The only way I can see ANYTHING in that circled area is by cranking my gamma way up. Is yours adjusted correctly ?

Would it not be better to save it as a high-rez bitmap? Huge file size, but we are talking about subtle shades of dark grey. In daylight you likely would not notice them. It looks like an over-processed image or YouTube video.
I have not noticed it today (daylight still), but remember noticing it last night. It may have been a passing thing as I either ignored it after that or it went away.

Look how clean the blend is, same rig same settings

Asteroids still look pants up close in med/high/ultra material quality though.
dude, that's wear and tear to your canopy.
Here a fresh shot, look in centre and left 'clouds'

Er, which ones? All i see there is black and a pair of nebulae on the right.
ah I see.
Yeah its space dust init.
looks ok to me
did you check your gamma levels and monitor settings? If to high it will cause the issue you're describing

That only effects the galactic core afaik. Where it used to kill FPS (badly).
Those black splodges you see in the distance are dust clouds and nebula, you can reach them.

Hi Matt, I think I've got to the bottom of it... the 'close up' dust layer seems to be fixed in place, like it's attached to the skybox. I think it would work if it were particle based, but as it is fixed in one place, no matter how fast/slow or what direction you go it's stuck, therefore actually does the opposite of the intended effect?
Could I be so bold as to ask for a on off option in a future build?
Most humble

So I've jumped into my super Cobra and had a look in that system, it looks like right in that view there's a patch of darker dust. It's part of the background so it doesn't move, if your running a high gamma or contrast this will be more obvious to you. The way we create this may change at some point as it's not as good as we want it to be but better than without it. Turning off the dust means space looks too clean. So basically yes there's something there, yes its not perfect, yes it's on our to do list for the future. I'm afraid there's not a lot I can do about it right now though as long as your in top graphics mode it'll look as good as it can right now, at some point we'll hopefully make it even better especially for larger monitors!

Not right now but it's something we're aware of! Generating even higher res backgrounds is a pain as it would effectively sit you in hyperspace for longer (where we build the incoming system), every doubling of resolution quadruples the pixel count (Which is why whenever everyone claims a new card/console is 5 times better etc then it never really is as everyone immediately doubles the resolution on everything which eats 4 our of your 5 multipliers!)
If you go exploring North of the galactic plane you'll see much more of the Galaxy, some 900ly up it looks quite awesome.
I tried fiddling around with the resolution in the appconfig file, gave me crashes but the background sure looked nicer with 4096 texture resolution
Changed it back though probably not enough video ram.I tried fiddling around with the resolution in the appconfig file, gave me crashes but the background sure looked nicer with 4096 texture resolution
I tried that in beta 2 or gamma 1, wasn't sure if it had to be in multiples of 256 or not though.
Hi Matt, is there any plan to make planets go from "white dots" to actual objects from a larger distance? most planets don't pop up until i'm at at 2 LS from them. I know its easier to spot them that way in supercruise where they are far away, but the planet model should be popping up way before im right next to them.
