Exposure : Compensation - ExposureAgainstTheSun

Postby Nicky Gi. » 08 Apr 2026, 21:53

Why aren’t these in Hidden Settings by default and we have to create them ourselves? I think many people would really benefit from reducing Compensation from 0.25 to 0.20, just like me, but the setting isn’t there so they do not even know it exists. Same with ExposureAgainstTheSun. I truly benefited from increasing it to 1.0 from 0.9.

Yeah, I saw you mention ExposureAgainstTheSun somewhere before and it was really helpful. I increased it to 1.1 on my screen and it looks a lot better now.

I agree it would be much better if it were a more accessible option. Up until now, I was always using: Settings > Camera > Force Sun in the Back. It’s less realistic, but at least I could see the ball :mrgreen:

When the setting isn't in the Tennis.ini, I can change it easily for everybody ; otherwise, it's still possible, but more cumbersome.

Nicky Gi., would you agree that 1.1 is better than 1.0 ? I just gave it a try and it seemed good. The initial value was 1.3 before I went down to 0.9 and I forgot why I changed that, I'm afraid it might be dependant on the stadium and its exact lighting conditions... :fear:

It’s mostly personal preference I think. 1.1 is brighter and makes the ball easier to track, but it also washes out the court a bit. I prefer 1.0 overall, though the best choice also depends on the monitor. 0.9 must be changed to either 1.0 or 1.1 though.

Yeah, 1.1 may look better after all. Change it to 1.1 in the next patch. (I tested it with compensation at 0.2 though and not 0.25)

For the next update, I just changed it to 1.1 for the next update and added an option to tune it : Settings -> Camera -> Exposure when Facing the Sun ; it's a new setting saved in [Camera] AgainstExposure (ie: in addition to [Exposure] ExposureAgainstTheSun ).

Wow, that’s awesome! What an amazing addition!

Do you think you could add one for compensation as well? Something like this: Low (0.20), Medium or Default (0.25), High (0.30).

In the game, the numbers won’t be displayed, only Low, Medium, and High. Or you think it is not necessary?

It's not required, there's the Exposure setting for that, it does more or less the same thing.

Okay, but compensation affects only daytime and Exposure affects both day and night so it is not technically the same.
