December 10, 20196 yr Anybody else have this issue with this combination in stormy weather?? i suspect low level clouds should be darker? cheers mike
December 11, 20196 yr Is that above clouds or below clouds? Can you post a screenshot? I am using ASCA with Envshade/Envtex.

Low level clouds, won’t be on my pc for a couple days. Will post a screen shot when I do. i mean it does look like light grey white. but for instance if there was a storm brewing it should be a darker grey with darker shadows?? cheers mike

December 14, 20196 yr Author Can anybody else share their experience if they use envtex envshade and asca

Hey, not on my pc at the moment. though the cumulus low clouds bright white. i did go back into envtex and changed true setting to 2 and 3 and that did change it a little darker shade of grey. now depending on the weather, for instance if a storm is brewing the clouds should get dark a lot darker. which it doesn’t seem to do so. cheers mike
December 16, 20196 yr Again, post a picture as soon as you will have the opportunity, and also post your P3D shadow settings. Otherwise, I don't know how bright is too bright.
December 17, 20196 yr Author https://ibb.co/d0fjQBm here is a pic not too far from my place. real pic of how clouds look. thou when I set it up in envtex and asca the grey does not look anywhere near as close. i haven’t been able to get time to get on my pc to compare. but I will soon thou. Edited by Jim Young - Link is dead.
December 17, 20196 yr Author here’s a link comparing real clouds and envtex and https://ibb.co/ZTkW0L1 as you can see the right pic of clouds are a litter darker shade of grey.
December 17, 20196 yr I know I always thought my HDR settings were messed up as the clouds always appeared very bright so I kept HDR turned off. Then, the other day I was driving and looked up in the sky and saw exactly the same really bright clouds the HDR displays. So, HDR is very accurate (try default settings). Even though it is very accurate, I keep it turned off as it is so bright it gives me no enjoyment and I feel sorry for the real world pilots who have to put up with these bright clouds as they have no way of turning them off.

Yes, depending on the weather conditions for the most part during the day the cumulus clouds are very bright. but as the pic shows mentioned above. how does envtex or asca not depict similar deeper darker grey. i am also using hdr settings with envshade. ive noticed in some videos that sky force does a good job of that? or am I missing something in settings? thanks mike
December 17, 20196 yr I only use the default shaders that come with P3D. REX is having a sale right now so might be the time to try it. Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!
