Shadows in RTX mode

Hi, is there a way to turn off shadows in RTX mode? When I disable shadows in the settings they remain in RTX mode.

RTX mode looks beautiful, however it also looks very dark and cluttered with shadows.

Thank you

There's no 'daylight/skydome' feature in FlexSim but you can edit the lighting and expreriment until you get the effect you want. Click in free model space and in quick properties you'll see the light sources you can edit along with an ambient light picker.

With just ambient light the brightest I could get it was this.

You can find more information about editing the lights here.

You could also add a suggestion that the developers add a daylight lighting system or gamma setting or allow the ambient light to affect RTX mode or all of these.

Thank you, I'll play around with the lighting.

Is there a link to create suggestions to developers?

You can post it using the create menu at the top of the page - especially if you want to enter discussion on the forum or see the popularity of your idea:

Or if you want to just log it as an interest with the developer without any feedback you can email dev at flexsim.com

I posted a workaround with grid of lights in reply to this idea.

Also you may have better results with the lights added from the library for area and that reside in the model location (added 2020 - I missed that addition).

You can use Nvidia driver settings to prevent any shadows. It is a tweak in gamers community to disable shadows.

Thanks Joerg, do you know where to find this setting? Or the name of it? I cannot seem to find it in Nvidia settings control panel.
