Not sure if there is a setting to help with it, but I've noticed that on planes with white liveries, the sunlit side will be too bright.  It's like the highlights are blown and there is no detail in the whites.  Here's a screen shot to show the effect....

Been like that forever.  They blow out highlights and the darks aren't dark enough for night flying etc.

We need to have control over the blending sort of like we did in P3D.

Easy fix for VR users, we have OpenXR Toolkit shade filter presets to tone the bright colors down.

 

 

Thanks, guys!  OK, sounds like it just is what it is for now.

I played around with nvidia CP settings and got night looking a little darker.  It's hard to do though, if you over-do it you can make your day not light enough.

Nvidia filters to suit what you like or want.

Nvidia filters, it's the way

Yeah...but hard to find right balance between day and night flying....Anyone can share their settings? I know it depends a lot on monitor used but would like other settings to experience more "choices"

With my AMD RX 6800XT graphics card, I can set custom monitor settings for any application, eg, MSFS. For example, brightness, contrast, gamma, color balance, etc can all be modified on a per application basis. 

It has been a while since I use Nvidia but surely there are similar capabilities in their latest drivers.

This is true and heavily dependent on monitor. I start with this guys 1st filter as it close to what I see real world from the cockpit. Start with it and then adjust vibrancy, Gama and brightness to your taste. Also as you find the look you like, make sure to move the time slider from morning to night so that your settings work and cover the full day range.

In control panel or where do I find those?

Always seemed odd to me that despite the multitude of bells whistles covering stuff I don't even understand there has never been any basic brightness/contrast/gamma control in the game🤷‍♂️

Hi,

Yes, Nvidia may be the way... 

But there is a problem after 551.23 Nvidia controller update: the Exposure filter is not working well. It is constantly resetting to "default" values (but I don't think that are "real" default values). The Colour filter has another issue: it changes the entire MSFS in pink colour and I have to deactivate completely. 

Regards.

You'll need to install Nvidia Geforce Experience.
