February 9, 20179 yr That Better Sky got rid of all the banding issues. Everything looks great now! But it's not compatible with xEnviro is it? 4790K @4.9GHz, 32GB DDR3, 1080Ti, W10-64bit
February 9, 20179 yr But it's not compatible with xEnviro is it? Yes it works with Xenviro but banding is still there - better but still not right - Laminar needs to fix this basically Rich Sennett
February 9, 20179 yr Yes it works with Xenviro but banding is still there - better but still not right - Laminar needs to fix this basically Interesting so does Better Sky replace the XE textures? 4790K @4.9GHz, 32GB DDR3, 1080Ti, W10-64bit

February 9, 20179 yr Xenviro does not fix banding It might not fix it altogether, but it does seem far better to me ymmv. Default. xEnviro.
February 9, 20179 yr What I like about Xenviro is that I don't get amymore those "manga" colours at dawn and sunset, like some honestly unbelievable purple and orange all the way . Riccardo Viecca
February 9, 20179 yr What I like about Xenviro is that I don't get amymore those "manga" colours at dawn and sunset, like some honestly unbelievable purple and orange all the way . It does a great job on the whole. It sometimes throws up some odd combination, where the sky lighting doesn't match the terrain lighting, but overall it makes the most realistic atmospheric environment I've ever seen in a sim, even with its low resolution textures. It does a far better job than AS16 in P3D in the situations I've compared. As far as weather goes xE takes the crap weather element away from XP, which has always been a sticking point for me, although I would like manual control as well.
February 9, 20179 yr It might not fix it altogether, but it does seem far better to me ymmv. XEnviro comes with its own skydome and unless you tick it of, there is no skybanding. However, the ambient-light is still x-plane default so it looks out of place at dusk and dawn (the ambiente-light). Most notable in the cockpit. To yellowish most of the time IMHO. Can be cured with some replacement textures.

Can be cured with some replacement textures. I think this was explained in one of the dev blogs as a known bug. At dusk and dawn (only those times) with a colored sky, the ambient sky light is directly lighting the instrument panel, as if the body of the plane wasn't there. That's why the instrument panel has that yellow-orange look -- it's directly reflecting the sky light behind the plane. Since it's a known bug it should be fixed, eventually.

They moved XP11 release date till the end of March now - showing on steam at the moment but we all know that can change in a blink of an eye Rich Sennett
February 9, 20179 yr They moved XP11 release date till the end of March now - showing on steam at the moment but we all know that can change in a blink of an eye Good thing, I wouldn't want to see a Steam launch with glaring bugs still there.

February 9, 20179 yr Xenviro does not fix banding - platform needs to be fixed but look here havent tried it yet might help out until Laminar fixes the issue http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/114681-xp-11-better-sky-released/ Hmmm, still there must be a way to get rid of that nuclear blast (pic #2 in his set) | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

February 10, 20179 yr That huge bright light in shot #2 on that xplane org link The sun is a huge ball of light - looks like a nuclear blast went off.
