Washed out graphics post SU5

Hello,

one day before SU5 was released, I’ve made a bunch of screenshots at different locations to compare them with SU5 (mostly to compare FPS before/after). Here are some of them.

Setup:

  • 2 different aircraft: C152 (steam gauges) and C172 (glass cockpit)

  • one shot in cockpit, one from external view behind the aircraft (no change of view direction)

  • one set of shots on the runway, one in the air

  • for the shots in the air, I activated “active pause” once the flight was loaded

  • time: 10 AM for every shot and every location

  • weather: always scattered clouds

  • track IR paused

  • graphic settings where unchanged in SU5, I’ve double checked this.

As you can see, the lighting is quite different (much brighter in SU5) and it seems to me that the clouds are less detailed on some shots (not sure though). FPS have gone up quite sigificantely (see table).
But judge for yourself.

First image is SU4 (upper right corner: “SDK update available”), second is SU5










performance gain (which I’m quite happy with)
