HDR looks fine to me, I asked what was wrong with it when the complaint was posted but no response. 

I have both Windows 11 HDR on because I have an HDR monitor and the in-game HDR which is a different feature but both are working fine... other than the sunset/sunrise may be a bit too big on the horizon.

4080Super with latest drivers. Ultra settings, grass set to distant everything else maxed, FSR as that is the best performing and looking.

HDR on my screen taken from my mobile so its actually what I see, looks good to me:

You find that FSR looks better than DLSS? I have a 5080 at 4K Res and I'm using the 4.5 model of DLSS (forced through the Nvidia App), set to quality.

FSR AA, sorry. DLAA would be the nVidia version which is a bit more of a hit. There are some edge cases where it's better visually but the performance hit isn't worth it to me. 

DLSS I tried just to see how it looks and can see artifacts but also don't really need to use it as the performance is decent enough with FSR AA.

Running 3440x1440, if 4k was in play for me then probably would need DLSS. 

I also updated the nvngx_dlss.dll in the Korea folder to 310.7.0 just to be sure its the latest.

A nice summary of the previous 83 dev blogs 😅

 

But honestly my congratulations for all these improvements you reached 👍🏻

 

What’s still missing is a significant improvement in VR performance to make future content compelling. In its current state, I find the limitations too frustrating.

I posted a mobile picture as they also posted a mobile picture. 

But the washed out effect was fixed a patch or two ago. 

Screenshot just taken:

No it's not fixed.

Here are the same screenshot from the game, and from Bandicam of the last game version .

 

About the HDR, did you run the éditor ?

We can't have the GUI map if we use the HDR.

I hoped that these problems were fixed with the release, but they are still there.

I don't have these problems in Great Battle.

And please, when we play a multiplayer mission in dogfight mode, give us the option to delete the score at the top of the screen.

Development Blog 84.

I have been playing this flight sim for many years now, starting with Oleg Maddox IL-2 Sturmovik. What I really liked about the first sims that Oleg produced was their reality of actually flying an aircraft (the original aircraft were very well produced with all their idiosyncrasies), this wasn't an 'Arcade game' it was trying to simulate the real thing. As the game developed, the sim just got better and better, until today you have the best flight sim on the market, if you like flying and aviation history.

A big thank you to Han, Victor, Roman and all the rest of the current IL-2 Team for producing 'Korea' and showing in "Development Blog 84" the highlights what has happened in the development of this simulator over the years. Today I posted another single mission 'DF_Mig-15_enter_Combat' - try it out and get the feel of the flight sim. I was particularly interested in hearing Anton Pavlov taking about flying the Mig-15 (liked his barrel-roll). Luckily I have seen Mig-15's actually flying along with Sabre jets at local air shows. These jets were the foundation of the jet aircraft we have today, including our airliners and this why, as Han mentioned, this is such an important flight sim.

Last night I watched the film 'The Bridges at Toko-Ri' starring William Holden, Grace Kelly, Frederic March, and Mickey Rooney as the helicopter pilot. When I finished watching Development Blog 84 today their was the bows of a large aircraft carrier surging through the waters. I can see the Panther jets taking-off now!

Looking forward to all the new develops to happen, with this ground breaking flight simulator.

Go back to when the game first launched and you will see the details you seek. In short, the gunsight disappears when backed by clouds which are way too bright. Also, when launching any other game with HDR I always get a "Auto HDR is on" notice but not with Korea.

Well, its working for me. I showed the before and after screenshots. 

And I just took these in-game:

Well I'm not going to go hunting for them. I have none of those issues.

Auto HDR is for games that are SDR to be made into HDR. Not HDR native games.

There is also RTX HDR from Nvidia (alternative for Windows Auto HDR), it's working with GB just fine, not yet in Korea.

[FuriousMeow]

So I thought Korea supported native HDR. Not the in-game HDR checkmark, that's just a filter like in GB. 

GB needed either AutoHDR or RTX HDR to either simulate HDR software/filter (AutoHDR) or AI/more advanced filter (RTX HDR).

I've set Auto HDR, RTX HDR and the Video HDR on and none of have any difference in screenshots since a patch or two ago when they looked like this:
