I wonder why REX is allowed to do such in-depth changes to the core sim while other devs, namely those of AutoFPS and Map Enhancement, are basically a no-go zone and also you are not allowed to mention them in the official forums. I thought it is because they manipulate the MSFS code directly, so REX is not doing so?

There's a pretty good chance Atmos will be banned from the forum as-well. It's pretty much memory injection.

To me it is ridiculous they ban such things, when in my opinion, these techniques can clearly make the sim better.

There is no reshade or filters in these shots of mine, just changing default values by editing the memory.

 

I think it looks so much more realistic, why they don't allow the discussion and then they can see what values look better and then use them in the some rather then the poor quality default ones.

You might wanna read the terms & conditions (that no one reads!), whilst I fully agree these apps do everything to aid us, at the end of the day they are hacks into the very exe that is protected, therefore "illegal" and essentially banned.

Microsoft could, if they wanted, take REX to court over such a thing especially as they will be charging for it. But they won't of course, thankfully.

Ahh these photos are from changes I have made, nothing to do with REX. 
 

It would be ludicrous to take me to court for working out something that makes the game look better which the developers could then use.

I was speaking generally not directly at your own personal usage, of course we know from a previous "hack" to the atmospherics that Asobo took note and added that to the Sim which proves they're just fine them, even if they to go against the T&C's.

Any chance you can elaborate on this? Is this still just using the old ARPC sky mod?

No Custom ARPC.

Just using Cheat Engine.

I hope this releases SOOOOON!!!!

@everyone

REX Atmos enhances skies and ground, refining terrain bias and tree tones. The after shot shows the result of the saved preset "Experimental Toned Sky and Green Terrain." A Terrain Lighting option will also be included, though still in the experimental stage.

Available soon!

That looks extremely nice

but that's not what this add-on appears to be doing

Yes I'm aware of that, but Asobo not only borked the clouds, they also messed with the lighting, and that is what I was referring to. But yeah, very interested in learning more about what this program will do.

(Tinfoil hat on)
So, Asobo knew 2020 is capable of looking much better, but quickly realized they could use this as a major selling point for the sequel game, and even went as far as to make changes to make 2020 look worse than it used to. All to make their improvements for 2024 look much better with its "new" lighting engine powered by tech that was perfectly possible to implement into 2020s lighting engine.

New pic:

OK, I'm sold (AccuSeason user BTW).

Doubt I'll be a day 0 MSFS 2024 adopter anyways (unless there's a limited time crazy good discount for 2020 owners).

Was initially misled by the Atmos name, thought it was sound enhancement, ala Dolby Atmos.

Yeah no. They weren't even considering a 2024 back then.
