I have uploaded the correct V8 ( same link as before ) :    http://members.casema.nl/gsalden/PTA2-Saldo 4_1 v8 Vis 125.rar 

Nice work Gerard. Your settings really improve the look of the sim substantially. I got a little worried with the darkness of the original V8, but I figured that you would eventually fix whatever was set wrong.

Unfortunately the iSeason formula is no longer in the shaders. I wanted to make the upper site of the clouds a little brighter towards december as at default they are getting to dark...

For myself I now have changed the Clouds Lighting formula : instead of 63 and 78 it is now 78 and 63. The Total of 141 remains the same.

Version 10 :

- Clouds Fog Tuning added and tuned to make it look more like looking at the horizon from out of the cockpit  

- There now are 12 version of V10. A different one for each month of the year. ( Clouds lighting difference in each month.)

Info :

From summer to winter the clouds lighting during the day is getting way less than in reality. Therefore the clouds look to dark. Especially in december. Towards winter each monthly preset  has a little more clouds lighting during the day in the montly presets. From januari upwards till june each month has a little less lighting.. The nights were correct already. Now it is balance again.

If you only want one preset for the whole year use june. Otherwise the clouds will become to bright ( white ) during summer.

Hi guys,

The v10 presets will be ready for upload again within 3h from now.

I have tuned the clouds lighting for both 3D as cirrus clouds a little more . And with dynamic values , so they change continuesly.

Just redownload it again and you will be fine.

regards,

Gerard

It will take a little longer as clouds lighting at 21 jun is different from 21 december.I just finished june and december.

Later today I will finish the other months which will be easy then.

Hi all,

Post your presets including a screenshot in this thread.

 

Here is my first version, which is based on my PTA2-thopat-2_0_5 saldo-Vis 125 preset

Enjoy, Gerard

Hello Gerard, when I click on the link this is what I get:

"The requested file / page is not known

You may be using the wrong name. Also check that there are no spaces or spelling errors in it and try again."

Thanks.

That is a very old preset which has been improved 9 times.

V4 - V5 - V8 - V9 are still for download, but I advise you to use V10.

regards, Gerard

Hi Gerard, 

I got something strange happening.... sometimes the horizon becomes very very bright like full bloom effect. If i will open some window like for example the settings screen and close it, it will dissaper after few seconds but it can come back after a while. Dont know what causing this. 

Help ! which tweak causing this ??

[jabloomf1230 2,445]

I have a different issue with V10. When I look straight ahead out of the VC, all runway and taxiway textures disappear and the surface is black. All other textures look okay and looking left and right is okay too. Reverting to default shaders fixes the problem.
