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

[scotchegg 4,186]

I would strongly recommend all developers to upload their work on

http://www.xp-developer.com/downloads

 

And of course join, will be happy to have a dedicated discustion category for this and many more projects

Just for transparency it should be noted Tom runs this website.

Does anyone know what gives the clouds their colors at dawn and dusk? Is it done through art controls? If so, which ones? I'd like to tone the colors down quite a bit.

I think that is done through the shaders. Its a dynamic hardware rendering and can't be set directly via an Art Control value.

Insane, do you have the lua code for this setting? Want to give it a try today..

Hi Tom,

 

Here is the code I am using. Basically I took a little of each of the codes in this thread and modified them to my liking.

 

set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/cloud_shadow_lighten_ratio",       0.85 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/atmo_scale_raleigh",        20.0 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/inscatter_gain_mie",     5.0 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/inscatter_gain_raleigh",        10.0 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_b",         40 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_g",      10.30 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_r",    0.010 )

set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/white_out_in_clouds",     0.5 )

set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/plot_radius",    1.20 )

set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/soft_occlude",  1.00 )

set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/mie_scattering_foggy",  25.000 )

set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/mie_scattering_ocast",  7.00 )

set( "sim/private/controls/lights/bloom_far", 3000.00 )

set( "sim/private/controls/lights/bloom_near", 120.00 )

set( "sim/private/controls/lights/mix_big", 80.000 )

set( "sim/private/controls/lights/mix_small", 25.00)

set( "sim/private/controls/lights/bloom_for_zoom", 0.60)

set( "sim/private/controls/hdr/gain_min", -4.8)

set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/ambient_gain", 4.0)

Thanks, will try them for sure.

[tknudsen 26]

Did it, tride it and loved it, thanks! Will incorporate my light tweaks into this aswell.

 

Now here are some pics from the test

Great shots Tom.

 

What would be amazing is if, maybe after we know what's in 10.30, someone can develop a pugin that alters the main artrefs depending on the weather, season and location. For example the amount of blue tint in the scattering presumably differs according to the environment.

 

I would pay through the nose for that...

With SkyMaxx Pro as seen in pics, changing to i.e dusk or dawn makes it just more realistic, almost scary real. But yes, i too would second such motion

Great pics Tom.

thanks for posting the code Michael T

How to install this?

 

1. Download the Fly with Lua script

 

2. Unzip and place the folder into your plugin folder as described in the readme

 

3. Make sure you have xsquawkbox installed

 

4. Delete all .lua scripts in the /Resource/plugin/FlywithLua/Script folder

 

5. Open Notepad and paste in the code

 

set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/cloud_shadow_lighten_ratio", 0.85 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/atmo_scale_raleigh", 20.0 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/inscatter_gain_mie", 5.0 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/inscatter_gain_raleigh", 10.0 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_b", 40 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_g", 10.30 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_r", 0.010 )

set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/white_out_in_clouds", 0.5 )

set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/plot_radius", 1.20 )

set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/soft_occlude", 1.00 )

set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/mie_scattering_foggy", 25.000 )

set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/mie_scattering_ocast", 7.00 )

set( "sim/private/controls/lights/bloom_far", 3000.00 )

set( "sim/private/controls/lights/bloom_near", 120.00 )

set( "sim/private/controls/lights/mix_big", 80.000 )

set( "sim/private/controls/lights/mix_small", 25.00)

set( "sim/private/controls/lights/bloom_for_zoom", 0.60)

set( "sim/private/controls/hdr/gain_min", -4.8)

set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/ambient_gain", 4.0)

 

6. Make sure you save the file as "save all not text" and lable the extention with .lua

 

i.e scattering.lua or test.lua

 

7. make sure this file is then put into the /Resource/plugin/FlywithLua/Script folder

 

8. Start X-Plane and Enjoy it

Thanks for the info Tom, I've installed it and finally it works without loading up a Carenado
