I noticed that @saltensea is writing the same message all the time, in few different topics.
It looks like he is trying to start the war like was few 12 hour ago.
@saltensea please stop as you can get banned for spamming the same message in different topics.
That’s because it is the previous medium
So your mouse doesn’t disappear then in game it doesn’t flick to top right of screen
your menu isn’t clunky
your live weather works perfectly.
???
nothing has been downgraded ??? Then explain to me where the volumetric lighting and the light shafts are!
Yes there is a massiv downgrade.
For me this game is now unplayable.
Excactly same for me. I have not played much since the update. I have invested quite some money into getting high end PC and new VR set, and now the severe quality downgrade makes it feel like waste of money and huge disappointment. I really wish it was a way to downgrade, as my sim was doing great in Ultra settings before the update.
Well, it’s different for different hardware. I think up to some medium hardware specs you would not see a downgrade. For low end hardware SU5 was an upgrade.
So, not everyone sees a downgrade probably.
Thanks for the lough. I needed it 
Try X-Plane or P3D. Maybe you will get some joy from your upgraded system.
People keeping saying “on my end, it’s fine so stop complaining” just can’t see the forums, reddit groups and facebook groups are all over the place right now. It is not a “hate train”, the PC users (and especially those with good hardware) are being scammed, plain and simple.
Each update brings an awful amount of bugs. This sim is just not great when it comes to realism in planes, flight models an all. All this sim has for itself is amazing scenery, and they ruin this very point on each update to please the mid-low config PC and consoles, instead of adding sliders and letting people choose to have insane graphics over high fps.
Asobo should make a proper CTE imho.
There is no downgrade.
The earth is flat.
And my neighbour is reptilian.
But is not the “same” graphic
nope, the only one I can’t 100pc attest to is the live weather. it seems to be working OK and doesn’t seem off.
I really wonder if this kind of comments are bots, MS employees or what on earth is going on on some people mind
No, not going to edit it, truth hurts ah?
Same here Live Wx, where I fly, the USA, seems pretty accurate lately…EXCEPT for the LIGHTNING. That is why I stopped using it.
Live Real Time Traffic seems to be back at the numbers it was in early June, or close to it.
What chasm? Indeed, you have a vision problem.
Oh yeah this ghosting is terrible, especially in VR, I haven’t seen a lot of people complaining about it.
There is a huge issue with reflections overall.
“There is no downgrade in SU5”
Just took a flight over the Grand Canyon near KGCN. It used to be a spectacular view of towering cliffs, just like in real life. Following SU5, the Grand Canyon now looks like a depression in some rolling hills.
So sad.
Yes, LOD in userconf settings is getting back the old visual LOD. As, well it almost gives back the same VRAM usage as before, just a bit lower, I think caused by the load in and load off operations, called pop in here.
Proof:
Well we can all agree now that they’ve communicated about it that Hugothester was wrong.
Hotfix incoming. We can all move on. 
Yep, all those who see no downgrade kindly sign here so MS can ensure the hotfix isn’t pushed to your machines and save some bandwidth for the rest of us
