Hehe, patrikmore, you are deep into FU3

Hi, Daniel. Hope you are well. It is good to see you here again. I don't think you are the last one to fly FU3 😀. I keep flying in FU3 skies, almost once weekly, even though I don't drop in here often. And guess what? I keep loving it!

And welcome to FU3 skies, springer5 😀 It is amazing that after 20+ years this sim keeps giving joy. Don't forget to experiment with the true gem of the sim, the weather! There is a recent post on the forum wherein I mentioned a link to a document by Peter James (one of the sim designers), detailing the weather workings.

We are lucky to still have this article around. Hope you find it interesting. http://alfozavr.wikidot.com/fu3-hints-tips

Hi. I still get as much enjoyment flying FU3 as MSFS 2020. Especially when I want to experiment with the weather. Just recently I re-read an insightful article by Peter James about the settings and the weather. I will post it on the forum.

I have re-installed FU3 after my laptop's reformat. I am using dgVoodoo latest version 2.76. It is great for applying AA and AF. It also allows different resolutions. I also use Reshade latest version 4.9.1 for color adjustment and such (not necessary really to run FU3). Both work beautifully for me. I cannot find Hennie's rain sound in avsim library. Anyone still has that?

Why use ContrastAdaptiveSharpen and LumaSharpen together? With Dgvoodoo2 AA, that is 3 antialias.

For FU3, Anisotropic 4x is enough as I couldn't see any texture improvement in the distance with 16x. I don't use Bilinear blit stretch Apply Phong shading

I am not experiencing this. Maybe it is one of the filters? I am using these 4 filters and they are great: Deband Pirate_Bloom DELC_Sharpen Pirate_Vibrance

Hi. On the contrary. I myself like to see attempts to keep improving on the sim. Right now I have a perfectly running FU3. I kept all settings on dgvoodoo2 on default except AA and AF.

I hope I am posting the image properly. FU3 weather is fascinating and can be generated any which way you want. I like the cold fronts more as the warm fronts usually have a low ceiling and require that you fly at 1000 ft or less to have some visibility. https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArUCpDk7pPaAkTWIyA9QRjC91zWc

Patrikmore, the UsePuffCloudModels is much better on. Without it, the big cumulus clouds have an unrealistic flat bottom

Thank you, Ansgar. I will dig into it, as I love tweaking my skies hehe... I wonder what the differences are between this and Laurie's.

Ah, thank you, Patrikmore. I will compare it with what I have.

Much better in my opinion!!
