Textures of aircraft lights reflected on clouds

[FabioCoelhoBR]

Hello. I recorded a video showing the textures of the aircraft’s lights reflecting on the clouds.

Weird textures MSFS2020

They are weird on my sim. Anyone having this problem besides me?

Thanks.

This is possibly the volumetric lighting bug that people see with ultra widescreen displays. What is your screen resolution and graphics settings?

My screen resolution is 3440x1440 and my graphics settings are on ultra. Should I change anything to avoid this issue?

Hi,

as @HethrMasn mentioned, these is about the volumetric lighting…

Some users, VR and also 2D reported this. Can you check whether your report is same as the following existing ‘bug-logged’ 2d topic ?

Partial Volumetric Lighting

I experienced some similar problems in 2D Mode. FBW A32NX lights randomly turning invisible when flying through clouds and weird rendering bug as shown in the linked Video [Microsoft Flight Simulator 2022 02 16 21 39 40 02]

Another existing ‘bug-logged’ topic , but just for VR:

Volumetric Lighting Effects Gone in VR

Please tag your post with #pc and/or #xbox. PC Are you on Steam or Microsoft Store version? MS Store Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it? No Brief description of the issue: No longer getting volumetric lighting effects from navigation, strobe or landing lights within clouds, fog, rain or snow in VR DX11 or DX12. The effects still function correctly in PC mode, though not as dense as pre-SU7. All graphics setting on ULTRA, including Light Shafts. Tested live weather, preset …

Two workarounds that I know of. Use magpie to upscale a smaller resolution to fullscreen, or play in DX12 mode.

Most people say they get bad performance in DX12 mode.

Try lowering the in-game render resolution a bit (not render scale, as I was told that doesn’t help).

@MichaMMA Any idea if this has been fixed in SU9 beta? The new dev blog snapshot seems to indicate that it has.

I’m on the beta but I never had this issue so I can’t reproduce it.

#10 → 65 votes Partial Volumetric Lighting Fixed in SU 9

I haven’t the Beta installed, but sounds at least like the topic

Also best would be to discuss this wihtin the linked existing topics, so that the other users know about… therefore my links and the question whether OP meant the already existing topics about.

[HethrMasn]

Thanks, I did mention it in the other topic as well. We have some initial confirmations that it’s mostly fixed in SU9, even though it wasn’t mentioned in the release notes.
