Hi there,

I’m sill dicey on using shader mods, and was wondering if anyone here can help. To make things for myself easier, or so I thought, I just purchased Envshade, installation went fine, but I’m not sure it’s effecting anything in P3dv5hf1. I was using it without EA on.

im still reading the manual, but any beginner envshade tips would be greatly appreciated 😎.

Cheers,

Pete

I just purchased Envshade as well and i have the same problem, Looks like it's default after installation using EA. I will follow this thread.

TOGO, which produces the ENV products as a Facebook page where the moderator is quick to respond to questions..

As for operations, once you set a mod, be sure to save it. Then hit the tab that starts P3D so that the mod you have chosen will run. Unlike PTA you cannot change mods once the sim is running. fwiw, here is my current setting

Thanks Sherm. Turns out it’s working just fine. I apparently made too many color/contrast etc. changes already on my monitor. After I reset my monitor settings, I followed you advice, and voila, envshade did its thing and it’s beautiful!

Thanks again 😎

Pete

As some of my recent posts suggest, I have been going back and forth on whether to use EA with Envshade in P3D. I am back using it with AS. I found my sweet spot by reducing saturation. But, still not much joy with the garish dawn and dusk colors, which I think is a design problem. I hope LM corrects this in its next hot fix.

I'm in exactly the same boat, I keep going back and forth. There's nothing cooler than coming out of clouds with EA on, but the independence day move like dusk and dawn colors look "a bit" overkill 😉 Hence, I'm going back and forth. However, I did want to enhance the legacy weather, and envshade appears to be doing it very well.

Cheers,

Pete

I myself use v4 and v5

v4 with envtex and tomatoshade R&D preset 

looks amazing.

v5 EA off with envtex and envshade.

v5 EA On no shader mods but needs to be improved. Once it is improved so long to v4 and mods.

cheers

I have the same issues, no matter what envshade does absolutely nothing in v5.1 with EA.  havent tried without EA.

Is there a way to reduce Aircraft Shadow Depth lower than 0.5?  That seems to make my VC brighter (ultimately what I'm trying to achieve having purchased Envshade), but I'd like to make it go even brighter without touching the rest of the scenery/environment brightness.

I have a problem where sometimes EnvShade starts and sometimes it wont! I run it as Admin and have updated it. A clean install helps but then it fails to open again after that. It's running in the task manager but the ui fails to open on the desktop!

Add me to the list of folks that cannot find a happy medium with envshade.  I’ve tried about 3-4 times w different settings, but I just can’t find a sweet spot.  The first few times my VCs were ridiculously dark-so much that I could barely read instruments.  Third time I didn’t notice a difference but when I turned it back off, things seemed to be working well without it.

Like PTA you can make changes and hit apply.

Then you te-load the shaders ( see P3D controls menu ) and you instantly see the changes .

Only for haze you need a restart of P3D.
 

 

thanks for the clarification, Salden....btw, are you publishing any EnvShade mods as you did for PTA?

No, as you can move a slider. Hit Apply . Reload shaders and see the result right away .

Hi Gerard - thanks a bunch for your help, I truly appreciate it. How and where do you reload the shaders, in Envshade or P3d? Also, could you point me to where exactly in those two I reload the shaders?

Oops, found it, just had to assign a key for it in P3d 😉 

Thanks in advance,

Pete
