slai Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Thanks Tom for pointing out default-turbidity which I have now set to 1.1 (gives me just enough atmospheric haze without the grey out in the distance). The just released Real Terra Haze 1.2 (atmos and water) has the blues under control at low and high altitudes. There is even a toggle to reduce the blues even further. These 2 modifications combined have brought magic to the sky at all phases of flight and at all times of day. PS: As an aside, I have also noticed that the problem of overly blue clouds in overcast conditions with SkyMaxx has gone away as well.

Tom Knudsen Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Sounds very nice slai, since this is hosted at .org it eliminates many of the xpilot members that are banned.Curious to know if there is a way to have this package linked here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleendertz Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 great stuff just trying out the scripts, thanks for all the research... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) The Terra Haze script has a great function for displaying the settings so I've been making tweaks then disable/enable FlyWithLua plugin to immediately see the effects. The original script is geared to low level flight and I'm making tweaks for a nice transition to higher altitudes. Working really well with SkyMaxxPro. The combined atmospheric scattering effects makes the distant blurries not so bad. Edited April 12, 2014 by slai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercuryMat Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Oh this is nice. Please post the settings here! Did you re-enable also the cloud reflections? Sent from Mad iPad's Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Attached is a modified set_skys() that you can replace in any version of Real Terra Haze. The original author is open to published modifications. It applies a lighter touch that prevents oversaturation at higher altitudes. Uses simple linear transition from blue cast at high sun angles to yellow and then finally to magenta. Now need to play with the SkyMaxx settings after these modifications.

puffy Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Tom, Is this the definitive source to updates to these scripts?Amended scripts can be downloaded from our site http://xp-developer.com/index.php?/files/ Like luckyluca I receive an error message upon X-Plane startup with these scripts in place and then shortly thereafter I get the "Lua stopped" error message in the right top corner. when running your two scripts together (as downloaded from your website) I get a lua message on the top right part of the screen say lua stopped.I haven't had the time to debug it, have you encountered a similar behaviour?This is a screenshot of the error upon launch: You mentioned to luckyluca to remove a line from the 'light' script file. Should I be doing this also even though I downloaded the script files from your "amended scripts" link that you provided (above)? Will there be an updated upload to the xp-developer site that I should download instead?To fix this issue, remove this line from the light script (located on top) set( "sim/private/controls/light/random_percent=", 0.10) Thank you very much.Puffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Knudsen Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thx for reminding me, will update tomorrow and add a new feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Knudsen Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Updated files is now free to download http://xp-developer.com/index.php?/files/category/9-code/ Whats new!! Added code by AUA425(avsim.net) as optional use (fixes the moon glare reported at night)Tried to correct the reported light issue with black lights on rotating beacons.Fixed the "Fly with lua crash" when using the light tweak I will be happy if someone can try them and report if the issues are continuing or not.

Pops McDaddyo Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Skymax pro with shadowing of courseTom- I thought that cloud shadows would only work with the "stock" XP clouds or an Aerosoft replacement. FYI, I use Skymaxx Pro. I haven't had a chance to try the scripts. Just curious about the cloud shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMAXX Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Mike to be 100% clear cloud shadows will not work with SkyMAXX........Everything else involved with the FlyLUA work fine as far as I know....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hueyman Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 @ John : I have a little question, sorry if it's off topic but unsure about the necessity of creating a whole new thread : I thought I remember reading SMP clouds were affected by winds ? If it was the case, it isn't anymore or am I doing something wrong ? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!Wind is still bound to the cloud layers........if you are manually setting up a wind layer make sure it is within the cloud layer to see them move and morph...... i.e. make sure the wind is at the appropriate altitude.......

Carlos Garcia Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Jhon, talking about moving winds and layers... Can I make a Tornado ? (Its not a joke) at least the visual part (Using dark Clouds). Im trying using SASL(LUA) ..

Im trying using SASL(LUA) .. Carlos Honestly no, not with the winds in X-Plane anyway. Wind is simulated in only one direction per layer, and turbulence is a random algorithm. To make tornados happen you would need to program a custom solution. One approach would be to have a custom "tornado" object which appears under certain weather conditions in random.... In order to simulate them realistically you will need a super computer with the latest weather simulation, even then it still might be difficult..... The first approach ,with the right programming, could look very convincing....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Garcia Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks for your kind answer Jhon, I will try with the custom objet. At least I want something flying in circles... Carlos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puffy Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Tom, I just made time to download your new scripts. I have a question. Do I install both "raleigh_tweak1.lua" and "raleigh_tweak2.lua" at the same time or do I choose one or the other? The "readme" file isn't clear about that, to me anyway:"5. Copy the included file (releigh_tweak1.lua) to /Resource/plugin/FlywithLua/Script6. [Optinal] Copy the included file (releigh_tweak2.lua) to /Resource/plugin/FlywithLua/Script//Fixes the glare at night issue"Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Knudsen Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Copy both or just nr1. Nr2 is optional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
