The image begins to darken after su15

I ran into a problem. In a clear sky, during the day, in a port where there is a photographic backing, the image begins to darken, both on the ground and during approach (about 20-30 miles before the port). It all started after update 15. I don’t have any HDR. If you include a photo background (cgl script file), then everything is fine. I installed Windows and the entire SIM from scratch, the drivers are all new, I disabled EyeAdaptation 0 in the UserCfg.opt file, it didn’t help. For the sake of experiment, I installed the MSFS2020 map improvement and it shows everything well, but this is not a solution. Anyone who has encountered this, please suggest a solution.

If you could let me know what airport and gate you are at (along with time) I’ll try and capture some comparable images to see if its replicate.

URSS approach BINO1K, rw 02, time 06:45 z
UUWW parking 48, time 10:00 z

Thats very odd, although I dont have the same UUWW airport installed (hunting for it on marketplace) but I dont see the same darkness effect in vanilla UUWW. Wondering if its the airport causing it in U15 whenever you are inline with the airport.

I’m fine in vanilla UUWW. But in justsim-airport-uuww-vnukovo it’s starting to get dark for me. If I rename the sai310.cgl file to sai310.cgl.off, then everything is fine. This is not only in this port, but in many other places.
Here is vanilla UUWW, no dimming.

Custom airport would have been useful info in the original post. It would be worth contacting the developer of that addon.

This is not only this airport, but basically everywhere where there are custom cgl files.
