I would like to know if there is any way possible to get rid of the lens flare in game. I'm not talking about the dirty canopy but the actual lens flare you get when looking at something bright be it outside the ship at the engines or in the srv... It's annoying as @#$# lol... As a professional photographer in real life this sort of hollywood fluff is stupid. Yes I know it's my opinion but I would really really like to know if there is any way possible to turn that off...

Thanks and fly safe

In the Options window, under Graphics, and in the Quality window there are a number of choices you can make. There doesn't seem to be a specific "Lens Flare" control, but there is Bloom. Try turning the Bloom down. There is also an FX Quality line that you can adjust. That's all I can find to suggest. Good luck.

Hope you get an answer.
I currently use the mod that removes the "space dust" from the game via a shader.
Wonder if the same type of thing would work for the lens flare.
And I personally wouldn't mind a clean canopy.

Tried your suggestion but instead of turning it down I turned it off.
So far I like it just fine though I have not been everywhere or done everything yet.

Nice to meet a fellow photography professional. Lens Flare, something first starters either try to get or add in post only to soon realise it looks garbage :D.

Yeah, you should see lens flare when using the camera, but not when looking around. It's still not as bad as some other games though.

You can manually disable lens flares separate from the other graphical settings by editing GraphicsConfig.xml in the elite-dangerous-64 directory (or by pasting the relevant section into GraphicsConfigOverride in the game directory in your user profile).

This is what the segment looks like:

Code: 
 <LensFlares>
    <Off>
      <LocalisationName>$QUALITY_OFF;</LocalisationName>
      <Enabled>false</Enabled>
      <QualityIndex>0</QualityIndex>
	  <ImportanceThreshold>2</ImportanceThreshold>
    </Off>
    <Low>
      <LocalisationName>$QUALITY_LOW;</LocalisationName>
      <Enabled>true</Enabled>
      <QualityIndex>0</QualityIndex>  
	  <ImportanceThreshold>2</ImportanceThreshold>	  
	</Low>
    <Medium>
      <LocalisationName>$QUALITY_MEDIUM;</LocalisationName>
      <Enabled>true</Enabled>
      <QualityIndex>1</QualityIndex>
	  <ImportanceThreshold>1</ImportanceThreshold>
	</Medium>
    <High>
      <LocalisationName>$QUALITY_HIGH;</LocalisationName>
      <Enabled>true</Enabled>
      <QualityIndex>2</QualityIndex>
	  <ImportanceThreshold>0</ImportanceThreshold>
    </High>
  </LensFlares>

You can just set all the "Enabled" segments to "false" so no matter what quality setting you use, lensflares are off.

I would also recommend turning down the "GlareWeight" values in the Bloom segment. Half of the defaults keeps some bloom but looks much more natural.

Yeah I hate it when games, not just ED, force a "camera" on you. My eyes in real life don't have "lens flare" effects. When it's raining (eg, in Witcher 3), I don't want water dripping down my eyes like it does on glass.

Thus I am actually OK with the grimy canopy... cuz that's glass :D Will try that big bunch of XML code later for the Lens Flares...

I think you're talking about glare. Lens flare was actually removed when some of us kicked up a stink about it being dumb in the beta. ;)

Yes, it removes all the bright junk on the screen that looks like you haven't cleaned your helmet for the past 10 years and you just let your 4 year old play with it after eating chocolate cake... lol...

I would like to be able to clean the canopy, so it's clean(er) but not completely transparent at all light angles (else it's basically non-existent).
