The lighting engine in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has also seen a major upgrade. Photometric lighting now ensures that all light sources, from the sun to streetlights, have realistic intensities and temperatures.
This work will improve the shadows produced in the cockpit and the orange and purple effect seen at sunrise and sunset. Asobo has put extensive effort into maximizing graphical improvements at a low performance cost, resulting in an immensely improved simulator experience. Even city night lighting is significantly improved by the light scatter and engine improvements.
The new lighting system can handle extreme contrasts, such as the blinding brightness of the sun at high noon versus the dim glow of a candle at night. This creates more natural transitions between light and shadow, especially in low-light situations like dawn and dusk.
