August 27, 20178 yr I read a post on this forum about a free open source project called OpenShade, hosted on the GitHub site. Apparently this post has been removed. Is there something fishy about this ? AMD 7 7700X, 32GB DDR5, RTX 5060ti 16GB, 2 x Samsung 1TB NVMe, 1 x 4TB sata SSD, Windows 11 Prof
August 27, 20178 yr I just found out about this yesterday too. The github project is here: https://github.com/LB767/OpenShade I've tried it out quickly, and I seems to work. Needs a lot more investigation, but for a free option I'm willing to give it a look. Guy Webb
August 27, 20178 yr Gees Louise, I just bought PTA yesterday. I would have tried this out first before buying PTA. Thanks for the link. I will have to check this out as well. Bryan Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3

August 29, 20178 yr Awesome. We definitely needed a freeware alternative in the spirit of the original. Daniel Moser
August 29, 20178 yr Well I have downloaded it. I have never used a shade modifier before but i have seen videos that appears to be very real looking claiming to have used some shade modification. Also there is a lot of hype in FS! Far to much and far more than their used to be. Personally, I like the try before you buy approach. I like free demos that have a time limit. Enough time so that I can determine for myself if claims about the addon are accurate or if they are merely hype. I'll give this a shot and if its looking like shadder modification is worthwhile I'll look at that payware options
August 30, 20178 yr Anyway, I tried it and clicked apply Preset and A window opened saying Open Shade has stopped working etc. etc. So that the end of that!
