New Release D3D9Client Development

[jarmonik]

can we forget the brightness of Orbiter 2016 for a moment
and talk about why the Open version have much sharper ground textures !??

Much sharper ? In which way ? I didn't notice anything unusual while testing it during development. There is a little more contrast added between terrain facing the sun and away from the sun. Or could this be micro texture filter issue, make sure it's "anisotropic" not "point".

Sorry for asking off-topic question. (I have asked the same question twice but didn't get answer) @jarmonik Do you plan to re-upload IMFD and LTMFD? Sorry, The so called "reallife" been keeping me busy and haven't had time to visit the forums. I have managed to upload IMFD 4.2.2 and 5.7 but...

The right one seems unnaturally flat in contrast. On moon the contrast is pretty high. You can get a flatter microtexture (almost like the right one) by setting the "Blend Mode" to "soft light".

In those two pictures I setted the "Blend Mode" to "normal light" both for Orbiter 2016 and OpenOrbiter. Maybe there are some other parameters that make the landscape better in OpenOrbiter.
