About This File
DOTUNE 2 (2.0.0) - an X-Plane Reshade preset.
by 8x7u8y, via x-plane.org.

A. Compatibility.
X-Plane 11/12 (Only tested on 11.55).
--
B. Installation.
1. Download and install Reshade: ( https://reshade.me/ ).
2. Copy reshade-shaders, and all the .ini files from Presets to your X-Plane folder.
3. When installing Reshade, select X-Plane.exe and you can either download all available effects (recommended) or just insert one of the .ini files for the required ones.
4. Start X-Plane. Then switch to one of those .ini files in the Reshade panel (which pops up once when you launch the game).
5. Usage [IMPORTANT!]:
- There are 4 variants. All placed in the Presets folder. DOTUNE2_A is the standard preset.
- DOTUNE2_A contains all required effects, whilst DOTUNE2_Ab does not include Xenon Bloom. Switch to DOTUNE2_Ab if the in-game menus and UIs look too bright to you. The graphics might be a bit less convincing if you do so.
- There are 2 more variants which is labelled "noMotionBlur". Switch to one of them if you're uncomfortable with the certain effect. Disabling Motion Blur may help increase FPS in some ways.

C. Limitation.
1. Tested on OpenGL only. Not quite sure if it works on Vulkan or any rendering option.
2. I am not responsible for any system issue you are facing when applying this preset. It's supposed to be used on high-end machines.

2. You shall not monetize on DOTUNE 2. Any commercial act, such as: selling the preset, or selling your modification on it, is prohibited.

ASHA by Alreiber ( https://forums.x-plane.org/files/file/64093-asha-advanced-shadows-and-appearance/ )
And others.
-> Note: those are bitmaps and scenery modifications, which haven't altered DOTUNE's visual quality.
2. My setups: Combining Cloud Art's skycolor and Vivid Sky's clouds (in Resource/bitmaps/). This is entirely optional, just to make the skybox look much better.
