I've been getting this rather unsightly whole-screen gray-out with bloom enabled. I'm using a modded suneffect.cfg as well as having "ShowLensFlare=TRUE" enabled in my cameras.cfg. It works great when bloom is disabled, with the flare from the sun adding to the cockpit embiance. However, with bloom effects enabled, the whole screen turns gray when the view is directed towards the sun. 

 

If I can figure out how to upload a screen shot, I'll demonstrate. 

 

Any tips? 

 

EDIT: this gray-out effect is present with and without sun glare effects, Showlensflare=FALSE, etc. It happens always however, when the bloom effects are enabled.

 

It appears to be a hidden DX10 feature that has been enabled by recent Nvidia drivers.

ah! Now to figure out which feature it is... and disable it!

Looks like I'm not the only one that has found this effect:

What gets me, is people actually like it!?

Any workaround to disable it Steve? it's so annoying that I had to roll back my drivers to avoid it!

None that I can see - I wondered whether G effects would disable it but it doesn't.

 

Disabling bloom in fsx settings stops it

I've also had to roll back (driver version 332.21 is a safe one for me) to get rid of that abomination... I've experimented with nVidia Inspector, but no settings are available to disable it...

Confirmed here- 332.21 is still safe without that nasty effect.

This doesn't really help - its just an oddity.

 

If you look in Learning Center Options it shows a version of Graphics Settings with a SunGlare check box right where the DX10 Preview Option nowis.

 

Putting SUN_GLARE=0 didn't work...

Maybe SUN_GLARE=FALSE ?
