Twotonemurphy Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hi All, is there anyway to increase the darkness of cloud shadows? Ive noticed that if I move the slider to 100 it has a negative impact inside the aircraft making all the panels too dark (like they are fogged out). I cant seem to get the ground shadows dark enough. They are working but very light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundog Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) It has to do with HDR mode. If you lower your graphics settings to a non-HDR setting, cloud shadows will appear darker. They way X-Plane's lighting system works internally in HDR mode doesn't allow us complete control over how dark the cloud shadows are, but we make them as dark as we possibly can. There are also some special cases, such as if haze is present, where we intentionally make the shadows less prominent. But it looks like visibility is good in your screen shot, so I don't think it's that. Edited April 27, 2020 by sundog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
