compressed down to 472KB - the visual integrity of the original images has been ruined, making any comparison largely meaningless, particularly when compression is one of the factors you want to compare! How do you tell what compression was done by the sim and what was done by Photoshop or whatever was used? It wouldnât be that much more valid than sketching each image on a napkin, then comparing those!
Nope. Just look at the objects and textures. Cropping, combining, and downsizing doesnât create new objects and textures.
It wonât create new objects but it can and will alter the textures. It can also reduce the fidelity of the images significantly.
This isnât conjecture - comparing the image quality of 2 images AFTER they have been downsized and compressed (especially using unknown methods) is simply not a valid comparison.

You can keep saying what youâre saying but as Iâve said in my previous post, the difference is obvious. If you donât see it, not sure how to help you.
What was the compression rate of image 1 compared to image 2? Was the DPi kept the same on both images? Was there any other post processing carried out on either image before combining or localised post processing afterwards?
If you donât know the answers to these and many other questions, then regardless of how obvious the difference is, you have no idea what WHY there is a difference or what caused it - it is especially ridiculous to compare compression artefacts, as the OP did.
Without knowing exactly what has been done to either image, only the original, unaltered images are valid for comparing image quality.
Again, if you donât see the obvious, there isnât much I or anyone can do. Iâll tell you what, letâs just agree to disagree and leave it at that.
If you donât zoom into and especially highlight that truck, there is no way to tell any difference. Whatâs the point?
