October 18, 20187 yr Hello, look at my screenshot on the Bottom of this Topic. In my opinion the nightlight is to bright, the whole Aircraft isn't dark enough. I think it is caused by the moonlight but is there a chance to fix it and get the nightlight darker? I also get shadows on the aircraft during the night... https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-147fa9-1539847685.png.html Thank you for response P.S. I'm using Tomatoshade.

October 18, 20187 yr Author I use TomatoShade with RD 1.7 and found this items: Moon Diffuse Factor Moon Ambient Factor Both are on 1.00
October 18, 20187 yr Simple fix without another perpetual add-on. Switch your monitor setting to Theater Mode or equivalent (if you have such a setting). Takes two seconds. Costs nothing.😉
October 18, 20187 yr Is it the entire world that you think is too bright or just the airplane itself? If it's just the airplane you can use the Moon Diffuse Factor to darken the bright areas on the airplane at night - the light emanated by the moon onto the airplane. A lower figure than 1.00 will darken. If you find the entire world too bright at night you can turn down your HDR lighting settings a bit at night, that's what I do anyway. Or you can use the TONEMAP_NIGHT_EXPOSURE_KEY=0.130000 tweak in the prepar3d.cfg. 0.130000 is the default value. Just remember to back up your original file.
October 19, 20187 yr I prefer TOGAs Envshade. Simple to install, no hassle with settings. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
October 19, 20187 yr Author @threegreen What does the TONEMAP_NIGHT_EXPOSURE_KEY Tweak do and in which direction do I have to change value? I think the light emanated by the moon onto the airplane. I get a shadow on wings on Flight Level due to vertical stabilizer e.g. Edited October 19, 20187 yr by mobiel
October 19, 20187 yr I don't think the airplane on the screenshot you posted is too bright. It's a mostly white livery so the fuselage will be quite bright when illuminated by the moonlight and you're going to have shadows too. When the full moon is shining through my window I get lots of shadows from the window frame in the room too. Anyway, if you don't like the airplane but the world around you is fine you should use the Moon Diffuse Factor in the Aircraft Lighting & Saturation tab in TomatoShade rather than the TONEMAP_NIGHT_EXPOSURE_KEY as this will darken everything, not just the airplane. In both cases, lower values mean less light. Edited October 19, 20187 yr by threegreen
October 20, 20187 yr Author @threegreen I set TONEMAP_NIGHT_EXPOSURE_KEY from 0.17 to 0.1 and i think it is a good value. And I set Diffuse Moonlight to 0.1 but it is not perfect. Maybe you are right because of the white livery but in my opinion it is caused by the aircraft reflection due to Tomatoshade
October 20, 20187 yr Do what works best for you and your sim/system. 0.1 is pretty low, moonlight at that value will be very faint. Do you want to not be able to see the fuselage at all during night?
