Orbx night lighting & envtex

Recommended Posts

Just a quick question about Envtex & Orbx night lighting, the last time I used Envshade it totally destroyed my Orbx night lighting, I know there has been some talk about it and a remedy was in the making, I had a problem with getting the night lighting back to what it was and have now updated Envtex to the latest version but am a bit hesitate to use it again in fear of ruining the night lights again, is anyone using Envtex/Envshade since the latest version? and is the night lighting ok?

Cheers Rod

I guess no one's using Envshade 🤔

Are you on P3d v5.1 hf1?

I deactivated it and turned HDR off.

adjusted my monitor colour settings

much better. Looks more realistic.

EA off also for now until it’s Matured, Hopefully.

I still use envtex

I recently trialled the latest ENVshade with P3D v4.5 HF3 and saw no issues with it re: night lighting.

However I after trialing I opted instead for Tomatoshade (without the advanced reflection options) as TomatoShade has some quite advanced shader features that work very well.

ENVshade provides for limited and simple slider based config options, where as TomatoShade has many highlevel config and tuning options including the use of calculated values.

Also if you're worried about recovering back to prior any shader changes, just copy the "~\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ShadersHLSL" folder before applying any shaders, as that folder contains the root shaders P3D builds its shader cache with. That way you've a backup of the original shaders and you've only got to copy them back and cleanout the shader cache in "~\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Shaders" to be back to default.

And here's a thread that might be of interest.

Lastly I found Orbx night lighting to be just fine when TomotaShade is in use (as it was when ENVshade was trialled).

Have a screenshot or video of what you are seeing?

 

Known issue that Envtex doesn’t play well with the coloring of some Orbx roads it seems in V5.
