did try also on pc but honestly didn’t notice any difference from pre su11 while on xbox the difference with su10 is huge
maybe because on my pc i have to play it on mid to low graphics settings so it’s going to be harder to spot some differences but draw distance wise it’s the same as it was before
i just hope that the issue will be addressed quickly and not during a sim update; right now it’s an arrow to the eye booting the sim up on XSX and it’s even more difficult to deal with since we got so many stuff to enjoy low and slow and greatly appreciate the terrains and such
Rash jerk reactions like this going off and complaining to someone as influential as the media is a great way to get the entire Xbox community axed. I’m FS is life as much as anybody else but that is asking for complications.
I have to add my huge disappointment to this thread also. How on earth can you have a product that looks fantastic then a year later take that away? I cannot for the life of me understand why the Msfs team felt it necessary to make the sim look ten times worse!!?
All I can see is a blurry mess and a shocking draw distance. I thought we’d moved on massively from fs2004?
I can’t see why they’ve done it? It was smooth as silk 99 percent of the time and looked great. Not happy. Completely unenjoyable due to shocking visuals. I know for a fact the console is capable of much more because I’VE WITNESSED IT FOR A YEAR!!!
Someone from Msfs come out and explain yourselves please. I’m unsubscribing as only purchased the console for this.
Sort it out or at least give the option of reverting to alternative versions of the sim. Un-effin-believable.
I would give it up as well, but unfortunately, I think this is a non-starter because of the way the sim makes money. Aircraft and scenery add-ons are critical to the business case, I think. That’s why I doubt they’ll even allow for a slider or a “defaults only” mode. Correct me if it’s wrong, but it’s my understanding that on PC there is the option to uninstall the add-on planes from the 40th pack whereas on XBOX we don’t even have that.
I would like nothing more than to return to last week, but I can’t see it happening. The question now is what they can do to improve, because as it is, most of the appeal of the sim is missing for me.
Agreed but you’d have to be brain dead for someone in their team to suggest reducing graphical quality in favour of something else. It looks completely shocking. If I loaded that up first time having never seen it before I’d have thought it was utterly unimpressive and wouldn’t entertain the idea of ever putting it back on. I’m fumin about this.
What I don’t get is if you’re saying yours is perfectly fine, do you mean you haven’t noticed any reduction in visual quality, you’re not too bothered or you’re absolutely sure yours hasn’t changed in terms of quality, draw distance etc? My point is that it either effected all users on Xbox or there’s another cause i.e servers or something else their end
Does anyone care to estimate how much money 3rd party devs have lost during the ‘40th Anniversary Sale’ thanks to, ironically, the 40th Anniversary update? It’s only running for one more day and I for one have held back on buying any further add-ons due to the current anti-VFR visuals of SU11.
I’ve spent almost £200 on MSFS2020 and 3rd party aircraft (I’m sure there are others here who’ve spent far more) and I don’t want to go near the bloody thing at the moment.
It’d be shrewd of MS to postpone the final sale day until we have a sim that looks more akin to what it did a few days ago.
They don’t even communicate so we don’t even know if this is to stay, a bug or server related. It’s an engrossing and an engaging simulator that many dedicate much time to so users are bound to be angry and frustrated.
Fantastic news but how do you know this please? I haven’t even seen any form of communication from Msfs. Only a pathetically vague message about the servers on Friday evening.
I don’t see a problem with folks voicing their frustrations with this situation. At least that gives feedback to the community.
Frankly if this was how MSFS2020 looked on Xbsx upon release, I would not have bothered with it. The visuals were the selling point. To lose the visuals kills the experience for me. Not even kidding it looks like a low budget flying Nintendo Switch game.
Three items on my wish list have gone on sale and I’ve held back on buying them. If we were under SU10 they would have been instant buys. I’ve also got some peripherals due to arrive over the next few weeks that I’m already starting to get cold feet on.
It affects all users. Some are just more prone to noticing it and/or being annoyed by it than others.
This was an issue during beta, when the servers were smooth as butter. Beta servers have fewer players and traditionally don’t experience the type of slowdown the main servers experience when there is a large player spike.
Some of the hyperbole in this thread is getting a bit silly. We can agree that the visuals have been downgraded but suggesting that it looks like a Nintendo Switch flying game… I mean, really?
Absolutely. If it stays this bad then I simply cannot enjoy it.
It wouldn’t be a great business idea for me to suggest that a product look ten times worse would it? Particularly when the visuals are fundamentally the most important part!!! I’m shocked.
