    I couldn't agree more about MSFS 2024's lighting system. Apart from the exaggerated halos, I think the adaptive exposure system is actually to blame. I have had to retool all the lighting on all my aircraft for MSFS 2024, and I think the results are significantly worse than MSFS 2020. I don't think we will see a solution for that anytime soon, but it's nice to know that I'm not alone in my thinking.

      It's truly unfortunate, because many things look so good. Some lights should be bright and look amazing being bright, like landing lights. But every single light is on steroids. The mountains around Phoenix were completely lit up like day time after I landed tonight, lmao. The textures are sharp and realistic, the road traffic, lane markings, better environmental city lights, volumetric effects, lightening, rain effects, and more. All very wonderful stuff, and to be honest if Asobo would reduce the way the lights overexpose and reflect so far away, the sim would look amazing. I love flying at night and Asobo could do so much better. X-Plane seems to have dialed in the night lighting much better, but I don't own it.

        Looking forward to getting the Baron for MSFS 2024. You can always update the plane via patch versus waiting for MSFS 2024 to improve which might take a few more years πŸ™‚

          Yeah the night lighting sucks. In some planes the bloom is so bad it's hard to see and taxi around at night because it looks like there's a dense fog when the landing/taxi lights are on.

            SU3 did not fix any of the bugs that I have been reporting since release, so I am now implementing all the workarounds necessary to deliver my aircraft as future-proof as possible for MSFS 2024. I suspect that will only take a few days, and we will begin updates next week.

            @Black-Square that sounds amazing. Iβ€˜ve been missing the Dukes since I moved over to MSFS2024. Glad to hear the updates will be rolling out shortly. Will you also bring out an update for the TBM850?

              @piperdriver0624 Of course! It's only my Steam Gauge Overhaul aircraft that will not be joining us in MSFS 2024, because changes to the underlying simulator made that virtually impossible. Instead, there will be Professional Series, which is their replacement with many more features and far better graphics.

                @Black-Square that’s great to hear. Looking forward to the Professional Series too. Especially the Bonanza has a special place in my hangar πŸ˜‰.

                Thanks for the reply. Have a nice Sunday.

                  @Black-Square in which case I suspect I am going to purchase the TBM850 whilst it is on sale at Just Flight currently. In readiness for the MSFS24 patch/update. A little bank holiday treat for me here in the UK πŸ™‚

                    Quick question on the TBM850 update. Will it include the extras from the Dukes i.e. it's own sound package, stiction on the needles etc.?

                      Hi Nick,
                      To say we are excited to bring the Duke series into 2024 for our streams is a massive understatement. Unlike others, I have not chosen to port the 2020 version over as I did not want to represent the Duke in a way other than intended. I appreciate the struggles and hard work you've put into this update. I have been compensating by showing of the Starship - but I am getting seriously itchy to jump back into a Bendix cockpit and show off some old fashioned IFR.

                      Anyways this message was just one of thanks and encouragement. Looking forward to the impending release!
                      Regards,
                      Willy.
