January 3, 20251 yr Hi, Is there a way to turn off cockpit shadows? (MSFS2020) As in: the sun is shining in the cockpit and casts partially shadows on the instruments. In the winter, with lower sun, I find the shadows very annoying making it very hard to read some of the instruments If only all shadows can be turned off, fine with me as well.

January 3, 20251 yr Potentially with the setting called «shadow quality»? You cant switch off only cockpit shadows though and turning off shadows turns MSFS2020 in a waaaay worse looking sim imho. But each to their own... I would rather start playing around with gamma and filters to see the instruments better in the mentioned conditions before turning off shadows...

January 4, 20251 yr Author Roger, got it. Thanks. Need to invest some time in filters and such Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024 System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro

It can be hard sometimes to read. But in that case I just change my position in the cockpit for a moment to the center or the copilot's seat.

January 4, 20251 yr If you don't mind me saying, it seems a little like you're using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut, dealing with the issue rather than the cause You know your rig better than me, but It sounds like your monitor is not setup correctly... only a guess. If the monitor has an option to run in HDR, then that would help. Failing that, I would recommend going to the nvida control panel, or similar, and adjusting the gamma. Failing that, you could download the nvidia experience and use the filter settings. There are a mass of changes you can make to the picture, including brightness, contrast and gamma. I hope you can sort it.

I already increased the shadow maps to 4096 and that helped.
