December 30, 20205 yr I was disappointed to discover that P3D didn’t include the northern lights (Aurora Borealis), even though FS9 had implemented this ten years ago. Is there an add on that would create them?

December 30, 20205 yr Commercial Member V5 has aurora borealis by default.. Oficial Website: https://www.FSReborn.com Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/XC82TqvKQ3
December 30, 20205 yr ENVTEX by TOGA projects also adds them. However, they are placed at certain places around the globe and are not randomly generated:https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1fNWr3RDS4VF3fzJGZFqY87BxYpUlCqUw&ll=60.650344005902454%2C-37.92485620927312&z=3https://www.togaprojects.com/auroras Nevertheless, they do look nice and enhance flying in the northern latitudes. And if you are not using EA you will also benefit from great looking sky textures that can be combined with ASCA. Envtex's Auroras do btw also work with Enhanced Atmospherics.

December 30, 20205 yr Author Does P3D5 show them? Even without using EA? AMD Ryzen™ 9 9900X3D, AM5, Zen 5, 12 Core, 24 Threads, 4.4GHz, 5.5GHz Turbo 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6000MHz Corsair Vengeance 32GB GeForce® RTX 5090 Graphics Card

December 31, 20205 yr Author Does anyone know what the conditions have to be, where I have to be etc in default P3D5 with ASP3D to generate them?

February 14, 20233 yr I would like to know too. I have installed custom sky textures from Mo-Vision and tomato shade RDPresets. I am on v4.5 HF3 still. I don't see them at all.
February 14, 20233 yr I found a way to work it. First, I increased drastically the effects live time lines to 5 numbers each and second, if you are using Tomato Shade, just restore shaders to original values. That's the only way for Aurora to work in sim.
