Well, that thing is not exactly HDR. :p Nvidia has no equivalent of the smartshader function though, and for that matter ATI doesn't either anymore unless you use an old driver. That works fine on older cards but isn't really a viable option on current gen ones.

I never liked that effect much in FS2 though. Even the "lite" version makes the backgrounds look all blurred out. Maybe the game itself will support a bloom feature at some point (that doesn't affect the backgrounds) once shaders are added in.

I'm going to be waiting for that myself. I have a lot of Direct3D based games I want to bloom-ify. Freelancer and Phantasy Star Universe, for starters.

Err, the SCP "bloom" effect is only going to work in FS_O, you understand, right?
