I just went through all the code and honestly can't tell why that's happening. Have you changed your sol values from defaults? I agree with you that the instrument panel appears too dim, but I can't tell you why that might be. If you like my work, I would suggest taking a look at C13 Camera Obscura, which is a better looking filter in my opinion, and will also receive a pure update, whereas Alpha Plus will not. That said, i assume you enjoy the punchy colours of Alpha Plus, and CO is a bit less saturated overall.
As you're the only person to have ever reported this, I think it's worth investigating. I would kindly ask you for as much detail about your AC setup as possible. So that would be CSP version(s) and Sol version(s) that you have tried and where these issues present themselves. I would also be interested in which Sol quality preset you use, and if you're using a CSP preset for ExtraFX or LightingFX
Of course.
The mclaren seems readable, and the other two are just as dim for me with A3PP, Sol_Extra, Camera Obscura or Alpha Plus. What filters did you use before that it was fine with, also may I suggest simply turning on the lights?
Ah okay. So that`s how it's supposed to look like. I thought it was something with me. Yes, I have considered just turning on the lights, but for some petty reasons and in some cases, comprehension (as some analog panels are much less readable lit then unlit) I don't turn on the lights. The ones that look really good to me, imo, are _Sol_HDR and SNW Real
Yeah, a major issue is that most AC cars have no instrument backlight unless the headlights are on. Which is not how things work in the real world. So with filters that attempt to recreate a realistic dynamic range, instrument clusters will often appear too dark in those cars (which is actually appropriately dark since they are not illuminated). Alpha Plus is especially egregious in this area, Camera Obscura is somewhat less problematic. A 2.0 update of CO is in the works which will improve daytime legibility, ETA: as soon as Pure WFX is 1.0.
Well, I found a workaround for the moment. One of the biggest reasons for me not just simply turning on the lights is because it would also turn on the headlights. It's petty I know, but my OCD doesn't agree with that xD. So, I found a way to make an extension that will light up only the relevant panel lights when one of the extra, patch keys from Content Manager is pressed. Sadly, it isn't a one-size-fits-all solution because all cars have different panel configurations, so you need to make a ext_config.ini for each car. But hey! At least is a nice workaround and I can finally use your filter.
