Weird Sky mist with EA + Rex Sky Force weather

Featured Replies

Hello!

P3DV5.2 is definitely a step forward, but I noticed a strange and excessive Mist with EA and Rex Sky Force 3D weather injection, also different sky colors, I'm not sure what is causing since I made a full reinstall.

Here, you can see the difference:

Ho could I solve that?

Are you sure that's EA? It looks like the standard cloud textures to me. The "mist" might just be fog, or you might have setup SF3D to inject custom sky textures as well.

@arwasairl Thanks for the reply, in this exact case visibility was 9999 with EA and Rex clouds, here are the settings: https://imgur.com/DBh60IV 

I'm not sure if there is an option to deactivate rex sky force sky textures or if it's automatic when EA is enabled, but it's something definitely wrong, just because sky gets back to normal as soon as I turn off Rex Weather injection.

It seems that SF3D only injects cloud models (not sky textures). Have you tried using a different weather engine? (P3DWX, ActiveSky)?

Before Rex I was using P3DWX and never had a similar problem

This could be a REX issue, but I honestly don't really care for their weather engine all that much (their textures are great, I've never used their engine though).

You can try to get support, but I definitely recommend looking into other weather engines like ActiveSky.

Yeah I was a bit tired in the head.

I DID try out the engine before i got ActiveSky, and it was alright but when I got AS it certainly felt better than REX, I'm not sure if it's placebo, but that's the impression I got.
