Concorde is an aircraft I fly a lot. Its maximum altitude is 60,000ft. At that altitude the sky is virtually black according to the flight crews and lucky passengers.

Attached is a screenshot of FS Labs Concorde around 57,000ft. in P3D v5.3HF2. Does anyone know of any tweaks to further darken the skies? I'm using ASP3D with ASCA but stick with the recommended Global Automatic setting.

It is something I have noticed with EA. I used to fly with EA off to improve performance before I changed GPUs - with the legacy skies iirc it would get darker more like it should. I expect the skies in EA aren't really designed to take account of this and so you don't get the same effect.

I'm not sure if there's a way to modify the EA skies to get the darkening effect at high altitudes? Would be the best of both worlds if that were possible.

Thanks Simeon. Until I bought the 4090 EA was off but there’s no doubt it does improve aircraft visuals. I’m hoping some genius knows of a tweak that can adjust it.

@Damian Clark , as the AS main man any thoughts?

I found this old screenshot I took in FSX many years ago which seems a good example of what the skies would look like at around Concorde altitude with the legacy skies - it would be noticeably darker than at lower altitudes.

Thanks. I’ll see it better when it’s dark.
