One simple word describes P3D v3.2.3....

[Sesquashtoo 2,846]

Wow, that looks great. No offense to Mitch though since it's his thread, but I like the colors more than a muted, almost black and white visual.

 

Whatever makes you happy though.

Simply no offense taken.  That is the beauty of the new HDR...you get what you want, with your monitor set to whatever...so certainly no offense.  I have always wished for a way to tone down the colors from FSX on...and now I can.  Man, I'd buy P3D v3.2 for that ability alone...with the rest thrown in  as a free ride!

 

Enjoy, and cheers,

 

Mitch

Ah unfortunately it doesn't just clear up for me. I have blurries on approach after 2 hours. Considerably less and not very noticeable after some tweaking but they are still there.

Bloom...here is my P3D v3.2 cfg file...I have put some custom additions into it...try this...and see where it gets you;

Thanks. I think the locked fps might be making the difference. But if I use locked it just gets too stuttery although it gets rid of all the blurries. Also I noticed you have LOD at 6.5 while mine is at 8.5. I have almost every other setting lower than yours actually. What are your system specs?

 

How is the AM of 245 holding up for you by the way? That's 6 cores for P3D I imagine it can get a little stuttery no?
