Dear flight friends,

I know this has been a discussion in the past but since a couple of weeks I've given reshade another chance because the nvidia filters app kept crashing.

In broad daylight the scenery looks extremely bland and dull from within my Pmdg 737. The outside view is a lot better. Tried a lot of reshade settings and plugins but with very little result.

I also use Rex Atmos which helps in some situations.

 

Compared to P3D and xp12 it looks like a bucket of bleach is spread over the surface.

Is there another way to make the scenery look less dull in msfs 2020?

 

Any suggestions would be welcome.

 

Tnx

Jozeff 

Some pictures would have been good to give us a better idea of your issue.

Do not use reshade? 😉

I use reshade/nvidia filters to get rid of the ugly washed out scenery in the first place. 

I wonder if there is a shader available that only tweaks this phenomenon. Flying in evening or late afternoon looks a lot better but in broad daylight it's as if the ground is fluorescent or ☢️.

I know it has something to do with eye adaption. When looking at interior brightness increases and the outside view is less bright also. But looking through the window from within the cockpit is awful.

My triple monintor setup does not help either.. the main monitor looks ok but the window vieuws in side screens are ugly as hell

 

Thanks

Jozeff

Try this: in UserCfg.opt switch off Eye adaption (set to 0).

In MSFS2020 I spent countless hours trying to get the ground to look less bland (washed out). I used Nvidia filters and then reShade.  Since I installed MSFS2024, no filters are required.

So, install 2024.

I don't think politics or religion can be discussed here on Avsim.  lol

Do you use rex accuseason?

As i do.

Switch off terrain texture coloring.

Fixed it for me.

2020 I needed filters to saturate the image, in 2024 I don't. the poster is having the same problem I did with 2020, so relevant advice.

What's the issue with my post that deserved that reply?
