    Have been doing research and wanted to have a clean game picture for playing and recording content for my youtube channel.. This is what i have been able to get with just a few adjustments. No filter was used for any pf these pictures just Photo Mode

    I have a few suggestions:
    1. Decrease the FOV
    If the FOV is too wide and there is too much background around the focus point (the car), most people will look more at the background more than the main part of the picture

    2. Don't take pictures in the dark
    Pictures in the dark work better for other games, But Beamng's dark is much darker because there are no true environment lights (streetlamps, windows, etc.), so the latest I would take pictures is sunset, and not much further than that

    Here are a few examples of my work:

    Thank you for the tips ! and your pictures look really clean and thats what im aiming for... Night time looks so sweet on specific vehicle lights and the shadows it casts do look really good.

    Some more recently added cars have better lighting compared to earlier cars, so if you want to take pictures at night, maybe try cars added/remastered from after about 0.21 or so, those are the cars that have better textures and lighting effects

    I think there are too many tiny clouds. You should make bigger, less numerous clouds

    Also, another recommendation for night shots is use West Coast lights mod, adds much more life to the picture

    Edit:
    The lower FOV make the picture look more full, looks very nice

    I don't know if WCUSAL still works with the new update, you would have to try it yourself
