arb65912 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Looks awsome, but try and set FL350 on a bright and shiny day. That is something I am working on now, not sure which is what yet. Thanks Tom, YOU did it with Maxx guys. I will try maybe . It is kind of additcive, I was adjusting the components for over an hour and could not decide what would be the best. I guess it might actually vary depending on where one flies.At least I have a solid base to enjoy the X-Plane environment now.The magic TRIO works perfect for me.

deetee Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Wonderful!So do you guys prefer using the regular clouds with shadowing, or SMPro without shadowing? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroPictor Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 SkyMaxx Pro without shadowing. Could you tell us the settings you used for the screenshots especially in SkyMaxx Pro and Maxx XP? Did you change the settings of the LUA scripts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arb65912 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Could you tell us the settings you used for the screenshots especially in SkyMaxx Pro and Maxx XP? Did you change the settings of the LUA scripts? I think it was a question for me. Skymax Pro I used all sliders in the middle and from pull down menu Special/Show Sky Colors, I believe I used mount: ( for mountains I guess) Maxx XP, I do not remember, I was playing with so many settings that I just do not remember this particular one but it was a POwer User Option. I used the latest scripts from Tom's links, did not changed anything. I am sure you will also like the video below. Enjoy!

AeroPictor Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Yes indeed very nice video, which part of the world is that? Colorado?… Thank you very much for the informations about the settings… Edited March 27, 2014 by kickremi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arb65912 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I do not want to mislead you but I think that the first part is Alaska and the second one is Alps somewhere in Europe. Mountains will look pretty much the same as in the video regardless of what part of the world you are, I am sure Colorado will look great also.

arb65912 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Do you have to have hdr enabled for this to work? I remember Tom replying to the same question, the answer was , if remember correctly, "no" BUT you will not get it to look as shown in the video and Tom's and other guy's screenshots. Cameron, I am sorry to give the different answer but I am sure that was what Tom said some time in the past. Cheers, AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Garcia Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Anything to do with raleigh and atmospheric scattering requires HDR, AJ. Can we non HDR Users have a way to improve the Atmosphere visual quality ? I have a very old Pc (I cant buy a new one right now) and cant use HDR (Windows 7 32 bits, 4 Gb Ram, Intel dual Core 2.1 Ghz, Radeon 5750 HD) Thanks Carlos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Can we non HDR Users have a way to improve the Atmosphere visual quality ? Not to the level seen in screenshots, no. Atmospheric scattering takes some special rendering tricks to achieve, and thus is only available with HDR. The next best thing for you would be limited to sky colors that trick the eye, or even some kind of a plugin not currently available to alter things on the horizon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domfliss Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Wonderful, it works really well. One of the things I love about FlightGear are the numerous atmospheric lighting effects it incorporates, so it's nice to see them in X-Plane!! Fantastic!! Many thanks Dom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
