This driver is a brand new branch and there's a weird note in the release notes about how different layers of auto-HDR interact. I wonder if it's spotting images and doing the right thing and doing the wrong default thing with text. What happens if you fiddle with the "make SDR stuffs appear this bright" slider in Windows?
... I presume Radeon gpu's aren't causing any problems at the moment in this respect?...I haven't noticed anything untoward with my Radeon card, but I've got a computer with an Nvidia gpu that's got Elite installed on it, though I haven't upgraded the drivers on that one at the moment...perhaps I should put that on hold for now. My main screen only does 60hz. Still, it does OK with Elite.60 is fine for me. My ancient monitor can do up to 75, but with everything on the top settings/Ultra, even my NVidia GEForce RTX 4090 struggles a bit over 60.
I'm still doing ground missions. Picked up another "wanted" tag on my last one. It was a power-on and there were some unsavoury characters waiting for me. Thing was, not all were hostile(again) so I had to be selective with my pew-pew. At one stage, the goody was fighting the baddy. I let rip with my AR-50 and manged to clip the good guy. He dispatched the bad guy then opened fire on me.
I had to put him down. And became a murderer in the process.
Adds a more delicate nuance to these missions - you just can't * slay willy-nilly.
* Well, you can. But I prefer to stay clean. Because I'm a good guy
I've had fun at one of those 3-container "Smuggler's hidden cache" places, where a single scavenger (smuggler?) and a single policeman showed up and started hunting each other around the containers.

It seems my ancient 2018 DELL monitor doesn't have HDR related settings but I actually think it may be the Dark Reader extension in Firefox which might be the problem. If I block it on already dark sites like here or the Elite wiki I get the vibrant colours back. Maybe it just needs an update. It'll do for now but I feel like I need to wear shades or something. The text is a lot brighter than I remember.
The kids say frames win games but I don't think I've had a monitor that goes above 60Hz so I wouldn't know.
Beware the favours of princesses! It never ends well.
...still we'll have to see. Off in the middle of god knows where on some far-flung snowball scraping bacteria off of ice sheets for the favour of my princess
.....I sometimes think along those lines when I'm out exploring, but I'm not 'attached' to any of those factions though as I've not participated in power play (I presume that's what you mean).It looks quite ominous. Obviously a large ship in my opinion. I wouldn't mind a dedicated mining vessel so I don't have to refitt the T8.Hi All
I'm going to do a small amount of hauling for the current CG....by the way, I see there's a sneak peek at the forthcoming new ship, most people think it's going to be a mining orientated ship. If it doesn't have some unique features specifically for mining I can't see it (excuse the pun) taking off.
before I look for an other space game.What does this mean?I'm going to do a small amount of hauling for the current CG....
...I'm using a system that's 13.78Lys from Minerva, the surrounding systems are pretty much full of Carriers and it's taken a bit of searching to get (not surprisingly) a parking space with only 20.76Ly's jump range on the Stellar (with 1040 cargo capacity)....45.62Lys jump range on my other Panther but with a 928 cargo capacity.You can't - FD doesn't have your limits. So, unless FD is going to change engineering/broker availablity, those are going to remain unique for the foreseeable future.
Carrier jump should be done now, and if everything went well, should be parked in Piscium Sector QI-T b3-5, 12.63 ly from Minerva. I'm using a T-9 that has around 20 ly loaded.
