Brightnes of the Horizon


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, 

in RoF and BoS i got the feeling that the Horizon is to bright and its reducing the filed of view.

 

Anyone got the same feeling?

I agree it seems pretty bright in BOS, don't recall feeling that in ROF though has been a while since I have flown it.

I pretty much attributed the brightness more due to all the snow than anything, don't know if that is why or not though.

ROF horizon is also white (but can be due to my SweetFX though)  but not as much as in BOS.

ROF white horizon isn't an issue for plane spotting to me.

Maybe is Bloom effect ... ?

I wish  could turn it off in BoS in RoF you can  :biggrin:

Mustang, i'm not sure bloom is affecting horizon (correct me if wrong) but more reflecting surfaces to sun, such as plane parts and house's roof etc...

I never turn it in ROF.

I am fairly sure Fifi is right and BoS does not use bloom at all.

 

Play RoF with bloom on and it creates huge blooby glowing mushrooms of colour, really unnecessary when you have the good reflections that RoF has.

 

Seems to me that the horizon band is affected by the time of day: dawn patrols in RoF always seem to have a much narrower horizon band than at mid day, for example. When we get the mission editor we will be able to get a better idea.

It's the high contrast setting. For BoS it could only be disabled via the config file, which I did a few times. With it disabled, though, certain areas on the map where there were snow drifts had strange blue/green colors. So I went back to high contrast enabled. It is what causes a lot of the brightening of the snow, sky, horizon, etc.

But due to the bright horizon i can not see my tracer :( And it look Cartoonish to me.

 

In RoF i trid everything to reduce it but with no luck.

 

FiFi, i am using your SweeFX File for BoS all the time:) Have you trid to reduce the brightnes of the horizon in RoF?

Not yet Camille.

In the waiting, maybe try to lower the BOS gamma setting slider ingame?

It could help to reduce a bit. Probably in ROF too.
