P3D HF2 Shaders after the sun goes down are still broken

[YaBoi69420]

In P3D V5 HF2, when the sun goes down past the horizon, the entire sim starts to look really bad. The ground and plane is too bright and this has been a problem since the first release of P3D V5. Clueless as to why they haven't fixed it and it's been the main reason why I cannot use this sim.



As you can see, the ground is just too bright and you can't change that, even with Envshade.



This is how the ground looks before the sun goes down and you can see that the ground brightness suits the whole scene.

My experience is way different. After dusk and into night it gets extremely dark. Can barely make out landscape features. What are your lighting settings? Maybe turn down your gamma on your monitor?

I can corfirm this strange behaviour too. Directly after the sun goes behind the horizon it is getting "brighter" (grey brightness) and then darker again. After the sun is completely gone down it is getting darker again.

Sunset is like this: Bright-darker-darker-darker-sun behind horizon out of sight-brighter-brighter-then darker-darker-darker-darkest.

Strange is the short brighter section in this process. But I assume it is due the EA Mode wich is still beta. I find the whole colorusage, light behaviour, sunglow very strange and not optimized in EA (But Beta). Also the cloud colors are strange at sunset and dawn. Strange Greyisch colors, Sky very red, yellow, green etc. This can and should be much approved in the next update to make EA look what it is capable of.

We are now seeing a basig implementation.

@LM: Please make EA look much more realisticer because I think there is much room for improvement! This should be the next goal!
