That is all I did.  I hope it works for you.  Let us know how you get on!  

Okay... Lord have mercy....

Does this effect the Day time Sky colour or just dusk and dawn, as I cant really tell in the daytime.

Thanks in advance.

I couldn't see any significant difference during normal daytime.

I am glad it worked for you. 
I am looking forward to when he gets his config file going so that we can adjust the numbers to our personal preference.

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.

As requested v1.1.0 features an .ini configuration file, along with an in-game on/off toggle option for comparisons.

Hey everyone, drunk has now given us the ini config to edit the values!

It's available for download at the github link.  The one yhat is listed on about page 36 I think.

Thank You again drunk.

Best,

David

My god!  You can even toggle the values on and off inside the sim with a hotkey - Amazing work!

Thanks once again to @Drunq, and of course @Biology for starting this off.

Great work, Drunq. I'm going to give Alvega's numbers a try. I thought the green hue along the horizon (although better than the original game settings) made the scene look a little cartoonish. It was almost too colourful, almost as if Pixar had worked on the game.

I take it if I’ve all ready edited the .exe, I can just dump the backup copy back in, remove the edited one and then use this new script?

Correct, then if you edit MSFS.ARPC.ini file as below (in bold), you can use CTRL+INS to toggle the mod and verify that it actually works.

I use CTRL because INS alone is for drone view toggle.

[COEFFICIENTS]
RED = 0.002723
GREEN = 0.001831
BLUE = -0.000083096

[TOGGLE]
ENABLED = true
; See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes for all the key codes
; Default: INSERT
KEY_CODE = 0x2D
HOLD_ALT = false
HOLD_CTRL = true
HOLD_SHIFT = false

Still struggling to even find a way to modify permissions to paste files into my WindowsApps\MSFS\ folder. Anyone found a solution? Definitely going to buy MSFS 24 on steam, what a pain the MS store/Gamepass version is. I'm fairly technical but this has me stumped

i use a little program called "take ownership pro" to deal with all the permissions and folders ownership give it a try
