We’re pleased to share with you our new tone mapping system which is being implemented in update 1.91 “Night Vision” making the game appear softer and slightly less saturated.
Dear friends,
War Thunder update 1.91 “Night Vision” is almost upon us, and today, we’d like to talk a little about some of the visual features that will be waiting for you when the update lands.
At the moment, we’re working on HDR monitor support (monitors capable of showing a high dynamic range of the visuals), and as part of this preparation, we are going to introduce a new tone mapping system in update 1.91. The updated tone mapping will make the game appear a little softer and more “cinematic”, as all colour conversions are to be completed in the HDR range. The game will support changes to the temperatures of colour (warm, cool, etc), depending on the time of day and weather. In addition, the new tone mapping system works slightly faster than the previous one.
Check out a few screenshots taken with the new tone mapping system. The beauty you see will be on your own monitor very soon, so stay tuned!

Looks warmer and less hard to eye. it also looks lots better and more realistic
nah, in high latitude everything is in colder light. less Russian, more Amerikan
Indeed. A much more visually appealing and photo realistic look :)
Smin1080p, Will you be able to change the temperature in the CDK editor as well?
This looks great
Agreed. Such a baller update.
REMOVE ULQ OPTION
TBH if you complain about UILQ players having an advantage over you, i say quit playing. You are obviously not good enough to spot enemy tanks. I myself use highest possible settings but i do turn grass all the way down and tree render aswell. I dotn have any problems spotting enemy tanks. THere was a time when i was an ULQ player. I can relate to them. Over the time i spared some money, got a job and bought myself brand new PC. I wouldnt use ULQ ever again. The 2 of you guys are so selfish!!!
All answers (3)i_love_music, Oh my, there so many things I'd like to buy or to do, but I don't have enough money for that. Maybe I could go and say "Hey, I want this but I only have this much. Let's give it to me for a price I can afford to pay. I have the right to have it, I WANT it!!!" That's not how it works, lads. You want something? Sure, it will cost you that much. Take it or leave it. You don't have enough $$$ ? Well, come back when you do. It's that simple. Games are meant to be fair for everyone. ULQ is NOT fair...
At least make ULQ players play only ULQ players. If they have to wait longer for MM so be it. Theres no reason why the rest of us have to play like Sandra Bullock in Birdbox while they are playing like Homelander in The Boys. Very simple piece of gate keeper code. If you have ULQ settings you go in this line and if you don't you go in this line. Problem solved. Made a video about this too.
All answers (11)WARNERwinsGAMING, Having your own MM?? That wouldn't work. Perhaps limit the rank you can play in ULQ.
neato, will this have any affect on ulq? As long as it doesn't turn my potato pc in to a stove-top, any QOL update is welcome.
Positive, if any. "In addition, the new tone mapping system works slightly faster than the previous one"
All answers (3)Stona_WT, please get rid of ULQ... gives an unfair advantage
u play ulq ???? plz here: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/
All answers (18)Fuhrerius_HANZzZ, Have you considered that not everyone has a good PC or the budget to make one? Because the devs definitely have.
I see litterally 0 difference except a bit more contrast and a yellow filter
Because thats what it is XD. Same graphics same blinding sun just a yellow filter...this just bring me back when Btf 3 added the blue filter but this is just lamme.
LU1S, Tonemapping isn't adding a yellow filter or anything. It's how color will change in any circumstance.
Nice changes overall. Will this help cure the nuclear sun?
Sadly...no
Why should it be cured? In RL sun is blinding at times, you know? Adds abit more challenge and tactical depth (no, don't charge into the sun, duh.) to the game.
Nais
