Improved Lighting for PURE (no LCS) 13.1

• fixed low contrast for daytime by reducing gamma and increasing exposure. The contrast setting has not changed.
• reduced brightness of the clouds in overcast weather to standard values. Now the reflections will not be excessively bright and in general the lighting has become better
• a few more minor changes

Reduced bloom effects for all filters, but now you can quickly adjust this effect yourself in the pure settings window.
Added two new sliders for adjusting the strength and threshold of the glare effect.
If you want to increase or decrease the bloom effect without reducing the strength of Glare use "Glare Threshold" slider, but this effect will only be noticeable if parameter "Glare & Bloom Luminance" is set to high values.

• fixed too dim car displays in the daytime. Unfortunately it also increases the brightness of the brake lights and led lights. Checked on kunos car, led lights brightness are normal, but some car mods may have led lights that are too bright. This can be fixed in pure configs by decreasing the csp_lights.emissive parameter.
• a few more minor fixes for ILP_natural and ILP_linear

• for ILP and ILP_natural, slightly increased contrast, but without losing midtones, by reducing gamma and increasing exposure
• for ILP_linear in daylight, slightly reduced contrast by increasing the gamma so that the shadows are not too dark.
• for ILP_linear at dusk increased brightness of clouds, reduced gamma and increased exposure. Twilight looks much better now
• for ILP_linear increased exposure in overcast weather
• decreased the sun.speculars parameter for all filters to remove excessive glare on some surfaces

ILP_linear 4.56

ILP_linear 4.53

slightly reduced glare and bloom effect, the changes will be better visible at night

New DOF (depth of field) settings for camera replays. Replays look much better with them.
This is the last thing I wanted to change.

By the way, I took the DOF settings from the "SKY GT" filter
great filter incidentally, I recommend to try

Comparing with other filters, I realized that I have damn dark shadows and I need to do something with these.
I had to increase the gamma, and tinker with setting other parameters so that the image is not flat and overexposed. But now I am completely satisfied with the result.

• reduced bloom effect in the daytime
• for the ILP_natural filter the colors are slightly muted
• some more minor fixes

I'm done, now for sure

Decided to return to default values for ambient light. An attempt to solve the problem of too dark shadows by increasing the brightness of the ambient light was unsuccessful. It's Impossible to find the optimal value for every weather.
With the default values for ambient light, any weather and time of day now looks good

Until the release of the new version of Pure, I will not release more updates, I'm fed up.

checked every 10 minutes from night to sunrise, now there should be no overexposure

now it won't be too dark at dusk

• night lighting reworked
• fixed too dark shadows in overcast weather
• fixed godrays leaking when the sun is close to the horizon
• slightly reduced exposure at dusk
• slightly reduced bloom effect during daytime for "ILP_natural"

• many minor improvements and fixes
• added "ILP_natural" filter, it has softer and warmer image

final brightness calibration for dusk and dawn

fixed excessive exposure at night, at dusk and dawn

1. many improvements for all types of weather and all time of day
2. instead of two filters, for HDR and non-HDR, left one. It should look equally good on any monitor.

Before installing, uninstall the previous version to remove the old HDR filter

A few more changes to make the image brighter during the day.
I hope this will be enough

now it will not be so dark on the track and in the cockpit during the day
