P3D4 Sunset when Overcast

Recommended Posts

I've been exploring some new FPS-intensive times of day after some new-found performance through the anti-aliasing settings, and I noticed something quite strange.

I always fly with Active Sky, and I've been flying in some fully overcast skies at sunset. However, I've noticed that all buildings (custom scenery and autogen) still light up pink/orange as if it's sunset on a clear day. This happens with or without TomatoShade. I do have cloud shadows enabled and draw distance on "high".

Is this a known limitation of P3D still? (I know it was back in the V2/V3 days.) Or am I just messing something up in my settings?

To reply to my own topic, yes, it is a limitation of P3D.

I'm now using the iniB TS preset for TomatoShade with extended cloud shadows and the relevant Tomato Optimization for the fixes. This makes it much more acceptable than the previous R&D preset I was using.
