Wanted to share this for anyone else...
For a year, although tracks, weathers looked pretty decent, after every update of SOL (and/or shader) and resetting sol, I'd have to pull sky, color, clouds sliders way off the map to get it to look pretty ok to my eyes. Then constant variance in brightness, saturation etc on screen, chang pp's, then colors going out the door, then night looking off - an endless, irritating, circling fight.
I changed, defaulted everything feasible (brightness, sat, pp's - everything), also in the nvidia control panel. Never just a simple shader or sol update and say, 'that looks pretty good'. 🤬
Well it was one setting,
one that I thought wasn't a big deal, until I found out what happens when have had colors set to 12bit instead of 8.
-Yeah, it washes the sky out and a hell of a lot more.
Now, after a shader and sol update and reset. Thank *****
So if you were like me going through this crap, maybe this will save your sanity.
