Improved Fog & Atmosphere
Pure has an accurate yet basic implementation of the fog. Its simplicity makes it so the atmosphere feels lifeless, as if there's no air to breath. It is a problem since Pure's inception, which is also a reason why SOL can easily look superior to Pure! If Pure's fog is accurate and still look off, that must mean something is missing...
In D C 0.5, I added that missing piece of the puzzle: I added some extra oomph and depth to the fog to make a good difference. Let me tell you, the results are magnificent:
Pure above; S K Y below
Crazy what a good amount of fog can affect the visuals! 3D trees feel so freaking real now, like wow it's breathtaking. Never felt this way since I discovered Santa Monica back in summer 2022... It is the second time Assetto Corsa manages to make me speechless.
Now imagine when Pure finally get its new fog system? It's going to be insane.
Most Realistic Shadows
S K Y D C now simulates much proper shadows: all shadows now react to light accurately, getting the proper coloration when exposed to light sources. This seems like small detail no one will notice, but it actually makes a huge difference. It is one of those details that can easily make the entirety of the visuals feel real or fake. No in between. It's a detail missing even in some of the best looking triple-A racing games today
Now that the new shadows behave correctly, technically speaking, that feature alone makes S K Y D C to have the most accurate lighting compared to any ppfilters out there, and will continue to do so.
Alright that's it! Thank you guys, See you soon.

Odd, come to the discord to discuss this

no pure config settings to get ?even when reset the game look not like in video

It's due to the dynamic shadows and the lack of screen-space information. You should disable extrafx TAA or if you like TAA, I think you can uncheck fakeshadowfx "Allow Weather FX to override shadow opacity". Let me know if the fakeshadowfx solution works

Why does the shadows of the cars looked jagged and not smooth? Is it in the shadow settings?

With S K Y ppfilters, you only need to reset to default and save in Pure config. I am aware of the dull colors as stated in the 0.5 release post. An update will come to address it.
