The majority.
The majority cannot comment on this because they:
a) if only flies an hour a month
b) plays on UWXGA / 720p / 1080p monitors / televisions or notbooks and cannot even see the difference.
C) cannot even start because of CTDs.
But ok, has now a really good Performance, no doubt
This is completely valid, but people ARE suggestable. If it is stated (or even implied) that there is something wrong or different about a thing, then some will āseeā issues even if they are not there. This effect is proportionally more pronounced in line with the vagueness of the āproblemā. This is an offshoot of the suggestibility used in the Forer Effect, among many others.
Give a person 2 identical glasses of coke (as part of several other ātestsā to avoid raising suspicion) and tell them the first is the original and the second is the new recipe. A large proportion of people will list differences or express a preference, despite the drinks being identical. The suggestion that they are different is enough to convince them that they are.
To be fair, with the LOD change in the system files, the sim has never looked better for me. I saw it before I made those changes. Now, not so much.
I:
a) I fly around 135 hours a month
b) Play on a 49" 4K UW panel
c) Havenāt had more than 3 CTDs since the hotfix
I like this test, but you forgot to also add 
:
Very true!
Placebo is one helluva drug. I gave up this argument with the āgraphic reductionā crowd a while ago. Itās the few people with the loudest voices going in circles whoād rather spend hours complaining instead of flying.
I just fly and enjoy the sim. Looks as good as before with improved performance, I canāt complain.
And some will refuse to see or acknowledge issues even if they are there, and have been reported by a significant number of people who have absolutely no reason to lie about their experiences.
And some seem to believe that just because they canāt (or wonāt) see something, then everyone else who does must be hallucinating or lying.
And some seem to think they have been granted the title of official arbiter of what is real or not, and think they somehow have the right to demand that everyone else provides them with indisputable proof.
As I suggested before, maybe some people are just plain trolls.
Did you even bother to read my post?
The funny thing is, I remember how majority of people confirmed that the graphics were back to normal and fixed with the SU5 hotfix 2 update. Now all of a sudden, over the past 7 days, thereās been a new influx of complaints again. I canāt quite trust the new influx though.
Is a fact that the quality of the update is not as good as before.
The same that water textures and clouds are not as good as when the program was realise
I work woth everything in ultra, and render scale 100. Never have slutters until the last update
I have to call you out on your observation.
Now as to the reason why you are using more memory both CPU and GPU.
You are rendering at 6144x3456 which is equal to 21,233,664 pixels.
I am rendering at 2560x1440 which is equal to 3,686,400 pixels.
Another way of looking at it is you are displaying 7.8 times the resolution then I am.
This is the reason your memory usage for the CPU and GPU is higher than most other people.
Because your CPU and GPU needs this memory to process your rendering scale.
I also need to add this extra memory has nothing to do with the Flight Simulator usage.
I would suggest that you reduce your render scale to 2K and take a screen shot and you will see that all of my statements are correct.
Happy Flying
I donāt know about the majority, but the hotfix 2 update didnāt do anything for the issues Iām experiencing. My problems in VR have been consistent since SU5.
I honestly donāt care who believes me or not, I just want the ā ā ā ā thing fixed. Iām all for XBox players joining, lower end machines being supported, etc. I just donāt think that should be done at the expense of the existing users.
I simply donāt get why people want to discredit those of us who are still unhappy with the downgrades. It is hard enough to get Asobo to address issues without having a fractured user base arguing over whether they are real or not. With all of the different possible hardware combos out there, coupled with different peopleās varying expectations and tolerances, it is no surprise that not everyone sees the same thing. That DOES NOT, however, mean that those who do see the issues are crazy or dishonest.
It could have been worse, some are waiting since January
Compare:
NB: the following was posted in April for the first time but most of these exist since Jan.
Iām with you 100% on that Cpt.
At least prior to SU5 it was in a state where I could enjoy flying. Unfortunately not so now.
You are 100% correct. I do not know why people canāt tell the truth?
Yep- already my wife complains that I spend my free time on a forum moaning my sim has been downgraded. I would surely face divorce if I was happy with my sim, but still spent free time on a forum complaining that others are complaining 
(This would however probably mean I would get more time to spend on the sim 
)
So, to summarize your post: The sim doesnāt use a lot of memory unless it NEEDS to.
Are you saying that is a BAD thing?
You still donāt get it I suggest you read my last post again.
Because your CPU and GPU needs this memory to process your rendering scale.
I also need to add this extra memory has nothing to do with the Flight Simulator usage.
Wow!!! Simply Wow!!! I very much enjoyed watching those two vids.
