Simple Sun Mod & ENB sky textures

[denali 74]

The glare is a great effect.  But I'm more interested in the warmth of light that I'm seeing in the images.  Is that part of the sun mod too?  I would like to see colors like this (an airport I'm familiar with, I use photoscenery almost exclusively)

The warmth (as opposed to cooler/blue light, lower kelvins are warmer/yellow) is all that I think is missing in P3D.

When using Reshade you cab adjust RGB to make it look warmer.

Or you can adjust the NVidia Gamma.

 

However when flying at daytime you would have to reset it all.

 

In P3Dv2 I had multiple SweetFx profiles with different settings :

- Daytime

- Nighttime

 

And multiple cfg profiles :

- Clear or fair weather

- Cloudy

- Rainy

 

All controlled by batchfiles on my desktop.

I've wondered if there was a way to enable and disable shaders based on latitude, time of day, altitude, etc.    Well, actually, I know it can be done.  Just another item to the list.

Richard posting on another thread has reminded me (though for some reason I can't quote his post from page 2?); does anyone have a vanilla P3D3.1 install to try this on? I mean simply enabling the normal lens flare option and seeing if it gets masked by the VC on internal views? If so it may well be worth logging as a bug with LM over on their forums.

Its not a bug - its just P3D doing its thing - I dont know the reason but if you find out I think its something they are not going to address as it would probably break something else - same scenario as VC rain kind of

I dislike VC rain so much I'd rather that was broken completely! 

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

Wow you are one of the few - I would luv to have it - biggest let down for me was when Microsoft eliminated it

[TurboTomato 90]

Well what I mean is that the current effect is so bad (like going into hyperdrive or something) that I'd rather have it turned off than on! If they did something like ETS2 has on the truck windscreens I'd definitely want it!

I don't think the sun effect is too bad in P3d.  I also miss the VC rain effect Rich and wish Lockheed Martin would include it as an option to turn on or off.

Me too  :wink: but its not LM job to do that - its the aircraft maker to allow it to turn on - realair duke has it in P3D - but can kill fps

Are you actually using some sort of ENB Series? Because it has come to my attention that ENB uses DirectX 9, and IIRC, Prepar3D 3.2 uses DirectX 11... Wouldn't there be some kind of conflict between the two versions?

Indeed you are right ENB does not work with P3Dv2.x/3.x. Actually you can use Reshade or the RealismShaderPAck 1.1. Both are freeware. I personally use the simple sun mod with Reshade + Mastereffect together with the RSP 1.1. Currently im still on P3Dv3.2 i will go through the update as soon as i finished moving to my new home.
