That removes the 'reflected' light textures on the road, but leaves the individual 3D light sources. It seems all my files are in scenery_off already. Are they supposed to be in the scenery folder instead for each ORBX sub folder? 9800x3d | 64GB DDR5 6000 Ram |MSI Gaming Trio OC 5090 @ 3.0GHZ | X870e Mag Tomahawk | 2x 2TB M.2 | Lian LI Dynamic XL ROG Case | Hotas Warthog Joystick and Throttle, Crosswind Rudder Pedals | Corsair Nightblade | K95 RGB| | LG 28" 4k, Dell 34" AW3420DW Ultrawide| Windows 10 Pro | MSFS2024 | Custom Water Loop |

Files called !Acapulco_LM.bgl, !Albuquerque_LM.bgl, !Atlanta_LM.bgl, etc. should be moved to a separate folder. Leave files called !Acapulco_LM_OBG.BGL, !Albuquerque_LM_OBG.bgl, !Atlanta_LM_OBG.bgl, etc. in situ. OpenLC Africa, Europe and South America follow the similar naming convention pattern as the regions, but files are located in OLC_AF_LIGHTS\scenery, OLC_EU_LIGHTS\scenery and OLC_SA_LIGHTS\scenery folders. No idea about Global, I'm afraid.

Nah, i only just finished reinstalling p3d after wrecking my install about 10 days back - finally got around to trying the last version of envshade in v5. It stopped single pass from working, which i now know is a well documented issue, but i couldn’t even get stereo mode to work after the envshade install. I also started to get dxgi crashes for the first time ever in v5. There’s a lot of talk about “Prepar3d v5 instability” on these forums, and i do wonder how much of it is related to shader mods.

To get rid of the shadows in that case, you need to increase the slider "Cloud shadows". A value of 1.3 is the lowest value, at which shadows are no longer visible. Here is another gif that shows the cloud shadows under overcast skies at different values (I used 30mi visibility): I got shadows although I set cloud shadows to 1.3 during extremly rainy conditions sometimes Edited March 20, 20215 yr by mobiel

Still seeing the glowing aircraft with dynamic reflections at night. Does anyone know a way around this? Can it be adjusted via ENVSHADE?

March 20, 20215 yr Was it overcast when you experienced the rainy conditions? You may still see shadows if you have a rain front ahead of you, while behind you have patches of clear sky, through which the sun shines. The overcast doesn't have to be very intense; I get a cloud shadow that obscures AC shadows even when I set a stratus overcast that is not very thick.

March 20, 20215 yr It seems that Envshade has broken PMDGs 737NGXU contrails? Cloud shadows (EA on) on the sea are too dark. But maybe this can be adjusted. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
