    Graphic problem during night flights

    Hi everyone, I have this problem with night texetures since I installed the blitz edition. Never had any problem with the previous versions of the mod. During daylight seems normal
    (Sorry I had to take the photos with my iphone, cannot take any screenshot)
    Really cannot understand why, I’m worried I’ll have the same problem with the tobruk expansion

    Three thoughts.
    Have you turned the epilepsy filter off?
    Have you turned the cockpit light off?
    Last one, empty the shader cache then start the game.

    Unfourtunately Pita, I had the same problem and I know the reason. What GPU (Graphics card) do you have in your PC?
    If it is integrated you are going to have to upgrade.
    AMD has some reasonably priced ones being of decent performance but lower pricing.

    I FINALLY picked up an RX570 for around $230 AUD and she works a DREAM for Cliffs.

    Re: Graphic problem during night flights

    To give it its best shot, make sure that integrated graphics are disabled.
    If the problem persists then you will need to upgrade GPU.
    This problem I had with intel HD530, so maybe the nvidia driver will handle it. However just bear in mind that the 840m is an entry level card. Cliffs isn't insanely demanding, but it does call for slightly higher ended (current mid range card) support for higher graphics settings.

    For this particular bug though I reckon it would be worth a shot just making sure integrated graphics are off.

    I disabled the integrated graphics card and it worked actually, at least a temporary solution before getting a new GPU, thank yuo very much for help

    Hi,

    I have a very similar problem but with a GTX1080ti. I have reset the shaders folder.

    Nvidia Driver 445.xx

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks

    No worries Pita!

    I am not too sure on that one Marcost. It should be something strait forward I would think. Short of making sure that you don't have an integrated GPU active, some of the others might have an idea.

    Pita, you may experiment with the "Output Color Format" setting. (NVIDIA Control Panel/Display/Change Resolution) menu. After setting your monitor/TV native resolution, try different dropdown options (Use NVIDIA color settings/Output Color Format). My system likes YCbCr444 for best picture, but others use the RGB option as well. Either of these will also greatly reduce "Rings" around the sun when looking at the sky.

    All of these settings can be played with to optimize your picture.

    Isn't NVIDIA 840M a laptop card? I can't imagine CLoD on a laptop, but things have improved a lot in the past few years. Good luck!

    Hi,

    Thanks, it was the OP that had a laptop. I have a desktop with a 1080ti. Have tried monitor colour settings and gamma etc. Here is the same mission at 19.00hrs, 20.00hrs and at 21.00hrs:

    The whole cockpit becomes desaturated at dusk.

    Regards,

    M
