March 20, 201313 yr Hi all, I'm posting this in this forum because of the high knowledge level and similar requirements that I find in here with my fellow PMDG enthusiasts. I'm finding more and more FSX at night to be unnaturally bright and the visibility too good at night to be realistic. Is there a way to tweak the settings to make the nights darker with all it means (eg darker terrain, skies, clouds etc..). I add that I use rex and gsx+utx. Thank you in advance and sorry for surely duplicating a thread that must have appeared in the past. Matteo Capocefalo MED1473

March 20, 201313 yr "Some of you may have heard of this already. Its called ENBseries. Its a mod that adds high dynamic range lighting and bloom effects to FSX (or any D3D game i think). Both of which microsoft couldn't do without grinding the game to a halt. The great thing here is that there appears to be almost no performance penalty!Its free and IMO the best addon out there. Here's the site http://enbdev.com/index_en.html . Its fully configurable and after many hours i think i have found a nice sweet-spot on the setup of night vs day. Here are the installation files http://www.mediafire.com/?jq0ouyd0mnj . Just drop both of these into the main FSX directory and it will work." Using ENB u can adjust brightness levels - also during night time. Artur
March 20, 201313 yr FSWC + ActiveSky 2012 is what I use. Trent Hopkinson, 2015 Crewmember of www.mangrove.com.au WorldFlight sim Youtube channel www.youtube.com/user/musicalaviator
March 21, 201313 yr I only use ENB, and I like it as it's quite simple to modify. That being said, it is very easy to overdo it. By that I mean I only just noticed whilst flying the NGX yesterday, that I'd made parts too dark and I could hardly see the strobe lights illuminating the ground. Thanks Matthew T Gardiner
March 22, 201313 yr SweetFX seems to be better because author is still working on it and updating, contrary to ENB - correct me if i am wrong. By asking, which one is better i was considering system load - fps performance. ENB has slight impact on performance, how about SweetFX ? Artur

March 22, 201313 yr how about you just adjust your monitor settings a little? maybe its too bright? Bryan Richards "People depend so much on automation that they forget how to get the automation to work." B.W.
March 22, 201313 yr SweetFX > all Would you mind sending over your SweetFX settings? because I can't find a good one out there. Joseph Vannelli
March 22, 201313 yr Second that. I would like to see others' SweetFX settings. I'm having problems finding a sweet spot that gives me dark nights but not too dark day. And yes, I have adjusted my monitor as well.
March 23, 201313 yr I have the exact opposite issue. It's too dark. I think it is an issue with the monitors I use though. . Does this addon help with that?
March 24, 201313 yr If it's always too dark/bright all you have to do is change the .ini/.cfg file to your pleasure. Dev Singh
