PTA vs Tomato Shade

Featured Replies

Good day,

Can anybody elaborate on differences between the two (except one is free and the other one require to be purchased).

I'm a PTA (purchased) user, mainly I'm interested which one is less demanding on resources, I hear that  PTA will kill some FPS.

Also it appears to me that Tomato S has a few more options.

I would appreciate any comparison between the two, thanks.

I don't have tomato shade but from what I understand is that tomato shade has more impact on fps as compared to PTA.

Tomato shade has been the most revolutionary add in I’ve used on my sim. The realism I get with the dynamic PBR reflections on the aircraft have made my sim into a beautiful aircraft that I just can’t get over.  Lockheed needs to make this addition of features to the aircraft because everything just looks incredible. 

 

Here are are some examples of mine.

Hi all,

I am surprised to discover Tomato just now.
And so happy I did.
This smart tool does EXACTLY what I was dreaming about for my liners, make them shine!

I use and like PTA very much because the beautiful shaders really changed my simming experience.
But Tomato is bringing it to another level of immersion.
