So after the last update I ran into a small bug where I had some visual glitches at the top of my screen. While searching the forums for others with the issue, I ran into one user say he fixed the problem by turning off Gamma Correction in his Nvidia control panel, and not only did it make the sim better, but it fixed the problem for him. Well, I was disappointed to see the bug still exists (Apparently it is an Nvidia bug with their latest 496 drivers) but thrilled to find my clouds look a million times better. I was always perplexed how others had these wonderful looking fluffy clouds, whereas on my computer no matter what time of day, any sort of clouds or overcast weather looked almost black and the sim was so dark it was unflyable. As such, I never did any flying in the rain or fly on any weather setting than “few clouds”. Now things look simply unreal, and the dark, grainy clouds are a thing of the past. I have been playing with different weather settings all evening and can’t believe how great the clouds look now! I can’t believe I didn’t see this fix for the dark clouds earlier, and just wanted to give others a heads up as well. The setting is under the Nvidia control panel and called “Anti Aliasing - Gamma Correction.” It is turned on by default. Not only do the clouds look better, but the trees and other scenery look so much better too!
Never improved anything for me, but updating the drivers did fix the glitchy pixels at the top.
Which drivers are you using now? I had the problem with the 496.49 drivers, and then tried the 496.13 set another user recommended and am still getting the glitchy pixels across the top of my screen. That’s weird you don’t see any difference with the Gamma Correction AA off on your machine. On mine it made a night and day difference!
Went away after updating to one of the 466 drivers, haven’t had the glitchy pixels since and I’m now on the latest hotfix driver 496.84 with AA Gamma correction turned on. GPU is a RTX 3080.
Do you have a screenshot comparison showing the cloud differences between AA Gamma correction on and off? Maybe I’m just not seeing it.
