    Graphics or Monitor?

    On the left side, the horizon is in the middle of the monitor. On the right, I'm "looking down", and as a result, the horizon is at the top of the monitor. See how the colors "wash out"? I can barely distinguish between the sky and the clouds. Is this a "feature" of FS2020 that I can turn off, like "bloom" and "motion blur"? If so I haven't found it yet. I don't remember this happening in FSX. Or is this a monitor issue?

    I'm pretty sure this isn't a monitor issue. I'll check on my rig tomorrow (it's late over here) and will revert to ya.

    It’s similar to camera exposure where it’s opens the iris to let more light in when looking into the relatively dark space of the cockpit, so possibly a setting like bloom or just built in to the way MSFS balances the exposure in game.

    So, both monitors on my sim rig are Samsung 4K. Primary is a 32 inch LS32A70. Secondary is a 27 inch U28E590. I tested running the sim from the 2nd monitor and it seemed like the effect was not nearly as bad. I hope this isn't another of Microsoft/Asobo's attempt to introduce more "photographic effects" into the sim. At least you can turn off bloom, depth of field, motion blur, lens flare, etc. I haven't found the "Camera Exposure Makes The View Outside The Window Get Overexposed When The Person Holding The Camera Aims Down At The Instrument Panel" setting. In my case, it isn't bloom. I turned that off. Not a "deal breaker" by any means, just slightly annoying. The fact that different monitors seem to make a difference makes me think there is some setting that could affect this.

    Are your monitors HDR and do you have HDR10 enabled in the sim ?
    That might cause it.
