I sit about 2,5 m (7 feet) away from my 55" OLED screen so I can’t say I notice the graphical downgrade too much (don’t get me wrong, I do notice it), but the pop-in is very noticeable an immersion-killing. Look out the left window at the NY skyline, then look out the right window and then left again and boom, no skyline until the it pops in after a fraction of a second. Ditto with a lot of building details, vegetation, ground textures etc. This was a big problem in SU9 that was mostly fixed in SU10, so very sad that it’s back again in full force. The frame rate is smooth as butter on the X and I have had no CTDs, I will give them that though.
Probably the sim should have never been released for S, and maybe MS shouldn’t have made the S console in the first place. It’s a great little machine and provides very good value for money, but it does seem to hold next-gen gaming back. Too late to do anything about that now of course.
Anyway, SU10 was the sweet spot for me and many others, so really hope we get back to that level of quality ASAP.
I agree it’s so so poor. Those users with a real keen eye for appreciating the sim in all its graphical magnificence have been massively let down and no communication is a huge kick in the bollox
After a hard day at work, my kid and wife going to bed, i thought. Now it’s my turn. Got a beer, launched de sim, got a heli, took off, less than five min my Xbox was shutdown….. impossible to fly with such low quality
Awesome! That makes sense - I’m on a 2k screen and very comfortable at 6ft away, can see every detail.
By the way, I now know what you were talking about… The blurry textures and detail popping in late .. yep, they definitely did something with the LODs.
I’m using a 4K sony smart but can’t run the sim in 4K even with upscale because the quality barely change. So decided to run in 1080p and then I can enable motionflow (or freesync) in other brands. In 4K i can’t enable motionflow
So I can run at stable 60fps, just praying and begging that LOD solves maybe itself??? Maybe a heaven miracle??? Or maybe a simple slider adjust on Asobo servers??
Yes I live and learn just Gatwick was my local airport.I know you recently said you own a few 3rd party airports have you got a list of one’s you own which don’t give you issues and also behave with 3rd party airliners?
The situation on Xbox Series S is so bad I’m contemplating buying a gaming PC now. It’s just like one person said here, it looks like a different game after SU11. This change breaks VFR flights for me. Unbelievable degradation. I don’t care for airliners, sightseeing and VFR was the thing I loved about MSFS…
To be honest i am sure what are you talking about. Game on series s was most stable when it comes to fps, especially in big cities like New York, Sydney or Paris. Series x could drop some fps when flying at 2000 ft in New York or London but series s will keep 30 fps. There was great balance between visuals and performance on series s…at least in SU10. Problem these days is not console but deadline for dev’s - typical example is cyberpunk
ALL: let’s get back on topic about this issue. Discussions about Whether or not to buy a marketplace item based on the rating will only disrupt this thread.
Heres another example i used to flyvaround this area all the time it used to look fabulous since beta 11 sometimes it takes more than 30 seconds to get clear
