September 21, 20205 yr I'm done dialing in my custom NVIDIA Freestyle profile, using selected Reshade shaders including Ambient Light and Bloom to simulate a Raytracing effect and finetune the final image of the simulator for a more natural yet cinematic look. It works flawlessly, improves upon MSFS'S vibrant atmosphere and has no performance impact. The "color bleeding" and amplification of the light enhances the cockpit and exterior views adding to the overall realism of the scene. It's especially useful in recreating a high altitude cockpit atmosphere. Additionally, my preset corrects the slightly overexposed sky (incl. clouds) and adds a vignette and chromatic aberration effect at the edges - that's a matter of taste, but for me on a simulated (headset) 160" screen, this happens in my peripheral vision and increases the perceived depth of the image. MSFS is fully compatible with NVIDIA Freestyle, which recently started offering the original Reshade filters. Freestyle is already included and installed on your system, just enable the experimental features in GeForce Experience's settings. You only have to download the Reshade shader pack from Crosire's GitHub. Then, set your key bindings in GeForce Experience. Bottom line, you get powerful post processing (at no performance cost) out of the box, no hacks, seamlessly integrated. Freestyle doesn't allow the export of profiles, however if there is interest, I may be able to find a way to share this. The shots are in 1080p (Res. scaling 150%) coming straight out of the sim. These screens also feature 8K shadow maps (as opposed to stock 2K), link is in my signature.

September 21, 20205 yr You dont need freestyle for this. You can also directly download Reshade with the necessary shaders and play around with it in the sim.

September 21, 20205 yr Cool shots. Mind sharing your freestyle settings ? Baber My Youtube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/HDOnlive
September 21, 20205 yr Hmm, I am unable to get Freestyle to work in MSFS as I get a message that a "supported game is required". I have the Steam version, could that be the issue??

I don't have the Steam version so I can't test it, but Steam buyers can use the original Reshade, it has the same shaders. - Currently giving X-Plane 12.10 a spin on Shadow PC. 10 years with X-Plane now, since 10.20

Thanks..it actually worked after I rebooted the sim! Testing it out now...thanks for the suggestion!
