Made an in-memory patch which requires no modification to the original game files. Just drag and drop, no replacements.

If anyone is interested here is the open-source GitHub repo: https://github.com/drunkwinter/MSFS2020.ARPC

Does this go in the 'Official' folder or in the directory with Community and Official?

What replacement values are used in MSFS2020.ARPC?

neither nor

https://github.com/drunkwinter/MSFS2020.ARPC

replacement values like before:

0.0027234
0.001831
-0.000083096

Hey Turbomax, where did you find the values?

they are in his source code. but as "we agreed" before, "we" preferred these values with less green tint: (0,00508 , 0,00318 , 0,0) copyright MortThe2nd, 😊,

best if the Drunk could provide a 2nd version for those who prefer the slightly blu-er sky.

The instructions there don't help. Where do I put these files?

I have MSFS installed here:
M:\Microsoft Flight Simulator

And in that folder there's 'Community' and 'Official'. If I'm not supposed to put it in there I have no idea where.

why not?

"The installation path may vary depending on where you obtained MSFS:"

MS Store: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.34.16.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator

And the screenshot V1ROTA7E posted seems to have the gamma increased with other filters (Reshade or Nvidia) because the values you say this is using looked better than that  here when I tested them before (not that colorful).

As edited above, I do not have the default installation path.

I am sure the Drunk will supply a 2nd version shortly, otherwise you can edit his source file and recompile with the MorThe2nd values:

https://github.com/drunkwinter/MSFS2020.ARPC/blob/main/src/dllmain.cpp

excerpt from Drunk's code using the original Biology values:

    *reinterpret_cast<float*>(pattern.get_first()) = 0.0027234f;
    *reinterpret_cast<float*>(pattern.get_first(4)) = 0.001831f;
    *reinterpret_cast<float*>(pattern.get_first(8)) = -0.000083096f;

Nah, I prefer to edit the file manually if needed than messing with the sim's memory. it just takes me 1 minute.

open the xbox app, select at the left side MSFS and then at the right pane the (third option after the green play button ....) choose manage and at the popup window choose files then browse to the folder Microsoft Flight Simulator\Content

sure. but it boils down to the same. the sim's 3 memory locations get updated with the 3 new values instead of the Flightsimulator.exe file.

the Drunq approach has the extra advantage " it prevents the patch from being overwritten or the game breaking with updates and offers a simpler installation and removal process.". but perhaps Asobo has this already in their next update anyway.
