July 22, 20169 yr Tad washed out but still beautiful - reshade might be a little over the top but pics dont always tell the real story Rich Sennett
July 22, 20169 yr Very nice sky and clouds!

July 22, 20169 yr Tad washed out Interesting you say that - these are the closest to the real world that I've seen in many moons. There's a tendency in screenshots to go for the Dramatic high-contrast shader options. Many remind me of my old CRT display which essentially did "on" or "off" and nothing in between. Real life ain't like that. The gentleman whose wife said the sims look cartoonish could come and look at these! :Applause:
July 22, 20169 yr Fine series. Fun ride, but my stomach is a tad upset (LOL) Dan George (woodhick)Check out Greenbrier Aero Club, the VA for and about the GA pilot.
July 22, 20169 yr Author Commercial Member Thanks guys! Interesting you say that - these are the closest to the real world that I've seen in many moons.

Real life ain't like that. The gentleman whose wife said the sims look cartoonish could come and look at these! :Applause: I completely agree with this, especially after what Richard said, he confused me with his opinion lol. This preset is the most realistic one I've seen so far. Remember guys, if you want to mimic GoPro camera, go with ugly high contrast image and burned clouds. If you want to mimic what our eyes see, go with this "washed out" look. Why? Well human eye have pretty high dynamic range, means it can "capture" pretty dark and bright areas and adapt the image to some kind of HDR image (lifted shadows, toned down bright areas). GoPro acmera and other low budget cameras (smartphones for example) have very low dynamic range (50% less or more) and logically all lighting information are packed in the centre of the histogram, means shadows are black, bright is white.

July 22, 20169 yr Not the environment that looks great - the aircraft looks a bit washed out - should have stated that - everyone has there preference on what looks good I like a nice sharp aircraft Also you do not post any dusk or dawn shots - you should as we can see you have nailed the day time Rich Sennett

I will post dusk or dawn shots, but as you know they mostly depend on sky textures, and my sky textures that I'm using are WIP. Only dusk shot I've shared so far with this preset: Current system: ASUS PRIME Z690-P D4, Intel 12900k, 32GB RAM @ 3600mhz, Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity, M2 SSD, Oculus Quest 2.
July 22, 20169 yr Number 2 looks pretty much like what you'd expect in RW. Sascha Rieger | EVO Developer What is EVO • How to get Evo 2016 • FS9 Evolution Forum
