November 18, 20232 yr I've calibrated my colors pretty well. Most of the sim looks nice. It's literally just viewing the aircraft itself from the outside on the sun side. It's way too much saturation on the plane itself. 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

November 19, 20232 yr This debate reminds me of an earlier one several years ago when MSFS2020 was new. The issue then was whether the clouds in MSFS were rendered sufficiently true-to-life. One simmer commented that he had just looked at the clouds outside in the real world, and they looked very unrealistic! This might well apply to the current thread -- look outside your house on a bright sunny day and see if the colors are washed out! Edited November 19, 20232 yr by cobalt
November 19, 20232 yr Looks like half of us feel that the colors are washed out, the other half that they're oversaturated. Given the random variations in monitor calibration out there, I guess that FS2020 has the color rendition about right. With regard to the HDR calibration, I assume that we're only referring to those individuals who have HDR monitors and that they have turned on the Windows and FS2020 HDR functions. I purchased such a monitor about a year ago, and when I turned on HDR in FS2020, I was amazed by the result. Totally worth the cost/effort.

November 20, 20232 yr Author Some of you understand the issue and most of you don't. This is a metal surface with paint on the livery. In this case, Amercan livery is grey, not white as seen in the pic. There should be some shine to it, not as much as the wings cause they are bare metal, but there should be still some reflection on the grey paint. So I don't know if it's a texture issue or a color issue. Gnacino Edited November 20, 20232 yr by Gnacino

The American livery definitely does look light grey to me in the pic, definitely not white. And it will look brighter due to the time of day. This has to be a monitor calibration issue I think. Either that or it really is just individual differences in colour perception. If you look at the last tail stripe down below the tail-plane, the last stripe is white and there is a definite difference between that and the grey fuselage (for me).

The pic and the sim in general do not look over-exposed to my eyes. This is a subjective situation to which we all respond differently, and we would do well to leave it at that.
