Photoscenery extremely overexposed in 4.4

[Sky_King]

Obviously if photoscenery worked fine in 4.3 and below, something changed in 4.4+ which was apparently an unintended consequence of other changes made by LM. See https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/5600 ... es/page/2/

Or an innocent small change that suddenly made all corner-cutting by the add-on manufacturers become obvious.

We have no way of knowing exactly what changes were made in the coding in either P3D or the add-ons, so we can point fingers for a long time here.

I have all the UTX sceneries for P3D plus a few freeware photoscenery add-ons, all qualified for P3D v. 4.5, and none of the issues described in this thread appear in any of these.

hi guy's

Just to tell you, I've the same problem.
It's a problem with p3d v4.4 or v4.5 because I tried to re-instal the client of v4.3 and the problem disapear.
Today, I installed the client V4.5 Hotix 2 and I would hope that the problem was solve but not.
To wait I modify the value of TONEMAP_DAY_EXPOSURE_KEY at 0.21 in the prepar3d.cfg . It's little bit better but all the screen seem darker.

I hope that this problem will be solved in the next update

I will take the liberty to quote myself:

"I have all the UTX sceneries for P3D plus a few freeware photoscenery add-ons, all qualified for P3D v. 4.5, and none of the issues described in this thread appear in any of these."

So, given this, is it a P3D problem?

Jorgen

[Sky_King]

Yes, since it happens from more than one developer.

[JorgenSA]

Or, the other possibility:

More than one add-on, from more than one developer, has the problem.

If it was a P3D issue, I should also see it, and in all my photoscenery add-ons. I don't.

Do you guys with over exposed scenery have HDR Lighting enabled in the Options-Graphics-Lighting? I did and with Mega Scenery X installed I had the high exposure problem until I unchecked HDR Lighting and that fixed my problem.
