I've notices that missions have a aweful cloud effect that make it hard to see. Namely the clouds in a mission reflect so much light i have to avoid looking at them. I've tried to adjust contrast and othe settings but it's still to bright. how about a bit of reductioon on the glare

I too have noticed that on some clouds and find myself zooming out a lot to avoid it. I should probably take my own advise here, but my guess is the devs would have a lot easier time fixing the problem if you note down which missions it occurs in and log a formal bug report.

I guess it's the bloom effect you are talking about. How high is your "Post Processing" setting? I'm not much of a mission runner myself so I rarely encounter these clouds, but try lowering it and see if it helps your eyes.

Either the bloom as mentioned by Corny1, or the HDR setting, or the combination of both. If the clouds are too bright in general, then please feel free to bug report it. Make sure to include your graphics settings and a screenshot of the case, along with the name of mission or site you encountered it in.
