Shader App for P3Dv5 - Need Testers

[fs1 295]

Hello everyone!

I am finishing a simple P3D v5 Shader App. I will need some testers and volunteers.

So, if you are interested in testing appreciate if you PM me with your email address, Skype (or similar) and your PC specs.

Thanks!

Hi Federico.  For EA Mode on in P3D V5?

EA overrules shader mods as it uses its own resources.

I assume that also. But he is speaking about a app......so it can also overrule EA. Like Reshade or REX EF. Just out of curiosity....

Yes, the application will work with some parameters of EA @GSalden

It will work on existing P3D Shader variables as well as some changes - when possible to some EA parameters

Federico...one thing that is really needed that I miss from PTA in 4.5 is a shader tweak for the ground night lighting textures. If you use Orbx, you cannot see anything up at altitude since they dimmed the textures so much. PTA had a way to brighten them. Just a suggestion and glad to hear there is a new tool in the works!

At this moment I am using EnvShade which is capable of doing some shader mods but it can only tweak the 2 existing EnvShade profiles a little.

With V4 I used PTA and I also was a beta tester for that. I also have my own Thread at the PTA forum with custom presets. Being able to make a Shader preset from scratch would be very welcome.

Here some tweaks that I find important :

- ambient / diffuse lighting AG 

- ambient / diffuse terrain lighting

- terrain saturation 

- clouds light scattering 

- clouds saturation 

- Raleigh scattering + haze

- Autogen lighting

I would add VC lighting - they are much darker than in V4 😒

@GSalden I have difficulties to tune EnvShade and so far I disactived it. Any clue on parameters to improve even a little. So far, I don't use EA, waiting for V5.1 🙂

Thanks - Gérard (another one - with an accent...)

I wouldn't do anything until V5.1 is out.

Cheers, Rob.

Of course this would be something for the long term P3D 5.x development program. I have the backbones of the program working from a while I will release what I have and see how goes.

Thanks, I will add them to the list.

Hi All, the application is ready for testing. P3Dv5 HF1 and previous version.

I sent PMs to the already volunteers. I anyone else wants to test please PM me.

Thanks!

For Truesky EA mode on? Thanks for your time and feedback Federico.

One of the most importent tweak which comes with PTA and Tomato as well was the Anti-Popcorn-Clouds tweak. Would like to see it again with your app -:)

I will be trying to focus on EA at the moment. After this, legacy clouds for sure
