I have an LG OLED 65 inch TV, and I can confidently say that HDR is a marketing con. All it does is skew the brightness / color / contrast curves to give the illusion of extra vibrance and dynamic range. But whatever it does has to nevertheless fit within the panel’s fixed limits.

I can spot HDR images a mile away in photography, mild HDR is fine, but most do it excessively and it just looks so wrong.

Anything in what causes this in 2023? Your description matches the issue i Just encountered best. As If it battled a very high Crosswind…
I’m looking for some input here.
SimBrief is giving me a Block Fuel quantity of 10,820 lbs. for the -100. However, the max fuel load this aircraft can take is 9418 lbs.
The aircraft has an 880 NM range and this flight I’ve setup is only 383 NM. The enroute burn is est. to be 5523 lbs. Why does it want nearly twice that in fuel (so much so that I can’t even fill it that full)?
SimBrief has assigned an initial altitude of 32000’, but the spec card on the Aircraft Selection sheet for the aircraft says max ceiling 31000’.
I didn’t do anything overtly special. I just chose KBUR to KSTS with the BAe 146-100. I tried both the default profile and the profile by pulmy. Everything else was default settings and auto for load, etc. Extra fuel is at zero.
This is the first time I’ve tried to use SimBrief with the 146.
It looks like you’re mixing up kg and lbs. Max fuel is 9418 kg on tthe second profile you used.
The additional fuel is to cover contingency, alternate (SFO when I entered your example) and final reserve. This does indeed almost double the fuel the actual flight and taxi require. The breakdown is shown on the first page of the Simbrief OFP.
You can set Contingency, Reserve and Alternate to None on the New Flight page under Selections. The Extra Fuel field under Options is for additional fuel over and above Contingency, Reserve and Alternate.
The fuel line on the Weights table on the 3rd page of the OFP shows Estimated and Max and the Fuel Max is listed as 20.8 so approx. 20,800 lbs. 20,763 lbs on the Simbrief profile.
The service ceiling is shown as 35,000’ on the pulmy profile.
I agree. But to tell you the truth I was so blown away by the visual upgrade that I saw over my old LCD monitor that I wanted to share. I’ve applied some recommended settings to the TV now that have reduced the HDR oversaturation a lot.
I had a great (but short) flight in the BAE146 today from EGBB (Birmingham UK) to EGGP (Liverpool UK). Mainly to try out my new TCA Airbus Stick and Throttle but I ended up using a printed BAE checklist too and found that really helpful - it ended up as my best flight so far 
Thank you. I was completely missing this.
Altering that on the EFB made everything become crystal clear.
Another question:
I’m trying to enter values on the EFB and the number pad pops up, but clicking numbers doesn’t do anything. Thoughts?
Over saturation and HDR are two very different things. I’m sure the monitor is great, wandering around Curry’s I don’t think I’ve seen a bad screen, I’d buy any of them.
BAE 146 is a great aircraft, I picked it up a couple of months ago. Almost all my flying revolves around John Lennon Airport. Have you seen the yellow submarine at the front of the airport?

Glad that helped.
Sorry, but I don’t have the 146 so I can’t help you there.
It’s kinda finicky. Try clicking on the numbers themselves. If I just click somewhere on the button, or I click too quickly it doesn’t register.

For me it doesn’t even Pop Out. It’s a bug, introduced after the last update.
I cannot get over how good of a job Just Flight has done with this simulation of the 146.
Man, money is burning a hole in my pocket for their iteration of the F28.
These guys are really good at this!

You’re right. The care and attention to detail is really top notch.

There’s a reason .jxr (HDR) files are 15x the size of .jpg (SDR) files, and HDR video streams use so much more bandwidth than SDR video streams.
Whether you can enjoy the benefits of all that data depends a lot on the capabilities of your monitor.
I think HDR is of great benefit when flying high-quality aircraft like the BAE 146 on a monitor that can handle the increased color and grayscale dynamic range.

The Little Jumbojet that could is on sale on JustFlight so I finally got around to buying it. Just finished up the tutorial flight and it was pretty fun. A lot more involved than your typical airliner!
I did have a warning sound when I hit that CONFIG CHECK button before taking off but I had no clue what was wrong until I was climbing up through 20,000 feet and noticed the pressurisation gauge wasn’t doing anything, so obviously missed something there and the passengers would’ve had a fun ride.
Also had the autopilot disconnect a couple of times which I think was due to me not paying attention to my speed as I was busy poking around the cockpit and doing things, but no incidents.
Almost stalled on landing, ain’t really used to these big birds but that’ll improve with time.
Quite enjoyable overall and a really cool plane. Maybe I’ll get the Fellowship sometime next year too.
Oh yeah, I keep on forgetting I have the Man’s Best Friend mod by Got Friends enabled and have my pilot and co-pilot set to dogs.
It amuses me every time.

I don’t think config check checks pressurisatoin - it might think trim is out of bounds but it’ll also honk if the parking brake is still on too.
This is still their #1 MSFS product I feel, well worth it. One of the few planes I can put on a list of recommendeds.

I’ve been flying the BAE146 for just over a month now. It is my favourite plane and flying experience in MSFS.
I took off from Edmonton this morning in this wonderful plane and felt compelled to post.
I’ve already purchased the Just Flight PA28 bundle and will be purchasing the F28 when it’s released on Xbox.
Happy simmer… (Except for the white dot issue in MSFS)

You’ll like the F28. Just Flight guys nailed it again.

Just bought the 146. I’ve only so far messed about doing circuits at the local but it seems extremely difficult to land manually. In reality they do approach with a nose-down attitude but even at FL030 at about 8 miles out, doing around 135kts with flaps at 33, it’s still very hard to maintain any altitude unless the AOA is dangerously high. I intend to study some tutorials but I can at present only assume I’m missing something simple?
