I recommend making a backup of the original Flightsimulator.exe before modifying/replacing it with the modified version. Because you can not easily move/copy the original version somewhere else, I simply renamed it into _Flightsimulator.exe and only then exported through the Hex editor the modified de-crypted EXE back into the corresponding directory, where _Flightsimulator.exe is also. Now I have the original unmodified protected and renamed .EXE and the decrypted modified EXE both in the same directory.

I’m struggling to copy or paste into my folder where the exe lives (Microsoft store version via gamepass). It’s not in the Xbox folder but Windows Store folder

What values are you using in this screenshot and are you using Reshade or any other filters?

I applied the hack a second time over SU13 without any problem - windows store folder as well. I keep a copy of the original file to recover before next update.

Without reshade without MSFS.

Without any concept of residual light.

After following this thread for a while I also want to see what it brings.

But I need some help :

The encrypte EXE has been made and copied in the official Content folder after renaming the default EXE.

Can I delete the Tempstate folder with the Dunp folder in it. Or just the Dump folder ?

Another thing : when searching for 0.00065 or 0.00066 HxD cannot find those values …  Not a valid floating number ?

Only if I replace the . by a , the app finds values. In The Netherlands we use a , where in the US they use a . instead.

Could that be my issue ?

So some advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I did try to modify the encrypted EXE file. In the vid it is said to modify the EXE that was not created (so the original one )…

So some advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

make sure to use the correct decimal separator to use either the dot "." or the comma ","  and use whatever is set in your Windows control panel, (you can change that in the system settings).

Nothing better than the off switch to admire the exterior. Even if you get your hands dirty you won't get that with MSFS. The most modern simulator...

Easier just to use the js node version, does it all for you. Even created the backup.

Yes. Just use the comma, because your system uses these as the divider.

Oh, Filou….the quill you’re typing with is low on ink…

that's the problem. 26% of The Netherlands is below sea level, they can't sea the sky anyway.

https://netherlandsinsiders.com/how-much-of-the-netherlands-is-below-sea-level/

the sea level varies by about "1.5" meters between low and "1,5" meters high tide. This sea-level variation makes it difficult to calculate the percentage of The Netherlands below sea level.

It's not so much that, but their mountains that bother me.  I had to Ascend to 1000 feet once just to transit over the country.
