This is also happening with taxiway signs. This is a very blurry sim, can’t read taxiway signs with a 4090 & AMD 9800X3D

The runway & taxi light screenshots above look very similar to this post in this pre-SU bug report:

Does it look like the same issue to you?

That’s been a problem since the release of MSFS 2020, poorly scaling point light sources. MSFS 2024 made the runway / taxi lights a bit better at close range with better looking sprites, but transforms into fussy out of focus color blobs at slightly longer distances.
Nothing like the sharp point lights seen in real life.

I think what’s meant is this extreme blurry effect below.
Also have this on my 7900XTX in 4K, something is very wrong there currently.
It’s no related to upscaling (not using that) or frame-gen (tried on-off without change)

I havent notice the lights being these blurred prior to SU2 beta. It seems to be tied to a more aggressive LOD which i also notice on this Beta.

Goodness, I had a drink or two tonight, but they weren’t that strong. I’m glad it wasn’t my eyes playing tricks on me.
Glad this is reported as a bug.
Don’t recall it was like this in SU1?
Blurry RWY-, approach- and TWY(green+blue) lights. Seems to be mostly 3rd party airports not converted to 2024sdk(?).
Lights not sharp at all, and distant lights are just as big as close lights, making a blurry blob…
Thought maybe it was my resolution making the fuzziness, 5120x1440, but seems like others have the problem too.
5090(576,02), 7900x3d, 64gb ram, hdr, steam.

• This is Rwy 22L at Logan Intl. (KBOS). Notice the 4 red PAPI light blobs. The nearby green and blue taxiway lights are a bit better, but then become blurry at a distance. Removing the “star” effect from the white runway lights would also help.
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
Zoomed in, but its a focused pic.
Tried turning hdr on/off - same.
Not good. How hard can it be to reproduce…

• Please fix runway and taxi lights once and for all. It’s not that difficult to get them right. Before they used to be huge and extremely bright, then they became huge but less bright, now they’re huge and blurry. Just make them realistic please. They should be small and sharp. Look at real photos online please.

Plenty of good photos in this thread.
