December 31, 20214 yr Hi all, So i was just flying around and i realised i'm not seeing any stars. I do use Stargazer but the issue is the same with that uninstalled too. This is on a vanilla install of P3D. It seems with EA turned off in the latest version you cannot see hardly any stars. All my settings are the same so i have no idea what is going on. I have added an image of what it looked like in 5.2 compared to 5.3. If anybody knows of anything i can do to get better star visuals while having EA turned off i would very much appreciate it. First is what i had and second is what it is now. Edited December 31, 20214 yr by charliearon Removed developer's name

OK, by clicking and enlarging the images, I can make out some lights and a star.

January 1, 20224 yr I can see a significant difference between the two. Unfortunately, I do not have P3Dv5, so I am unable to offer any suggestions.

January 1, 20224 yr What about the stars.dat file ? Does that have an effect in 5.3 ? Mine is ~1.414 MB in size (in 4.5) but is a custom job with many more stars visible.

With EA off you can hardly see them, Once i turn EA on it is very visible. It looks like with 5.3 they have reversed how it was previously, I could see barely any with EA on ( Which did not matter much to me as i fly with EA off ) Now they have changed that.

This would be an item to raise over on the P3D forum. You've explained it well, and have example screen shots and the issue is clearly reproducable.

Few other goodies there too to enhance the visuals.
