I think the “Graphics downgrade” is solved now we can turn the pre-caching to ultra. I see no difference in screenshots before and after.

Not solved. i am not referring to pop-in issues, LOD or pre-caching.
I am talking about clouds and shimmering (also lighting got degraded).

@CptEvillian

There always has been pixelated clouds, maybe you have before and after pictures
but when i look at before and after screenshots the clouds are the same (boring because only cumulus and cumulonimbus). I would ask for more variation instead of better visuals.

I am not talking about general improvements, I am talking about specific downgrades since SU5. I loved the sim pre-SU5 and the graphics were amazing. Specific things changes with SU5 (and its hot fixes) that caused a major downgrade though. I would be totally happy with pre-SU5 quality levels.

Don’t have VR but there has always been some flickering.

If you don’t have VR, please don’t comment, as you wouldn’t know.
Have a look at the videos from the links I have posted above and you will see. The issue is major, and also visible in 2D (see taxiway markings from this vide). All this was not there pre-SU5.

Shimmering/AA downgrade since SU5 (in-game, not menus/overlays)

Video taken using my iPhone filming through the lens of my Reverb G2. Apologies for the slight blur, its hard to align the phone in the perfect sweet spot. The dark vertical bands are also caused by the iPhone filming through the G2 lens. And here is another one showing a scene on the ground, with taxiway and runway markings directly in front of the aircraft. Same scene both in VR and in 2D. Shimmering on taxiway and runway markings clearly visible! VR (filming through HMD): …

I completely agree with your bullet-list! Definitely things I look forward to, but I am just covering things here that were “broken” by the lastest “updates”.
