Haze is to thick

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm having a problem with the haze effect being so strong that I can't see the sun.  I'm using PTA 2.11 and I'm still using P3D 3.4.  I lowered all of the settings in the atmosphere and fog section to their lowest settings and I still can't see the sun while on the gulf coast of America at 3500 feet.  Can someone tell me what other parameter I might need to adjust?

Thanks Mark

You are using PTA 2 for P3Dv3 which does not work correctly in P3Dv4.

You need PTA for P3Dv4 starting at 2.50 and is currently at 2.51.

You should use glasses for reading. Mark use P3DV3.4 !

Mark, are you using Volumetric Fog. I noticed if I deselect VF I get a foggy sky. (not blue) However if I use VF all looks normal and I get a nice blue sky.

I don't remember having this issue in P3DV3 but I do in V4 so this may or may not help you in V3.

He wrote that he is STILL using P3Dv4 icw PTA 2.11.

PTA 2.11 does not work with v4 . And because he wrote STILL using v4 I presumed he made a typo and meant V3.

So you are too quick with your reply and it adds nothing to the topic ...

I wrote that I'm still using P3D V3.4.  Sorry for the confusion.  I'm using the VFog but I'll turn it off and see if that makes a difference.

 

edit: thanks Iceman I turned off VF and bingo there was the sun again.

Thanks Mark

I´ve noticed it too in V4 and this is different to V3. Currently I would prefer to fly without VF because at least with using active sky it gives you a almost endless upper visibility when putting the slider above 100. below 100 it extremely foggy with VF activated.

I think the PTA haze effect could compensate this but as far as I know it is currently buggy, isn´t it?


Best Regards,

Holger Mut

P3D 3.4  is   P3Dv3 though, right?  And hence not compatible with PTA v4 version.

Guess we're all confused haha!   No mind, let's get flying! :biggrin:
