    Photorealistic Feel: Maintains a natural and immersive visual style across the whole sim.

    Easy Installation (please read before you ask):

    Download Reshade from reshade.me.
    Run the installer and select Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (.exe file in the sim’s directory).
    Choose DirectX 10/11/12 when prompted.
    Select all shaders (required) and complete the installation.
    Place the Sealed Sky Preset file into the same folder as the simulator’s .exe.
    Launch the simulator, press Home to open Reshade, and complete the tutorial (if it appears).
    In the Reshade menu, click the preset dropdown at the top, select Sealed Sky.ini, and apply it. 

    Note: Makes sure you are using Nvidia output color depth to 10 bit if your monitor can handle it and use dynamic range full in your Nvidia control panel! A quick video tutorial for this setting is here -> https://youtu.be/uT6eLArGZ4E?si=VlT8nVxuAtk0NgJI

    My Specs: RTX4090/ AMD R9 7900X3D / 64GB DDR5 -> therefore im using Max Settings

    Hey there, looks like you have to download the files and add them to the source yourself.
    https://github.com/mj-ehsan/NiceGuy-Shaders/blob/main/Shaders/SlowSharp.fx
    https://github.com/BarbatosAWLS/BBFX_OLD-Shaders/blob/main/Shaders/ColorGrading.fx
    from Google Gemeni
    Place the files: Move both downloaded .fx files directly into your game or simulator's reshade-shaders/Shaders folder (usually located where your main game .exe or bin folder is).

    I have a slight issue. When applying the reshade, it says I am missing effects. I took the default one offered.

    Reinstall ReShade and make sure you check ALL of the effects to download when you install it. This way, Sealed Sky has all of the effects it needs. Also, turn off HDR in Windows and in the game settings. Run you monitor in RGB or Wide Gamut, and make sure windows Automatic Color Management (ACM) is turned on if your monitor is running in Wide Gamut color mode.

    You don't need to check ALL the effects when installing Reshade. At the bottom of the page there is a box where you can select the preset that you just downloaded. It will then download only what it needs from the file, nothing more. This is the correct way to do it 👍

    First time using any re-shade, and gotta say, i don't think it will get much better than this, well done, good job and thanks for the easy explanation on how to do this - i was able to follow it through as a first timer with no drama.

    Perfect preset. Many thanks for it. I tried to achieve something like that myself, but I didn't even come close to this quality!

    This is the best and most accurate as well as the sharpest, without oversharpening. Better than what took me weeks of tuning to make my own preset, this is still way better. The vibrance and saturation of the greens and blue in the sky and on the ground are so perfect I can't even try to match on my own. What's nice is you can still use AMD FidelityFX Sharpening in-game settings because SealedSky doesn't use CAS effect to sharpen, it relies on several other effects such as LumaSharpen, etc. The sky remains naturally blue w/out being to vibrant or saturated, clouds remain naturally white and saturated in the sun without being overexposed or clipped. The clouds have no unnatural or odd-looking vibrant blue, yellowish warm hue, or weird contrast/tint issue which makes everything brighter/illuminated. Everything looks great in all scenarios, which is hard to imagine, and this reshade is a SET AND FORGET for every single situation. Whoever made this either used professional-grade algorithms, knows Asobo code and coloring/lighting inside out, or was a pro photographer who understood every parameter of each setting. However, I did have to UNCHECK the first effect checkbox 'B840_Color_Correction.fx' (or something like that) because it made the entire scene a greenish weird tint. I'm honestly not sure why this box is even checked by default because everything is zero in it except for a few colors which is what makes it look off. But after unchecking that one first box, there was no reason to adjust anything at all, it perfectly matched my monitor 100% The only addition I made to ABSOLUTELY PERFECT the image was to add and apply GAUSSIAN.fx. and man, did it make it look even better and more realistic! It really tightened up any oversharpening or distant artifacts/shimmering while making the bloom more lifelike. I highly, highly recommend trying the 'GAUSSIAN.fx' checkbox with this. In HDR @ 4K DLAA I think this should be in there by default and the one I unchecked taken out. I may even upload the same setting I use now (SEALED SKY [-minus-] B840_Color_Correction.fx [+plus+] GAUSSIAN.fx) for the absolute perfect set and forget reshade.
