March 24, 201610 yr Author Guys I'm bloody confused lol I'm a little slow, so I have volumetric fog enabled And upper visibility set to 90 with cloud fx I set to .50 Cloud layers 3 Do I set multiple viaibility layers on? Does it really show or make a difference? Or keep it off? Or turn off volumetric fog off and leave it at that? Cheers Mike
March 24, 201610 yr Commercial Member You should ONLY comment out the "#define VOLUMIZE" entry, not the "#ifdef..." one. Thanks. But after I edited the file, deleted shader cache and loaded my test situation, EVERYTHING was exactly identical. FPS and clouds are exactly the same, no difference at all. Pretty strange.

March 25, 201610 yr Makes my head spin. I got mine setup with Multiple Cloud layers off + Vol fog on = Time to Fly!! Still trying to understand what some people were seeing with the max visibility etc uproar; really don't understand (Somthing about the sky not blue enough?). I'm happy with what I've got so that's all that matters. Sean Green

March 25, 201610 yr Max Visibility restriction does not work Is that only for Upper Visiblity Limit? If so that's ok as I've never adjusted that value anyway. Usually leave it at default. Sean Green
March 25, 201610 yr If it doesn' work the Upper Visibility will always maxed out... So you need the settings as I described before. Either Off/Off or On/On. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
March 25, 201610 yr Sean, with your settings the Max Visibility restriction does not work... I did not understand a thing. By default, Maximum surface visibility and Maximum upper visibility are, respectively, 75 and 100. These parameters are also respected with Multiple Cloud layers off? Edit: Sorry, Gerard he gave me the answer.
March 25, 201610 yr Bij default Multiple cloud layers are off. If you have Vol Fog disabled in P3D it is all working. With the wrong settings combo the alternating restriction ( autoadjustment ) will not work. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
March 25, 201610 yr PincoPanco, if you don't notice I wouldn't worry. Just go and fly. It is always a matter whether you notice something wrong. Then it's maybe time to change something. Regards, Chris -- PC: Intel 13900K, Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090, 64GB Fury Beast DDR5 RAM; Display: Varjo Aero VR
March 25, 201610 yr Bij default Multiple cloud layers are off. If you have Vol Fog disabled in P3D it is all working.

March 25, 201610 yr Thanks, i have Multiple cloud layers On + Volumetric Fog On + autoadjustment on, so all ok. The most perfect combo. If you fps are suffering go to the Off/Off settings. And if then you fps are still suffering put Cloud Shadow quality to Low and in your p3d.cfg file set Cloud Texture Size manually to 256 ( default is 512 ). 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
