v5 EA recommended lighting settings

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm about to start my first flight in v5. Wil try with EA on.

Any lighting settings recommendation to make it look realistic?

I set brightness to 1.30, bloom to 0.0 and saturation to 0.80. Auto exposure disabled. I'm happy with my results, however cockpit is too dark + too much contrast. Auto exposure brightens up scene a little but I don't like this effect.

I think everyone has it's own taste, different monitors and color profiles, so it may be hard to give you "perfect" settings. Just try with your HDR sliders 🙂

I find it is too dark in cockpit and too bright outside in v5.1 HF1. Is there any ways to solve?

I think we all are on the hunt for a perfect answer to this question right now.

I tried to modify (NGXu - EA+HDR) cockpit lighting using latest Envshade. There is an option to adjust VC and I was able to brighten up cockpit a little bit but... in the night when you turn on cockpit dome lights it's extremaly dark and over-contrasted - more then without any modifications. So this Envsade option is good during a day only. In P3Dv4.5 I used Tomatoshade (sun diffuse and ambient diffuse parameters) to brighten up the cockpit and it worked very well, however it was for no-HDR scenario. I would be happy if someone find a solution. I posted on LM forum a suggestion to make an option to adjust VC brightness (+ contrast). If it's possible with shader tools I suppose it's possible to do with P3D itself. I think aircraft developers must modify textures once again. BTW I'm very happy with new P3D version. I hated EA, now I fly with EA enabled and it's very stable for me and looks nice (however night enviroment must be polished).

Can you share your Envshade for brighten up VC? And I think the "darkest" cockpit should be QW787.......

I'm at work so have no access to my home PC 🙂 As I remember there's one slider at the bottom ("Aircraft"). You must set it max to the left. I didn't touch any other sliders (all set to "Normal").

Good. And look forward your EA settings.

Just tried this out with those same settings and my picture looks way different. Everything is so dark with Envshade that I can barely see outside. If I turn HDR off, I get a much better balanced lighting in the cockpit, but this also brightens up the surround scenery too much. Suggestions?

Thank you folks for this topic.  I find my settings too blue and too bright.  I look forward to hearing what settings others are using.
