I would like an Ali Landry option please.

That one is a bit above my head!  Is he a graphics expert of some kind! :blink:

I would just like to be able to adjust the gamma in MSFS, set contrast and black levels. 

Which would be a major support also (but not exlusively) for the VR users.

Kind regards, Michael

Oops!  Yes.  Google is good.  I should have looked. :unsure:

I suppose the trick to all of this is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If you ask 10 people what looks real… you might not get 10 unique answers but i doubt you’ld get one.  It’s not really abdicating responsibilty on the devs part when there isn’t one unassailable answer to any of the criteria being discussed above (too little haze, too much haze, bloom/no-bloom etc).  If you don’t like to tweak …. Don’t tweak.  The sim looks pretty fabulous now.

You could also argue since the ‘correct’ answer to the best settings is quite subjective, it would be an easy automatic survey on their part if they built in a reporting back to Asobo on the most common community selections.  These could be bundled up into presets to make it easier for newcomers down the road.

I’d vote for them taking a stab at some reasonable presets now and hiding “advanced” sliders in a sub menu for those who want to tinker.

That is exactly right.  And there lies the essence to this problem.  That is why I think adjustable settings are the key really, to take any blame away from the developers for the sim being too bright or too dark etc.

With cosmetic adjustments, it is hard to foul anything up really, so the developers could say 'here are the sliders to alter the gamma or sharpness etc. - tweak away!  But if you mess anything up, all you have is the 'return to defaults button', don't call us!'  :smile:

I'm sure that a few sliders to get the best personal settings for our setup isn't beyond the average simmer, I'm all for sliders but Asobo shouldn't make us having to alter the cfg file to get our desired config, it's 2021 not the 1990's.

She is an actress who does politics in her spare time and, for her cause (on which I will not come back), declared that « silence was not an option ». I think that Stoopy refers to that.

Simming since 1981 -  [email protected] GHz with 16 GB of RAM and a 1080 with 8 GB VRAM running a 27" @ 2560*1440 - Windows 10 - Warthog HOTAS - MFG pedals - MSFS Standard version with Steam

 

Great Suggestions Here.

 

My Immersion Killer is how bright and large Runway lights are at Night from far away. A Slider so we could reduce the size Light Output would be fantastic as we know in real life they are hard to see 5 miles out...

Since many users want sliders for brightness, gamma, saturation and more, please make sure to vote in this thread as well. Seems like this request is somewhat underrepresented.

Done, This escaped me so far.

I don't get this. More sliders? 

Yeah, let's turn this into a sliders and tweak sim.

No altruistic, socially-responsible or political reference from me. I just find her very easy on the eyes. 😁

My suggestion (from earlier in this thread) is simple Ricardo.

Here's your graphics settings screen;

One big slider, Ultra/High/Medium/Low  -- you're /done/, if you want to be done.

and below that....a big huge button for "Advanced Settings"

In the future

RT Shadows low to ultra

RT reflections low to ultra

DLSS and fidelityFX

particle effects low to ultra 

VRAM allocation size like COD - not 100% sure on this though

ultra ultra mode

Vegetation low to ultra, adjusts tree and foliage variance 

gamma

saturation

more adjustability and user friendly rewording for vsync in game.

film grain, sepia and b&w modes for those classic flights
