Dark, dark DCS world-

[chris455]

Hello gentleman,

I've had DCS World installed on my PC for some time, have the P-51 and the F-86. Enjoy them very much. I have however taken a long vacation from the sim to play other sims for awhile. I returned recently to see what was new. Of course, when I launched the game there was a lengthy update.

Now, when I try to use the sim, everything seems to work perfectly- exept for the strange, alien looking sky that now appears at all times:

The sky is DARK- I mean really dark. You would think my mission clock was set to midnight, but this is the case no matter what I set the time of day to. The stars are out- but so is the sun. it is visible at the position one would expect for the set time of day, but it confers no light on the DCS world. I have tried:

Updating video drivers;

Repairing DCS world;

Uninstalling and then re-installing DCS world;

Adjusting HDR and other graphics settings.

DCS is the only sim of many I have that is behaving strangely. Everything was fine the last time I ran the sim circa 6 months ago.

I checked the forums and found some folks complaining of a problem with things being "too dark" and the solution for most seems to deal with HDR settings. But this does not seem to be the problem. I now live in a DCS netherworld where nigt and day are in a strange admixture.

 

I really want to fly my F-86 again over a sunny Caucasus- If anyone has a suggestion to offer, I will be indebted.

 

Respectfully,

Chris
