Texture banding issue

[MSFS 2020] Bug Reports Aircraft
,
1

Version: 1.37.19.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: High

Context: In flight

Bug description:
We’re observing a hint of darker shading. Maybe AO?. It appears that these lines align with the geometric edges. I experimented with this on a current project, applying only a material with any maps plugged. The problem was there. I don’t recall encountering this prior to SU15,maybe I’m wrong.

**Repro steps:Select any aircraft and fly. Screenshot are from TBM on ground

Hello @LioC ,

This is by design and there are no plans to update or change this system.

Regards,
Boris

Hi Boris,

Thanks for the response, can you advise if MSFS 2024 will address this issue? your response seems to imply we will suffer from this anomaly forever?

Although I understand for MSFS 2020 we facing challenges and you guys will not be able to update the core to fix this particular problem, I find it a bit difficult to accept we will not see improvement with new versions of the simulator.

All the best,
Raul

Does adding a FLAGS for the COMP with _DEFAULT=QUALITYHIGH not improve this? I’ve done this to get rid of noticeable AO banding on a few hangar interiors. Just use sparingly.

Can’t tell if it’s the same or not in the photos.

No, as I said “I experimented with this on a current project, applying only a material with any maps plugged”.
It’s not texture related I think.

Ah. I misunderstood that on my first readthrough.

In that case, it’s likely a shader or generated AO limitation, as you said.
