Hi All, We are aware about this issue, we are working on this.

Hi Günter,Thanks for helping this for those who have the problems with shade addons installed, in my case, it was without any shade addons installed, early release of fsx and last summer happend twice, I think since fsx release in 2007, I got this problem about 7 time, the same result like I mention in the other thread and here in your main post with the picture, even getting back default complete fsx shade folder etc I had to reinstall fsx when it happend.

HI Dean,I know what you means lights gray with whiter, in normal way, but not exagerated with a complete bottom to upper gray clouds, in some conditon it will look bad, I was talking about this screenshots http://s18.postimage...0_47_47_189.png I got this before without shade all the time on all condition, untill I reinstalled fsx, it fixed.

This random gray clouds color can happend with or without shade, they look like both, but the second shots one more, first shots are in sunset, sunsets sets can be differents for directional lights, but if you are not using shade at all on these shots, same issue can happend without shade as I had before see below.I had this issue few time with Fsx and I never installed shade and there was not available to download as well, and with default fsx setup. The only way to fix it was complete reinstall of FSX, I tried repair fsx, without sucess, I tried to get back original fsx shade one, clear shade cache, again without any sucess, no matter what I do, the clouds was mixed with gray clouds with more whither on all clouds formation, all the time, day, dusk, dawn same gray clouds pattern, I tried to locate the problem, I tried to investigate why it can happend...The only things I found maybe what can causing this from what I did done previously before the problem appears, either registry fix software broke it, Dx get corrupted or video driver change, I did not done anything else, I had this issue in early Fsx release as well without any addons, each time when it happend needed to reinstall Fsx, I dont know if Fsx get corrupted alone with the shade or external softwaredxdrivers broke it. There is another condition that can happend, by using sky set some get darker clouds mixed, in As2012 day sky this should not happend, unless you darker by using recolor the day sky it can darker the clouds and get mixed clouds.

Christo, I noticed a screenshots with overcast thread, there was horrible dark clouds mixed with white, shade causing this? if yes, shade cause more trouble then I tought.

Hi Michael,Did you read or noticed what Damian replied? we never receive any reply yet from you since, also you are using ASE, and the dark horrible haze that you write, is related to the sky set you are using, each one will have different result on horizon, graduation and color.

Hi, There is inland blue and inland brown, both are seperated and both are used seperatly in area with Fsx, make sure you are using the correct Inland type related to the area you are fyling. You might to change Inland blue set type color.

HI, Interresting that the shade are wiped, the shade do have texture or only config? There is shade config in the fsx.cfg? because when you install clouds with as2012, it change the resolution of clouds either 2048 or 4096 depend on users, so it might erase data from shade if they are in the cfg.

HI, this is the stratus layers..you can set it to 0 slider to prevent it. the stratus layers is the flat formation in fsx.

only saturation to 85 I think.

Hi Word Not Allowed,From the screenshots look like files corrupted, missing water files, to make those grid, first time I saw this, you might install the B4387 http://forum.avsim.n...vailable-b4387 reinstall water sets and see.

Hi, As2012 do not replace shade. I have saw similar things at ground airports and hazemountain issue with shade installed from others and before as2012 was released. Also some can experiment these with windowed or full screen.

Hi Murat,check your mail.

it's about 3gb download. 16gb is before compressing to our format, then 5 gb installed.

Hi Suavi,Since your first time of As2012 install, did you tried to uninstall as2012 and reinstall before? you might do this if never done this and reinstall the latest patch.

Hi,"It only happens when I am flying this AC and only happens when I load AS2012"it might be the spotlightlanding light causing this, restore back initial backup in graphic setting, desable spotightslanding nights in install menu and see if this fix it.3rd party shader can make these issue too.

Hi, Yes like stated above, custom are used, mostly are sky, water wave and clouds are used in wx influenced, all others are random, no need snapshots since AS2012 have integrated graphics and you can save huge amount of HarDisk space without using snapshot. As exemple, having 60 snapshot of cumulus 4096 32 bit is about 6.4GB and this is without cirrus in snapshot yet, and without any external addons installed yet, compare to our complete contents about 5GB wihch normnaly should be 16GB compare to others uncompressed addonsscenery + the snapshot, you can end up to 30GB or more.

Just disable landing lightsspotlight in the install option, after go to graphics setting, click at bottom left, backup option, restore initial backup, it will restore the spotlights, after the spotlight wont be installed again, since you disabled from install option.

Hi,just search HIFI in c:, The folder should be: Initial backup

set, 11 Billowy

Hi, Well for the Th2Go users, I will made all existent halo sets compatible for Th2Go.

Well if this cause problems with some 3rd party aircraft and for the minimal change, get back the original spotlights.bmp in the initial backup folder,For Vista and 7 this is C:UsersUsernameAppDataLocalHiFi, copy spotlights.bmp to fsx texture folder, and disable in the as2012 advanced option the spotlight, others then this, as2012 don't control spotlights for any aircrafts.

Hi Erich,Nice shot, you can try, If you want more PaintedDramatic Clouds style, you can use the Recolor Function and saturate more, keep the same hue, the result will be more dramaticpainted clouds for those who like more these style, each sets are differents it might result by more darker or less darker, our existant As2012 sets are more neutral looking for all condition. These below was saturated to 100 same hue except the brown one. You can experiment with Yellowish, Brownish or others hue, as well but less saturated.

well if you turn off in as2012, the texture installed in fsx are still from the As2012, unless you put back default fsx one, it has no difference on or off in As2012 option, this is only to prevent installing texture in fsx.

In Fsx display setting or As2012 advanced option?
