How to set up HDR in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

  • Open the game’s own HDR calibration (Settings → Display/Video) — it overrides the system calibration, so set it per the on-screen patterns.
  • Real-sky HDR — set brightness to your panel peak and fly toward the sun to check highlight clipping.
  • Huge full-screen brightness swings; on OLED keep paper white moderate to avoid ABL dimming bright daytime skies.
