Washed out graphics

[Micky Bobby]

Hello - I am loving this SimRail and have only just started playing it so perhaps it's a time of day issue as I've only played the tutorial, but I can't help noticing the graphics appear somewhat washed out. I have tinkered with the settings and can't seem to get the clarity I would expect. I use a RTX3070. Does the game need the every latest graphics card driver? 

Thank you,

Sean

without a screen shot, we would all be guessing. 

i use a gaming laptop with a RTX3070Ti gpu, and the graphics are pretty stunning to me.

time of the day dependent (6~7 PM happends to be a little washed out)

Also the camera-like "eye" adaptation feature may have something to do with it, especially when you're in the cab 😉

especially when changing camera angle this is some kind of overkill

I had the same problems with Anti-Aliasing on "TAA". I solved the problem, as i changed the Upscaling from "no" to "Nvidia DLSS" on "Ultra quality".

i'm really not a fan of these 'camera lens effects' 

Like having the sun ahead of you and you get that lens flare effect that is from the light bouncing back and forth between the multiple pieces of glass that make up the lens,  or the star burst thing, or the way everything goes black and white then really bright before settling down to the normal image when you exit a tunnel....

Those are all things that you see when viewing the image from a camera,  but in a train driving simulator we are supposed to be driving the train as a person with Mk1 eyeballs, which do not have these issues (ok some have the star burst thing at night) 

 

On some other train driving 'games' you can turn these effects off in the .ini files, not sure if this is possible in SimRail?

Pretty much nailed it there. It'd be great to have the camera effects be adjustable or optional. But that's a very valid point that in first-person simulators we'd also want to see things like we would if we were actually there. That's kind of a simulation of its own. Could add being blinded by the sun, and then to fix it, simply roll down the blinds or put on sunglasses. Other sims have done this when I think about it.

This really helped - thank you!
