October 18, 201510 yr There is a file text file in the sim's main folder it allows you to adjust the size of the sun and moon, I usually set mine at 5000 or so I think its called sun effect or something like that. ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI. Type Ratings B-737, ERJ-190,ERJ-170

October 19, 201510 yr REX4 TD does not make the sun smaller, at least not for me. Rather the opposite. Also, I found that tweaking the suneffect.cfg within the P3D folder itself does not have any effect on size, whatsoever. Is it really a suneffect.cfg in the programdata folder? Brynjar Mauseth

October 19, 201510 yr Zoom 0.90 Clouds and sky looking great. Moon a bit small but better than the sun. I want a normal size sun ( bloom is on )........ All working suggestions are welcome.. This from http://www.freemars.org/jeff/planets/Luna/Luna.htm "The Sun happens to be 400 times the Moon's diameter, and 400 times as far away. That coincidence means the Sun and Moon appear to be the same size when viewed from Earth. A total solar eclipse, in which the Moon is between the Earth and Sun, blocks the bright light from the Sun's photosphere, allowing us to see the faint glow from the corona, the Sun's outer atmosphere." The defaults settings in Prepar3dV3 suneffect.cfg are (the one in the programdata folder must be changed); [general] SunSize=900 MoonSize= 2072 This is patently incorrect, hence the very small sun (43% of moon size)! just changing sunsize to equal moonsize [general] SunSize= 2072 MoonSize= 2072 and the sun will be as in the image below - much better! This assumes the moon size is correct of course. If you think moon is too small just up that a bit, and adjust sun to same. Don't know how the value of 2072 for MoonSize is calculated; if we knew we could use the exact arcsecond sizes of sun/moon as seen from earth to compute the real value! sun max 31.6 minutes = 1896 seconds of arc 0.5267 degrees moon max 33.5 minutes = 2010 seconds of arc 0.5583 degrees So sunsize is really 0.9433 of moon size Thats when both closest to earth. Doubt P3D simulates elliptical orbits of either. The "real" 2010 seconds of arc for moon size is in same ballpark as the MoonSize=2072 P3D value. Maybe these are arc second values? So one could also try [general] SunSize= 1896 MoonSize= 2010 and see if these look "real" With sunsize at either 2072 or 1896 sun will be double the defualt size so maybe GSALDEN will have to reach for his polaroids when flyiing towards a setting sun in that great cockpit of his!

October 19, 201510 yr Anyone tried these sun settings in Prepar3D? http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?42891-Sun-Glow-by-Pablo-Diaz! "Sun Glow by Pablo Diaz". I like that the sun has a natural glow to it, and I cant make the "Simple Sun Mod" here at the Avsim library to look quite the way I want to in P3D... Brynjar Mauseth
October 19, 201510 yr Commercial Member We notice a common mistake people make with REX is not selecting the HDR option within REX when utilizing HDR in P3D. Also keep in mind that visibility 'chokes' the size and opacity. Below are a few pics of how the sun appears using REX4 (set #8) and P3Dv3. Remember, this is just one set of sun/flares/effects. There are many to choose from to suit your needs. :wink: Tim FuchsManaging PartnerREX SIMULATIONS website: www.rexsimulations.comsupport: www.rexaxis.com
