Fixed the issues, now need input - which Preset to keep!? PTA+URP+ReShade + P3DV4

[flyerguy7773 6]

OK...so I got all the ReShade and PTA, URP and P3D issues worked out with the help of the wonderful AVSIM forums. Been playing around with peoples presets, and I like all of them...to varying degrees...but having trouble settling in on one. So, take a look at the pics, and lmk what you like best! The presets are from either AviationLads (http://www.aviationlads.com/my-settings/), Pilot Pete (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10nPl-ydnBc), or the FlightBeam Visual Pack (http://flightbeam.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2647). In all of the presets I have my settings the same in P3D and am getting a solid 30-50fps on the ground with PMDG aircraft at FSDT JFK, and 40-60fps in the air. I have fps locked to 65 in the nVidia inspector tool. I can share my settings if you want. 

FlightBeam Preset

Aviation Lads Cold Season preset

Pilot Pete:

My thoughts are that Aviation Lads and FlightBeam are the top contenders. Pilot Pete is good but a bit bland for me, although it looks much better in his pics I think thats cause he has tons of addon scenery like ORBX, etc, and does a lot of VFR low flying. 

LMK what you think! Also, if any of you know the settings to reduce the brightness on the sun hitting the aircraft without turning down overall sim brightness...lmk too :)

Have a great rest of the weekend!

I’m digging the FlightBeam preset. 

Question: are you running shadows at or near max? I don’t see any jagged edges and I continue to get them no matter what setting I put it on. I keep it on 512 for performance.

I get some jagged edges, but less visible when you zoom out. These are my settings, if that helps
