RealFlight G3 Manual - Great Planes Software Support

SHADOWS QUALITY-
This setting specifies the quality of the shadows in the simulation. RealFlight G3
attempts to automatically optimize the settings for your PC. However, it may be
necessary for you to perform some manual fine-tuning in order to obtain the best
possible performance.
To modify the quality of the shadows, click on the value indicated in the column to
the right of the Shadows name. Select the desired level for your simulation from the
pull-down list. The Highest setting will render the best shadows, but it requires
significant processing power. If your framerate is low, we suggest you reduce the
shadow quality.
PARTICLES-
This setting adjusts the quality of the smoke during the simulation. If the framerate
drops when the smoke is thick, try lowering the quality of the smoke until you
achieve an acceptable frame rate.
To do so, click on the existing particle quality. Next, from the pull-down menu,
select the desired quality level.
TEXTURES-
Use this setting to add the realistic textures to the items and various other objects
found in the simulation.
To do so, click on the existing texture quality level. Next, from the pull-down menu,
select the desired quality option.
Note that you must restart the simulation for the new setting to take effect.
MISC GRAPHICS-
This setting adjusts the quality level of miscellaneous items in your simulation.
To alter the Miscellaneous Graphics level, click on the value located to the right of
the Misc. Graphics name. Next, select the desired level to utilize for the graphics.
Note that you must restart the simulation for the new setting to take effect.
BRIGHTNESS (%)-
This setting adjusts the brightness of the ambient lighting found in the simulation. If
dark colors appear to be overly dark, increase the brightness percentage.
To adjust the brightness percentage, click on the current brightness percentage.
Enter the desired value directly from the keyboard or use the mouse wheel.
CONTRAST (%)-
The Contrast Percentage brightens the lighter colored items in the simulation. It
does not affect the darker items in the simulation.
To adjust the contrast percentage, click on the contrast percentage. Enter the desired
value directly from the keyboard or use the mouse wheel.
