Please help me with this mini-sun...

Recommended Posts

How would one increase the amount of glare and glow from the sun? It's the one thing that really bothers me in P3D that when I look directly at the sun which in reality would be nearly blinding, does very little to affect the view in simulator. I've been searching for a sun mod that produces that effect but to no avail.

I posted this awhile back and still working with v3.1.

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

 

A bit late but excellent post there Rob.
