Unedited shots, with modified atmospheric DataRefs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That looks like a totally different environment within X-Plane.  Amazing.  I will be giving this a go for sure.

Incredible!!!!

Very nice, but for those of us interested, but not necessarily XP savvy, could you explain?

 

Thanks,

 

Scott

There's a simple free plug-in called "DataRef Editor" with which you can modify a lot of the internal X-Plane variables. In these shots, I modified some of the variables that control the color and lighting scattering of the atmosphere.

 

Two downsided:

 

1) The variables return to their default value when exiting X-Plane;

 

2) "DataRef Editor" is only intended for internal development/debugging, so of course meddling with internal X-Plane variables is not officially supported by Laminar Research (a bit like meddling with fsx.cfg or with internal FSX variables).

Gotcha!  Thanks for the explanation.

SPLENDID!

Simply gorgeous!

 

For those who've not dipped a toe into X-Plane yet- Come on in, the waters fine!

These are seriously super fantastic, stunning wonderful ... amazing postcards here!

WOW!

While the shots look great I think the mounains are a bit to purple.

Awesome shots ! :Applause:

Wow.

OK.......You sparked my interest,I Downloaded/Installed DRE,Can you share the settings that you edited? Thank You :smile:

Just experimenting with them, didn't write down the values, however try these ranges:

 

atmo_scale_raleigh = 25 to 45

inscatter_gain_mie = 2 to 10

inscatter_gain_raleigh = 10 to 30

scatter_raleigh_b = 39 to 99.

 

They influence each other, so higher values of some of them give only good results with higher (or lower) values of some other of them. I'll write a "rule of thumbs guide" in the General X-Plane Forum later.

Some very interesting and impressive effects you have going on there.
