Terrain diffuse tweak not working

[Guest tymk]

Hi,

I've just run into an issue that's driving me barking mad... I have a fresh and clean install of P3D v.3.4.22.19868 with PTA 2.11 and all tweaks work beautifully except "Terrain lighting" > "Diffuse sunlight ratio". I've tried reinstalling the P3D client to make sure I have correct base shaders, resetting all configs, etc., but any changes to this parameter have no effect (HDR on, tessellation enabled). I've tested my older presets and a new preset created from scratch, but to no effect. The tweaks get added to the shader files, but there's no effect in the sim. Could I ask someone to test this setting at their end?

TIA,

Tym

Hi Tym

P3D 3.4.22.19868 here, the tweak works as usual.

(Left:  diffuse = 1.00 Right = 2.50)

Hi Yuri,

There's something strange going on in my installation... The "diffuse" parameter seems to affect shadow areas instead of sunlit areas.

This is default scenery around EPTO. Here's one with "Diffuse sunlight ratio" = 1.30:

And here with 2.60 (ambient at 0.70 in both):

Sunlit areas stay the same, only the shadow depth changes...
