X-Plane 10: Experimenting with art controls (Raleigh scattering)

How do I remove the whole line?

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Can someone write a lua script that disables the glare at night (because of the sometimes extreme and ugly moon glare) but enables it for the daytime/sunrise/sunset (because otherwise you have no sun at all)? This could be using the sun pitch dataref (kill glare if sun pitch is less than - 8.0 degrees)...

 

This would be the art control

 

set( "sim/private/controls/dome/kill_glares", 1.00)

 

Thanks in advance

dataref ("sonnenwinkel", "sim/graphics/scenery/sun_pitch_degrees", "readonly")

 

function glare ()

 

if sonnenwinkel <= -8.00 then

set( "sim/private/controls/dome/kill_glares", 1.00)

end 

if sonnenwinkel >= -8.01 then

set( "sim/private/controls/dome/kill_glares", 0.00)

end

end

 

do_sometimes ("glare()")

 

it´s some simple function, but for this Dataref should be enough!

cheers!

Thanks a lot AUA, I will try it right away tomorrow. Will report back.

Works like a charm I changed the degree setting to 5/5.01, the transition is better then.

Thanks for your help!!!

Picture before and after please

 

@AUA425 Would this be better of in a single .lua or could one combine it?

He guys we need to get organized. Could someone post an up to date tuned lua script on this forum? We need to have a hub for this project. Perhaps GitHub?

.....Or downloads at xplane org?

Someone at the org made some Lua scripts that already that utilize some of these atmospheric changes here:

It's called "Real Terra Haze" by Spas79

 

You can download and take a look at those scripts.

Ok thanks! I was also wondering if we could have a community hub open to those active in this development so we could streamline this process.

Oops never-mind I wasn't aware of this. Did someone resolve the sky max pro issue?

hello friends!

 

As Tom suggested  -> i would upload this "tweaks" to xp-developer.com, it´s more manageable!

 

@Tom  as you like, you can ad this string to your current lua script, or write a single lua. file ( i have all my tweaks in one single file), there is no influence on performance !

 

cheers!

[tknudsen 26]

Nice, cudos

[ryanbatc 13,132]

The string cloud_shadow_lighten_ratio is too high. Set max to 0.9

 

I adjusted this value down to .6 and still am getting the black/dark line in external view?  What are others using to get rid of it?

[Douglas.Matos 1]

Hey Tom, I'm using light tweak and I'm having this problem with the lights stay "blinking" black, why does this happen?
