* If your GPU supports shaders you should use the [[Atmospheric_light_scattering|ALS renderer]] to see recent scenery features (including overlays). On older systems try ALS with shader quality settings turned down first. ALS can be faster and look better on some older systems than the default (legacy) renderer which supports rendering without shaders. Rembrandt is an old, unmaintained, less physically correct, less perceptually correct renderer that is slower than it should be. Rembrandt is set to not be maintained in the upcoming [[Compositor]] framework when remaining distinguishing features are folded into ALS. | * If your GPU supports shaders you should use the [[Atmospheric_light_scattering|ALS renderer]] to see recent scenery features (including overlays).

* Flightgear usually starts with settings turned off, basic weather, and the non-shader renderer. This is to make sure the sim starts up on all hardware in all combinations of GPU drivers and OS versions. The exception is if there is a settings profile already submitted for your GPU. As of March 2020 only a limited number of profiles have been [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=29122 submitted]. If there is a profile Flightgear will start with some settings turned on, but you likely still need to tweak to your taste, system, and flights. Depending your hardware performance, remember to: change the renderer, use advanced weather with terrain effects & presampling, and turn settings up in ''menu->view->rendering'' including switching buildings to OSM2City. | * Flightgear usually starts with settings turned off, basic weather, and the non-shader renderer.

* The [[Howto:Make_nice_screenshots|'''article on screenshots''']] also covers turning on various settings. There are advanced options in the weather menu under detailed weather. With high enough settings, and with the same use of the environment menu, your views should match the screenshots in the table. | * The [[Howto:Make_nice_screenshots|'''article on screenshots''']] also covers turning on various settings.
