Bought PTA: I was afraid this would happen

Of course you are running too many Post processing shaders!!, I use only Re-shade, the video is asking people to use PTA + Reshade. Which is personal think is bonkers.

You should use one or another.

S.

I'll stick to PTA, wasn't getting CTD's. I can't find the uninstaller for reshade now. Is it a matter of manually deleting the files from the p3dv4 main directory?

I was in the same situation. I got PTA and had trouble finding a preset I really liked.

I then gave URP a go and haven't looked back at PTA since. I use URP skies and shaders high contrast without reshade and the recommended HDR settings. Don't use the sun mod since I have that from ENVTEX together with clouds.

Really happy with this setup!

This is exactly why I never got PTA. URP is awesome and doesn't need PTA.

Richard, do you know if URP 1.1 works in Prepar3d v4.1?

Everyone is happy with PTA because it makes P3D v4 look amazing.

Except those like me who use other stuff to tweak it, there are other choices.

Big Mistake, Carlo. A huge one. My friendly suggestion is to reconsider

Maybe. If they do a sale around Black Friday... ;-)

True, but this thread is about PTA & presets and not about other options.

Thopat has the contrast ramped up

In Pta go to contrast tuning on the left near the bottom and set the default value of 0.5

Higher values increase contrast, that's one of the reasons it's so dark. 

Boom!

That, then tweak with HDR settings.

Yep, as far as I've been able to tell after some quick testing it seems to work just fine.

Am sure they look great at your end but on my screen they have a terrible Blue cast.

A perfect eg of monitors quality and calibration. What we see in front of us is not what someone can see on there screen.

I just looked at these on an old monitor and they looked better but everyone has to set it up for their screen.

Not directed to me but this comment made me curious...would you mind expanding a bit on why using URP would be a big mistake?

I certainly haven't noticed what would be a mistake using it for quite an amount of hours by now. I find it excellent!

Exactly , turn down a bit the blue then I it will look great on your monitors too.

Or , I think that you might prefer this better  : HDR&Post-processing section --> Scene Tone Adjustment

BTW : already I am finetuning my new P3Dv4.1 preset, which I will upload this weekend.

Big mistake is not using PTA - that's what I meant initially :-) For me, no PTA = no P3D, it's a primary add-one perhaps before the FTX Sandwich
