A clear and crisp environment

Featured Replies

After having moved to V5 HF2 I have been trying to get the sim to display a crisp and clear sunny day that would be close to real life. I've tried the default textures with no shaders, with Envshade and with the Nvidia panel, but always get a sort of a washout look and it never looks sharp as it would be in a clear sunny day. Didn't have issues in 4.5 and was wondering if anyone has any settings they would recommend to at least get close to reality. Otherwise performance is good and looking forward to the next version release.

Are you using the Enhanced Atmosphere (EA)?  I think the sim in general has always had that look and I do hope the lighting can be improved. It does look much better with EA on but too many other issues with it as it is still in beta but I see the potential with it..  I also had 4.5 looking really good but I had my customized PTA shaders.  I think LM changed a lot with the shaders in 5.0.....hope to see some nice improvements in 5.1.

I also turned off HDR - for me the sim looks cleaner without it.

Have disabled both EA and HDR looks better but hoping for improvement in P3D v1.1

 

Thanks for the feedback

I tend to keep HDR off but I also have custom settings on my display.  A simple press of a button gives me more vivid colors, better contrast, a bit brighter for when I fly.  That works for me.
