This mod makes all the difference to me! For all the time I've spent playing on Xbox I've lost count of the times I've complained about how bright everything is, how 'easy' it is with everything highlighted/targeted, the cluttered HUD, the silly comet-NPCs in supercruise and all that white stuff whizzing by (although I guess the snow is there to give an impression of speed and general movement).
I've recently picked Elite up on Steam after building a 4k capable PC, so straight away the game looks miles better than my ancient Xbox One. With this mod everything looks even better. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, not that you need to explain it like you've had to, it's pretty clear from the first post that it's a personal choice...
Just a few things of note that I thought I would mention, for potential future updates to the mod.
- I'm still seeing the HUD side bars when in supercruise ONLY in Analysis Mode. Is this fixable?
- One thing I liked that's gone is the little light-dot representing a station as you got close to it in supercruise. It may have been the original intention but I used that little light to tell whether the station was behind the planet or not. I've tried toggling everything on/off as I approach the station and it made no difference so I guess it's turned off by the main Black Space part of the mod? I guess there's no easy way to turn this station reflection thingy back on?
- Am I able to amend the .ini file to start a session with toggles on or off, how I want them? Currently the game loads with HUD off, lights on and the HDR on (activated, ship cockpit at its darkest). I know it's just a toggle but I'd like to fire up a game with lights off and HDR off.
- Do you have a hash I can add to the .ini file to turn off the haze inside stations? I tried copying from Cmdr AD's txt file but it threw up a shader warning on start up.
I haven't been land-side with this mod yet but if screenshots are anything to go by, I won't be disappointed. I do hope you have time to keep this mod active - you could probably even charge a small amount for it to 'cover your expenses' and I'd bet many would pay, I know I would.

R - amazing mod! Thank you for the time you've put into making it publicly available.
