Would P3Dv3's HDR settings cause the effect

Just a thought.

Unfortunately I have no idea at all as do not have P3D & do not know what 'HDR' means.
Normally if producing for FSX the textures are supposed to be converted to .dds format, whereas the textures with this model are extended.bmp in 888 format. Could that be a clue?

Hi Keith,
'Scuse me hopping in, but again, you've made me curious.
I looked it up and found:

I'm no wiser as to how P3D uses it, as I don't have it either.

Mike, Thank you, from that then I understand that if HDR settings in P3D are used then it can give a washed out render. Will have to wait & see if Kevin sorts it out, or if other P3D users have the same problem.

Of course the burning question is why don't you have P3D, you can get a developers license for 10$US a month and cancel any time you want.
Its what I have.

I'm still plucking up courage to attempt to learn how to make a FSX native model, let alone move up to P3D & all its subsequent paid for updates......my brain ain't what it used to be, & it wasn't that good then!
