This is a Reshade Preset I have created to try and give the sim a more realstic look.
One of the biggest problems for me is the sim being too warm and thus clouds being orange/brown instead of white. I have tried to reduce this effect. In addition sometimes the greens in ground textures are very bright as well, especially in non-PG areas, so I have tried to tone this down somewhat.
I have not added any sharpening, as I find this is very monitor/resolution dependent.
The contents required for the reshade-shaders folder are included. Of particular importance is the LUT file named 69a in the Textures Sub-Folder which should be placed in the Textures Sub-Folder where Reshade is installed.
There are two versions included, one with a Cinematic Depth of Field shader, to give a slight blur to the distance, and one without. I highly recommend using the DOF if you know how to set up the depth buffer and edit the global preporcessor definitions correctly.
Also included are my custom APRC sky colours files. I would highly recommend using these as they work in tandem with the reshade. If you need help installing these please do leave a comment.
You will also find a photo in the images at the top of this page, showing all the shaders that are used. If you have all of these showing in your Reshade then it will be installed correctly. Bear in mind, however, that the version with no Cinematic DOF will not have this shader, so if you use this version you will have one fewer shader.
I have intentionally not provided instructions for installing Resahde in MSFS as there are numerous guides already out there, however, if anyone has any problems, leave a comment and I will reply with assistance.
You can always reach out to me on discord @number289dp for any further assistance.
