The best lighting ever.

As for the text - have no idea where to look for those changes.

 

You'll need to install datarefeditor in your X-Plane ( http://developer.x-plane.com/tools/datarefeditor/ ), then you can open the "Art Controls" (while running X-Plane, in the plugins menu), then search for and change the datarefs I listed.

 

Done this way, it needs to be done every time you re-start X-Plane. A python plugin would allow you to change them permanently.

So your saying I will have to input the text each time I start X-Plane?

Yes, unless you have python installed and you know a little python, you can write a little script so that it automatically modifies datarefs for you each time you start the sim.

This can also be done with Lua: 
1st install flywithlua, then

2nd create a new file in the scripts folder, like: perfect_lightning.lua
3rd copy the datarefs in this file and save:

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_b", 41 )
set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_g", 17 )
set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_r", 5.8 )
 
set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/raleigh_scattering_mount", 0.212 )
set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/min_shadow_angle", -90 )
set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/tone_ratio_mount", 0 )
 
set( "sim/private/controls/shadow/total_fade_ratio", 1 )

Murmur,These edits are fantastic,I'm loving the late day haze effect.Is there anyway to permanently save these settings so I don't need to edit these every time I start XPane? Thank You
