Some other shots from southeastern USA.

 

Addons:

donationware HD mesh v3 by Alpilotx + donationware W2XP America by SimHeaven;

tweaked skycolors and art controls.

 

Unedited shots.

Little Rock, Arkansas:

 

 

 

 

Montgomery, Alabama:

 

 

 

 

 

Wow. Did you tweak those datarefs any further ?
Today I did a flight with your recommendations in the Southern Alps, and I felt the heat of the hot air :-) . 

You are doing a great job with this sim.

Do you mind sharing your skycolors and art controls  ? this looks very nice.

STUNNING!!!!!  You've nailed the skycolor,just the right amount of color and haze.

For art controls, try:

 

atmo/scatter_raleigh_b=41

atmo/scatter_raleigh_g=17

atmo/scatter_raleigh_r=5.6

skyc/min_shadow_angle=-90

sgadow/total_fade_ratio=1

skyc/tone_ratio_mount=0 or 1

 

All experimental, don't expect perfect results in every possible case. :smile:

Excellent shots!

Thanks Murmur, I think i have these from one of your previous posts don't remember which one.

The best shots on XP !

 

@Murmur ; 

do you have your objets and trees set to max (in graphic settings) ?

 

the textures are very nice : are they the default ones ? any special settings in graphic or driver options ?

(I don't have so detailled textures)

Yes objects and trees to max, but you'll need a very powerful PC for that. On my old notebook, I get single digits FPS with those settings.

 

Textures are default, at max resolution.

Just outstanding!

@Murmur,

 

 The lighting now looks so much better , in fact the grass looks very nice, but this has a bad effect on clouds, my clouds are bright white.  Can those be helped ?

Try this. It has original cloud colors.
