Big lights brightness difference between low and high res regions when using QuadViews

[PawlaczGMD]

There is a pretty huge brightness difference of light effects between low and high res regions when using QuadViews. Low resolution- bright lights. High resolution- dim lights.

This creates a very notable boundary between the regions, which is otherwise not noticeable. It ruins visuals at night.

Additionally, this applies to tracer fire very strongly, so in high res, I basically cannot see tracers (including my own), but if I lower the resolution, they become easily visible.

My guess is that this is an issue with how DCS renders lights, and not QV directly.

To test, just spawn above a city with many lights at night, like Abu Dhabi, etc. and see how lighting changes between the foveated region.

Aaah - is this why I can see a bunch of other stars in my peripheral with Quadviews that I can't see in the centre while flying at night. 

I mean, I know in reality peripheral see's lower light more than the center of the eyes naturally - but VR did seem to pop a heck of a lot more than reality.

Yes, see thtis as well.  Lowering resolution in perihperal render area has a blooming effect. on lights.  I not sure this a bug, just that when you lower resolution to very low values, this is what happens.

I'm not convinced that's all that it is. I also see a big difference in tracer brightness in the central foveated area between 0.75 PD, 1.0 PD, and 1.25 PD. These are all high resolutions that shouldn't suffer from such effects. I think the brightness of these effects might just be too low at high res.

Edit: This is for Pimax Crystal, so high res device.

Are “Bloom effect” in the VR settings and “Lens effect” in the System settings enabled or disabled?
