ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue: HDR on PC is very broken right now in the beta. Some of the issues here are even regressions from earlier sim builds.
Issues that I’M seeing at the moment are:
- raised black point, making the image appear very washed out. This is especially bad on my OLED display, since night just becomes a grey mess instead of proper black.
- auto exposure is way too aggressive for HDR (similar to the other thread, but this is a specific HDR issue). It almost feels like the algorithm is working like it has an SDR image, even with HDR enabled.
I will add more specific issues once I find them. All in all, the issues combine to make the image really feel not HDR at all any more, especially flying at dusk and at night.
Did you experience this issue before you joined the Beta?
The raised black point was an issue in the release build, but was already fixed in December. Now it’s back.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes, but this is not an add-on issue, but a rendering issue with the core simulator.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time, but the issue becomes much more noticeable from dusk till dawn.
