I'm not in the beta but it seems to me they have toned down the overexposure in the cockpit? Looks much better all of a sudden. That blown out shift I used to get when looking down has also gone, which is great. 

They seem to make some changes server side on a regular basis.

yes I think they've changed something. In VR I can now use one of the tools to effectively reduce the exposure a bit while retaining the sky colour. This didn't work for me prior to su2

Lets hope it stays that way! 

Really? Some people in this bug thread seem to indicate the overexposure has gotten even worse with SU2b. To me this is one of the most annoying issues currently in the sim...

As I said, I'm not in the beta. 

Ahh, missed the *not* in the beta, sorry.

I see no change in lighting at all now when looking down into the cockpit. Previously the eye adjustment was a good idea but way overdone. Now it seems to have gone completely. 

in VR, there do seem to be hard edged / clearly visible shadows present at times during what appears to be an overcast environment (not realistic imo). I'm not sure if that was present prior to su2

Overexposure? Never heard of her...

Yes, mine doesn't look like that anymore. If anything the cockpit is a little too dark. Eye adaptation is still there but the transition is now very slow and never too bright to start with. I haven't changed anything.

You know you can set the backlight intensity in the menu, right? Why don't you lower it? Mine doesn't look anything like that. 

In SU2 there’s a slider for exposure. Seems to help

You know that the backlight intensity in the menu has an automatic function, right? Why does it not work as intended? (because MSFS only distinguishes between dawn, day, dusk, and night—not dynamic lighting changes in cloudy weather, which is an issue if they increase the exposure so dramatically in these conditions)

It works for me in the auto setting, if it doesn't work for you, use the manual setting. If you don't want to use it and prefer to have it like that, it's ok with me. Good luck.
