P3D V4.5 HF2 Grew tired of the moon and sun

[Rogen 1,087]

Grew tired of the default sun, moon and night sky in general.

Applied a few changes.

Since I have Rex Direct Textures I chose a nice blazing sun.

Then updated the night sky textures with the below items from Flight Sim Jewels.

HD moon, Milky Way, Aurora Borealis and Stars.

Also upped the sizing in the sun/moon config file.

C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\suneffect.cfg

[general]
SunSize=2896
MoonSize=3010

And finally enabled cockpit lens flare which is much more subtle in P4D than FSX (yes not realistic but I like the subtle look).

C:\Users\account.name\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\cameras.cfg

[CameraDefinition.002]
Title = Virtual Cockpit
ShowLensFlare=TRUE \\ FALSE is the default

Cheers

Hey thanks :-)

Say you might be just the person to ask.

There are a few Qantas Link repaints for said jet in AVSim.net.

However they say they're 32 bit FSX, would they likely work with P3D v4?

I ask because I've not really had anything to do with repaints as such.

Cheers

Lovely...! Some of the best "Moon" images, I've ever seen here...(and I'm often looking for just the "default" Moon to catch, for one of my images...no comparison to this...)...!

They may work...i know the P3d version of the 146 is not PBR...so they may if they didnt re-arrange the texture maps (they usually don't unless its a major upgrade to the model).  Try them out and see.
