Post a P3D night 2.3 screenshot please

Recommended Posts

Honestly XP10 does a much better job at night than FSX/P3D.  Though with the right settings either FSX or P3D with Orbx lights can look pretty good.

Works for me... but it is dropbox and I have that on my PC - maybe that's why?

I changed it to Photobucket on my previous post. Should be ok now.

Thanks for the feedback Rich and Ryan.

I will stop using DropBox.

Thanks a lot - looks good just tough to tell with small images - night shots  are so tough - I remember some time back  I think it was Jim (Firehawk) he gave me a sweetfx profile for night and man it was amazing - its like a bright night hard to explain but I am going to put this on my to do list play with night textures as I am not going to use sweetfx

Maybe a short video would be better at a specific location, time and altitude ... with coastline  e.g..

 

Edit : I am a beginner at videos but I could give it a good try.

   Richard, have you tried tweaking the gputerrain fx file, as was mentioned by Rob A in the Beta 2 testing thread? I will give it a try later, soon as my pc finishes a much needed backup.

Thanks Guys - yes tweak did nothing no change - no biggie I will figure it out - what I am looking for might be a bit off from reality but like I said i had a sweetfx profile at night that was awesome it was a bright night which allowed me to enjoy my terrain.

hmmm ... are you sure Sweetfx is GONE and/or it didn't create some registry entries that feed the nVidia drivers?  Considering Sweetfx sets HDR it seems too much of a coincidence to me ... in fact, digging a little deeper and it would appear there is some common thread for the "very dark" problem ... and that common thread is Sweetfx was used at some point in time.

 

Here is a quick video I made including some "night" ... comparing AFRFriendly (SLI) with none SLI -- the night looks very dark when running SLI (read not realistic).  Video also shows the "eye adjustment" affect in action. 

 

 

Why I bring this up is because the AFRFriendly (SLI) process seems to duplicate the "very dark" night that Rich sees.  LM have indicated that HDR is problematic when using the AFRFriendly SLI process.

 

Cheers, Rob.
