Nova Optics (Gameplay ENV Tuning with Vehicle Exposure Fix)

Nova Optics fixes first-person vehicle exposure in one click or lets you fine-tune environment settings.

It started as a CET-based version of ENV Tuner Lite and evolved into a standalone tool focused on FPP driving. It updates values in real time and applies changes only when needed. It replaces Preem Optics and Blind Begone while staying compatible with weather mods.

Warning
– Not compatible with ENV Tuner or ENV Tuner Lite

What it does
The auto-exposure system in Cyberpunk 2077 does not handle the limited view inside vehicles. This causes blown highlights, dark shadows, and brightness jumps when entering or exiting vehicles or tunnels.

Nova Optics fixes this at the engine level. It overrides exposure curves, bloom, and adaptation speed only in first-person vehicle view. It detects camera changes in real time. Third-person restores default visuals. Switching back to first-person re-applies the fix instantly.

Auto Mode (Recommended)
– Open the CET overlay
– Enable the mod and turn on Auto
– Close the overlay and drive

Auto applies a balanced set of exposure, bloom, and adaptation values without changing your saved settings. When you disable Auto, your previous setup is restored.

Manual Mode
Disable Auto to access full controls:

– Exposure overrides: min and max offsets, FPP vehicle fix, vehicle-only toggle, transition time
– Adaptation: speed up and down, FPP-only toggle
– Vignette: exponent control
– Bloom: color scale, size, anamorphic effect, luminance threshold, scene blend, FPP-only toggle
– Lens flare: chromatic effect, halo width, saturation, scale
– Chromatic aberration: exponent, margin, size X/Y, subpixel dispersion

All changes apply instantly for live preview.

Vehicle behavior
– FPP-only settings work only inside non-bike vehicles
– Switching to third-person disables them smoothly
– Switching back re-enables them
– Leaving the vehicle restores default values
– Bikes are excluded
