June 12, 20214 yr Please read carefully! Due some testing I´ve did, I´ve found some strange differences between the new volumetricclouds.cfg file, LM delivered with P3D V5.2, and my prior files which I´ve got during BETA testing and even had before with 5.1. 12th Jun 2021 12:00 AM (German time): As I see this, at the moment and without having a feedback from LM yet, there are some missing lines in the config. At least this COULD be the PARTLY the cause some of you are having strange looking clouds! I´ve informed LM about this and will provide you feedback as soon as I know if my assumptions are correct or not. 12th Jun 2021 01:47 PM (German time): LM has confirmed that the volumetriccloud.cfg is correct and the changes are also correct! Conclusion: Gerards changes have a positive influence on the overall look of clouds. If you give Gerard (The Autor of this file) and me (positive enough) feedback here, I will parse the file to LM and ask them politely to use this and make it "the standard". How to proceed: Download his file here: Link to Volumetricclouds.cfg by GSalden provided Head to the directory: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5 and find the file called: VolumetricClouds.CFG Rename this file in VolumetricClouds.CFG.OFF (This makes sure you don´t loose the original file) Copy and Paste GSalden file at the directory as named at 2 Delete your Shaders at: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5 Run P3D and test please (First without ASP3D or any other weather injector! Then test with ASP3D Provide screenshots and feedback in this thread please These Sceenshots I´ve made while using @GSalden his recently posted volumetriclouds.cfg and I find it really excellent work he did! I know how many hours it takes to change and tests in small incremental steps. I will do some further testing to make sure, visuals and performance are in balance (this seems to be the case with this cfg. file).
