Hey guys, do you have any recomendation for the new settings? Brightness, turbulences, etc.? I would assume, that 5 would be the "medium" setting?

As far as visually goes, I have the terrain and object settings all on 5, you will probably have to stomp on the cloud shadows because you can get those puppies set to really, really dark and that makes visibility quite difficult. I also have the horizon set a 150 km. All the other settings are as they come in the game.

It has been running very smoothly for me, my computer has an I9 processor that runs at 3.6 gigs, and my vid card is an old RTX 2080 Super.

Here's what I'm working with:

Until we get a better explanation on the Terrain Brightness settings, I'm leaving them untouched.

Dryjo, you can see my settings and what they look like in my video in the Now Available thread, page 3. I'll have another video up in a few hours with the same settings.

Hallo @Pol, Hallo @WM,

glad to hear that you are healthy and back again! And Thanks to @WM for support during the last days!

I have a short question:
I'm not sure which setting at Weather System Max Size is better for older PC's with less performance.
You write on OTT PC Requirements "2".

I have changed it to "1! (lower number means lower quality and more performance). Is it right for this feature?


Greetings

Thanks Becker, getting there.

Correct, lower is less strain as it is reduced area of weather cells.

Check out this thread for details on what the settings do

Hallo,

a short info:
User, who fly in cockpit-view with "Player Goggles Glass" on and "Visibility" very high (f.e. 10), should consider this point, if they believe, the environment is too dark :

With "Player Goggles Glass" and "Visibility" very high (f.e. 10) you can see that the environment through the glasses is a bit pale, has less contrast and brightness compared to outside-view (you can see the difference also about the ground-labels, f.e. airfield, ground-unit, ... the blue writing and its grey background).
So with "10" you have a lot of spots and scratches, very realistic in my eyes, but also a little less brightness and contrast.
With "1" you have no spots and scratches, but the normal brightness and contrast of the environment as you can see from outside.
With "5" you see spots and scratches and the contrast / brightness is very close the outside-view, my favorite setting for this point (so far).

Maybe it's useful a little bit.

Greetings

Don't forget you also can brighten the terrain itself now as per the link I sent above. I prefer 6 for goggles with Terrain Brightness on 7 7 6 5. "Model brightness" on 6 or 7.
