¿Por qué algunos piensan que si suben la saturación al 150% en el editor de video, los gráficos deberían ser mejores? Es literalmente al revés. En la vida real, los colores se suavizan más o menos, con menos contraste, ya que nuestros ojos tienen un alto rango dinámico.

It's the current “Disney” trend, like when you post a photo with calibrated, natural light and colors and nobody likes it, then you crank up the light and saturation in Lightroom and suddenly you're the god of Instagram.

The same thing happens with MFS, even though 2024 has somewhat more natural lighting. Those Disney colors and Hollywood movie clouds and that clean, transparent atmosphere totally ruin the immersion for me.

But when the athosphere actually is "clean and transparent", like we have at Arlanda. 1030h hPa, -6 C outside today.
Visibility is virtually endless on days like these.

Then you fire up XP and is greeted with doomsday nuke as you depart.

So MSFS is Disney, I guess Xplane leans more towards Michael Bay then.

Somebody doesn't know about the "sim/view/sunglasses" command.

Somebody is very well aware of it.

But XP’s haze + exposure makes the scene nuclear.

If XP in the future can tweak its depiction of "visibility 10 kilometers" as our met-report was for today, this issue would not be remotely as profound. That's all.

If you want to know what you are up against visibility-wise, you can use the Data Output to display the Index #5 "Aircraft METAR vis/baro/...." field. This will show you on the screen which visibility X-Plane calculates for the current aircraft position.

Thanks.
Yesterdays real world weather is giving me 11,5 SM (roughly 18km) in XP. That's when the screenshot was taken.

Whereas the published data from our weather office for yesterday was 75 km (aside for a slight dip to 65km at 08 UTC).

That’s a 3-4 times visibility shortfall in crystal-clear winter air, based purely on the reported data versus the in-sim result.
