Fenix Cockpit Brightness

Featured Replies

Hello all... With the latest update from a week ago, one of the fixes was saying that the cockpit was made brighter.  For me, i don't see any change and almost feel as though it is darker.  Is there a graphics setting in the sim or in my Nvidia settings that I should make sure i have enabled?  When I look down to the thrust levers, it gets brighter, but looking straight ahead it gets much darker.  I think that is a MSFS "feature" (that I hate..) but I thought the new update might have fixed that.  Any thoughts? Thanks so much!

Although I have not flown the Fenix since the latest update, go into your UserCfg.opt file and in the PostProcess section change the 'ColorGrading' option to zero.  This will greatly reduce the Eye adaptation effect in all aircraft.  I also use some Nvidia Freestyle filters where you can brighten shadows to your liking.  Between these two things, this eye adaptation "feature" ( I also hate it...) has been mostly solved for me.

I'll check that out.  Where is the UserCfg.opt file?  Thanks

Where do you have the Freestyle filters?  I don't see that in Geforece Experience

For the Steam version, it is in Users/Name/Appdata/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator

If you have MS Store, you can just search it on your system.

I can pull up the filters using 'Alt F3'.  I can't recall if you need to enable Freestyle in GF Experience or not. The only 2 filters I use are 'Color' and 'Brightness/Contrast'.
