April 24, 20215 yr Spoiled by MSFS graphics during daylight, I've started to use P3D (5.1.HF1) only during night time. I'm flying mainly PMDG a/c between HQ add-on airports, so I created a P3D graphic profile "Night Mode" but I'm still struggling with the optimal settings. Off course I've disabled cloud shadows and reflections, but performance is still critical at some airports. Another question, Enhanced Atmospherics On or Off - I'm still undecided in this one. It also seems that EA ON is not consistent in its appearance. Sometime my a/c and the terrain looks great, at other situations my a/c appears in St. Elmos fire and water reflections are insane. What are your experiences, any suggestions? - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).

What are your experiences, any suggestions? my best advice is keep your AA at MSAA level, don´t use SSAA because it is really hard when loading dynamic lights.

April 25, 20215 yr The crazy water reflections appear when you have no reflection checked in the settings. I suggest checking at least user aircraft. It should get rid of it. Other than that, as someone said, be reasonable with AA settings. That's the worst nighttime killer.
