White Dynamic Lights in P3D overly bright

[Wise87 1,281]

Last night I loaded up in the QW787 at  the KDTW beta when I noticed that the taxi and landing lights on the 787 were extreme overpowering. Even the DL for the airport seems too bright. I was wonder if the white DL may be a file that got replaced by another program or maybe HDR and Envtex is effecting the lighting. On HDR I use 1.10 / 0.5 / 1.0

Loaded up in Atlanta and had same results on runway with lights, very blinding.

Yes it is possible your current HDR + Envtex combination is causing this. I believe Envtex has some recommended settings for HDR, are you using those?

Another possibility is your current screen calibration, some screens have dynamic HDR or brightness profiles, check this.

Hi @Wise87,

It could possibly be envshade, under some rare cases (usually because the dynamic lighting effect is already set too bright by a 3rd party developer or when a user does not use our recommended Bloom setting in P3D) the enhanced envshade night bloom creates an overbright lighting.

To counter this effect I'd first recommend to decrease the HDR night bloom setting in Envdir 🙂

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Well I have tried everything. Turned off Envshade, adjusted Envshade, turned of HDR etc. I'm still getting overblown lights on the 787. I even updated the P3D content. Maybe it's something in the P3D.CFG. I'll try a clean one. Clean CFG did not help. I wonder if it's immersion.

First HDR: 0.9 / 0.1 /1.0

If that doesn’t help :rebuild your default Shaders. Un-reinstall P3D client.
