XP11 Beta - colors look very pale and washed out

[Gabe777 132]

Anyone still worrying about the washed out look in XP11,  just increase Contrast by 5 percent and reduce Gamma by 5 percent in the nVidia Control Panel.

YMMV as it dependes on your monitor ... obs..... but that's the general idea.

Takes 30 seconds.

Gabe777's "solution" doesn't properly address the issue. Adjusting contrast and gamma in the control panel has a universal effect. You might get a greener scene, but the cockpit goes darker, and vice versa; and it affects whatever you have on-screen, not just the sim. XVision is the best add-on for trying to deal with washed-out colours, but takes a little more than 30 seconds to tune.

Postscript: The best method I've found so far is XVision (which costs money and I've had it running almost since it came out) plus the XtremeRealisticV6.wvs preset (which I've only just discovered, and is free). This preset - unlike many others I have tried - produces good results out of the box. For me, V6 does a lot to improve the general XP default washed-out colours.

Personally I use ReShade. Free, can tweak on the fly and has filters that no other software has. Especially Clarity goes a long way to make X-Plane pop.
