December 31, 20214 yr I always wanted to use E.A., but never knew that I could turn off HDR (too dark cockpit, etc) in the .cfg file but still enjoy E.A. But since finding that out on the forum..and turning it off (in the .cfg), I have great cockpit rendering (illumination) with still using E.A. for all its benefits... This is flying out of Palm Beach south towards Key West (eventually), at 3,500 ASL, over Orbx T.E. Florida with all the graphic sliders to the right. Edited December 31, 20214 yr by Sesquashtoo
December 31, 20214 yr Moderator I have tried it but found the ground colour too blue. Just like when you took a photo with a film camera and no UV filter. Back on EA=Off for me.

I found that this has really worked for me... I DO like HDR, but too bad, that the interiors and cockpits are almost non usable... but hey, grateful that you can choose...HDR on or off via the .cfg file.
December 31, 20214 yr for me hdr looks very weird despite having a display that supports it 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
December 31, 20214 yr For weeks have tried different configurations and finally - HDR off, EA off and adjusted sim environment to my liking with Reshade and Envshade. Another advantage - my system is less loaded and less prone for VRAM issues. Artur

It's so great to read that it seems everybody, or almost everybody is having a blast with v5.3 HF1 LF....and a month ago, you could shoot a canon off in this forum...now...you can't even walk a straight line, for the shoulder to shoulder forum activity now, since its release. So glad to see it... If anybody thought that P3D was dying out....well, they haven't much visited this forum of late....

So,...no turning back on for me. Now..I don't turn E.A. off and on...and that is what he might be doing. I can call down anything else on the menu and HDR stays at 0 in the config, but if you do turn it on and off (E.A.) via the menu...that, I can't comment about. I want it off, (HDR) and E.A. on...so, I don't come possibly across that.
