    Default FSX lightbloom, a struggle

    Lightbloom is a great option, but I think it's hard to find the right balance between an atmospheric pic and a more or less realistic one. Here are some try-outs in Alaska, I hope you like them:



















    I FSX I have to use another panel, the gauges of the original FS9 Beech are not accepted, this is the DH Dove panel:


    This is the last pic, Bianca "arrested" me for dinner, and I forgot to save the flight.
    Thanks for looking, and feel free to post your lightbloom pics in this thread, I want to learn how to make it more perfect. GREETS!!

    I like it, great effect, all pix are nice, but #10 is the best, almost feel how annoying direct sunlight can be

    Super Shots. What a great looking plane. I use light bloom and it has a nice effect. Technically If you are using a camera the light bloom effect is accurate. The little octagon you see is the aperture of the lens and you may also see circles of confusion from the lens. If i remember correctly. Now if your standing next to your plane looking through your eyes You wouldn't see a light bloom. Unless you have aperture settings on your eyes. Either way your pictures look Stunning.

    Awesome once again my Dutch friend. I always find it's best to get arrested for dinner, I hope it was worth it.

    It is a nice effect, but like you say maybe not at all times.

    Keep it up my friend!!
