I really like the new sim, but I have a strange problem: The display is much too bright. Not the cockpits, but the whole scenery and especially the clouds. The clouds don't show any details in the distance, it's only a "very white", bright mass and the scenery is "milky, washed out" and bright greenish during flight. I tried everything (Windows settings, monitor settings), but no success. 

My specs are: 8700k (4.8 Ghz), 32 GB, RTX2800 (3840x2160, no HDR), LG 47". 

Any hint or advise? 

Thanks a lot! 

 

Is your monitor hardware calibrated?

Mine is, professionally calibrated. And it stinks. Particularly the TBM at night. I can’t see any of the switches around the pfd.

I'm amazed frankly to think that anyone has developed this sim and thinks that washed out cloud textures and blindingly white highlights are acceptable.

Well, than you will need to continue to be amazed at a sim that has been widely and almost universally praised for its visual fidelity and close to photorealistic graphics.

So you are clearly happy with it looking like that?

So they should stop all work on the graphic engine now since it's so good - no need to improve on it?

And people wonder why flight sims have been so far behind other AAA titles in terms of graphics; we settle and accept what he get, and we better be glad we have what they gave us...god forbid they might take it away from us. It's not like we are "paying" money for a product. We should just take it no matter what we get. 

"Love it or get out"? Is this the mantra we should get behind?

I think MSFS2020 is the best thing that has happened to simming for a long time, but it has a long way to go. That  journey begins with gaining feedback from the community, so the sim can grow and flourish, getting better all the time along the way. It does that by being grown up and honest enough to itself by taking on board the criticisms as well as the praise, and to be fair, there is much of that, and truly worthy.

I dont know, I might be. Maybe post a screenshot or two. It's easy to shoot in the wild when there are variables like software configuration and monitor calibration involved.

Ecstatic really. It looks so lifelike.

Other than adding ray tracing, yes they absolutely should not mess with the lighting and atmospheric effects. They are near perfect for me and the majority of people based on reviews I've read.

 

 

I think a very simple solution would be to add a setting for HDR peak brightness. This issue really only happens in HDR when the peak brightness of the content exceeds the peak brightness of your display, and clips, causing the overexposed highlights. This happens with every piece of HDR media that exceeds peak brightness, including games, movies, etc. But HDR games usually have a peak brightness setting, allowing you to set the peak brightness for your monitor to eliminate clipping and detail loss, where as MSFS2020 does not.

 

The only other issue with brightness is with the eye adaptation (in HDR and non-HDR modes), for which there is no fix considering the dynamic lighting (and subsequently; the need for eye adaptation).

I turn the eye adaption in the user.cfg off. this helps also.
