HDR for Rail Simulator!!!

General discussion about Rail Simulator that doesn't really fit in to any specific category. A good place to start if you're not sure what category it should fit in to as well.

Is it easy to edit the actual DLL code? You said there was the config text file but if we wanted that little bit extra control?

I'm not sure how your card would cope as it's integrated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynam ... pport_HDRR

Is your card the 6150? I think that's what's with the 630 chipset, if so then it would. The thing about HDR is it can make scenes look unreal, more about that on the Wikipedia page. Even so for the most part this would be a very welcome addition.

Yeah, after some more reading I feel that HDR isn't that much of an extra burden on the GPU so shouldn't be much of a problem.
