June 18, 20214 yr Moderator I like the last part Quote Finally, the new pipeline can run screen space reflections (SSR), dynamic exposure, bloom and other effects (still to be previewed), all running with real world photometric HDR values.

As it dawns how bad an idea rendering in rgba always was for the entire industry. AutoATC Developer
June 18, 20214 yr looks like how EA appears in P3D...😊 (i know you´re gonna hate me...)

June 19, 20214 yr Don't need any eye candy in my engineering tools. Eye candy is not for aviators and engineers, but for game players. Laminar Research customer -- Asobo/MS customer -- not an X-Aviation customer - or am I? 😉

I take it you are a Microsoft rather than Apple engineer type - doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it breaks often. Edited June 19, 20214 yr by mSparks AutoATC Developer

But enough people do to keep them in business, despite generally charging double for that diff. In a vein effort to keep it related to the topic, there was just a fairly interesting (but generally way over my head) back and forth on one of the dev channels related to these kind of differences. Mainly related to how various parts of the different pieces of hardware and software in the chain deals with color, mobile/windows/mac even monitors for high end photography and variations within the same manufacturers. Made me wonder if some of the people who couldnt see the diff in the preview video or were seeing things i I couldnt have some issues with the colors given out from their hardware. One of the hardest bugs I worked though with someone back when I would actually try and help people with issues on the org was someone whose color problems were all in their monitor/tv. They were going crazy over screenshots that looked perfectly normal to me and everyone else, eventually got them to look at their own screenshots on their phone to work out there was nothing wrong with the screenshots or xplane - it was some weird hdmi issue basically putting them in 256 color mode on the TV. hmmm, theres a meme for that: from back in the day when memes conveyed important and intelligent messages.

I have 2 monitors and yes color is different between them both, different brands, but I am for TV background ans used to calibrate monitors.
