V5 nightlight

Featured Replies

Hello,

In v4 we had Tomatoshade for nightlighting but in v5 the nightlight is too bright again. Is there a chance to fix it?

Edited by mobiel

I went to XP11, they have excellent night lighting, but tacky user interface and options

When I use EA at night VC is very nice and bright, once off it is very dark....which I am not crazy about. During the day I prefer to have that off and use natural P3D weather and SF for now. Only Envshade makes my sky to "blue". 

Now I am experimenting night lights....none to my liking and is someone has any idea I would appreciate.

I also really wish we could have more xplane like lighting with P3D.

Compared to MSFS night lighting, this looks ancient now.

I don't. The lighting is nice but IF you compare to an aircraft, the aircraft seems to be too bright in my opionion

P3D does change ambient night light with moon phase.  You might want to search for threads about that.

No way...

I have seen several vids with MSFS nightlighting and while it looks not bad it is less real than N E .

Perhaps it will be improved in a future update.

I wouldn't say "ancient" but trying to beat the new sim in the graphics department is like racing a Dodge Charger Hellcat SRT with your mom's Toyota Camry.

Yes, perhaps, old tired tech that does not stand up to what the latest generation of software development can produce would have been more accurate.

A certain developer and his stuff will not measure up to what you will see. Just wait until the 18th and then check back.

There's a setting/edit in the Prepar3d.cfg to turn this off and on. Anyone recall what this edit is?

MOON_PHASE_LIGHTING=True
Obviously a full moon will give you a lot of ambient light, but it will be very dark when there's a new moon.

Change 'true' to 'false' if the ambient light is too dark for your preferences.
