renault Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Just a few postcard shots, starting out my journey. I hope over the next while to visit as many different spots as I can. The lighting engine update in HF2 is different (subtly) than in previous versions, but I quite like how clouds rendering seems to have improved. Still lots to learn , but I hope you enjoy these Cheers Pete And before I start, a very big thank you to Misha Cajic @Misha Cajic . Ken Hall, @Ken Halland Tim Harris @Tim Harris Without them, I would not have had the endless hours of enjoyment their efforts have given me. All one can say .... Goodbye Santa Barbara .... I'll be back soon And hello , Santa Catalina Everyone who has a new camera knows this routine. You always play with settings when you're holiday , not when you're at home and have time to figure it all out. Why should I be any different with a updated sim?. This is an area called Hampton Cove. Haven't quite got the telephoto zoom set quite right, but it's close. It looks like a very nice place to spend time too. The Casino .... good to just take a few photos of it. I couldn't afford to visit it I'm sure It's such a nice day as well. The cloud cover is keeping the temperatures under control, but you can still get sunburnt. And I see the Yellow Submarine off to the left. That is something I vowed I would do on this stop. The underseas trip around the area is quite exciting they say. Its a very small harbour, but perfectly formed as they say. Well, its later than I thought. I'm hoping if I stick around I might grab a couple nice sunset shots..... Thanks for viewing. See you soon at the next destination Cheers R Edited August 9, 2021 by renault 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you Pete 1 hour ago, BradB said: Wow - Winner , winner Chicken Dinner Sir Pete . BTW - What is your LOD setting in the Sim ? . Thanks John! I have both terrain and objects set to 3 by editing the UserCfg.opt file. I am also using the LOD Bias setting in the driver as per my little tech note and I have that set at -0.50 My monitor resolution is 2560x1440p and with a locked fps of 30, it is buttery smooth with this setting.

One thing I found in HF2 is that turning the Aerosol down to a value of 1 , seems to improve clarity more than it used to . I make many of my own weather presets, and I've made it a practice just to save them with that value . Of course it's just individual choice and flying at altitude many will like a bit of haze, but to me, its seems that it is a stronger effect now than it used to be.
