I just happened to test them after testing the others and thought they were better, so I recommended them here. I tried this quickly yesterday (didn't have much time) and didn't seem to work, didn't notice any difference. Will have to give it another go just to make sure. 😉 Ah yes - sorry to MortThe2nd. Credit goes to him for coming up with them, and you for publicising them. As for the text file, that's a shame. Maybe it just reads the parameters on first loading and then stores them in memory somewhere to swap with the originals when toggled, rather than re-reading the text config file again every time we toggle. No big issue anyway. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

Would be a great idea, with all the information consolidated in the OP, with every method clearly outlined. When you reach this point in a thread, it just devolves into people asking the same thing and solutions posted a bit all over the place.

October 10, 20232 yr This doesn't seem to be working for me, I see no difference in the sky colors and the toggle key does nothing either. I am able to drop the files in the proper folder without getting any error messages about administrator rights, but nothing is happening. Not sure why it doesn't work for me, I'll try to investigate further later. Ken

October 10, 20232 yr I created a new discussion, but it was moved straight away to 'tips and tricks' and locked! That kind of defeated the purpose of what I was trying to do (publicise and collate), but the moderator doing it probably didn't understand what I was trying to do; we needed further discussions and the ability to answer questions in that thread - but never mind!

Yes, and also tried using a different key. It's possible the change is working in the sim and only the toggle key function isn't working with my keyboard, but without the toggle working I can't be sure if the color changes are working or not.

Well, you still can do like everyone else was doing,, enter the sim, take a screenshot, exit the sim, change values, enter the sim, take screenshot and compare 😄

It ought to be working, but the toggle is doing nothing so I'm at a loss as to why at this point. My keyboard mapping perhaps? Don't know at this point... Ken

Yes, it isn't hurting anything, so we might as well have our fun ahead of time! It works well! @BaronKen I had to use exactly the same setup as Alvega. I have mine set up to hold the left control key before pressing the insert key and it works fine, otherwise, as some have said, it might clash with the drone camera key binding.
