Very beautiful Tom. How it will work with SMP?  Cheers, AJ

[P3R]

Very nice indeed

 

I have downloaded flywithlua and put it in my pluginsfolder but how do i get your script to work?

 

It only works with HDR on right?...i think i got it working by copying the script and put .lua as file ending then putting it in the scripts folder?

Very beautiful Tom. How it will work with SMP? Cheers, AJ

As shown in pics, very well

[arb65912]

Great news, now the same question, how one incorporates these settings without too much hassle?    Cheers, AJ 

[Tom Knudsen]

1. Download the Fly with Lua script

2. Unzip and place the folder into your plugin folder as described in the readme

3. Make sure you have xsquawkbox installed

4. Delete all .lua scripts in the /Resource/plugin/FlywithLua/Script folder

5. Open Notepad and paste in the code

 

set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/cloud_shadow_lighten_ratio", 0.85 )
set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/atmo_scale_raleigh", 20.0 )
set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/inscatter_gain_mie", 5.0 )
set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/inscatter_gain_raleigh", 10.0 )
set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_b", 40 )
set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_g", 10.30 )
set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_r", 0.010 )
set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/white_out_in_clouds", 0.5 )
set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/plot_radius", 1.20 )
set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/soft_occlude", 1.00 )
set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/mie_scattering_foggy", 25.000 )
set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/mie_scattering_ocast", 7.00 )
set( "sim/private/controls/lights/bloom_far", 3000.00 )
set( "sim/private/controls/lights/bloom_near", 120.00 )
set( "sim/private/controls/lights/mix_big", 80.000 )
set( "sim/private/controls/lights/mix_small", 25.00)
set( "sim/private/controls/lights/bloom_for_zoom", 0.60)
set( "sim/private/controls/hdr/gain_min", -4.8)
set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/ambient_gain", 4.0)

 

6. Make sure you save the file as "save all not text" and lable the extention with .lua

 

i.e  scattering.lua or test.lua

 

7. make sure this file is then put into the /Resource/plugin/FlywithLua/Script folder

 

8. Start X-Plane and Enjoy it

Hi Tom, nice tweak, also because it's automatically loaded at startup. I tried but I found the overall appearance really blueish...and somewere not really nice. Can you explain how to tweak that? I use HDR.

Thanks a lot

[Tom Knudsen]

The tweak is not mine, so no credit to me

Wow - I had to look at those pictures twice as I thought they were real photo's at first.

 

Absolutely lovely

[Tom Knudsen]

Finally rocking some awsome lights. Tidy up the code right now for sharing, but here is some screens

 

Dusk over ENBO

 

Night at the same location

Mat, did you try without HDR?  I like Tom's screenshots but want to make sure I do not mess things up.

 

Maybe I wait till Tom optimize for sharing the LUA settings.

 

Tom, does it have to be run with HDR on?

 

Cheers, AJ 

[Tom Knudsen]

Well it should improve default light, but after starting to use Michel's athmospheric scattering tweak with HDR and Johns SkyMaxx Pro

I would never turn back that road, af far as I can see, just minor impact on FPS, but then my SMP is personally tweaked to my liking.

So to answer your question, yes but it is better and more suited with HDR on (kinda funny because i used to hate the HDR feature LOL)

[Tom Knudsen]

Here is two for testing, please report back to this thread or xp-developer.com

 

Place them into the FlyWithLua/Script folder

 

art_test.lua = Athmospheric Scattering by Michel T minus the light entry

 

light_test.lua = All my light entry with personally tweak.

 

PS..

Besides those two, my script folder is emtpy, SkyMaxx Pro is installed (settings included)

 

Upload failed due to restrictions, so here is the code...

Thank you. I will try in about 8 hours time after I've finished work.

Hi Tom (excuse my english) I have a question. 

You've written two scripts: Art and Light.

 

The "Light" scripts have the codes of the new "white lights", but do not have the codes "Mie scattering". 

 

The "Art" scripts have the codes "Mie scattering", but do not have the codes of the new "white lights." 

 

I'm confused.

What code to use? 

 

But above all, you can have the effects of both codes?

I have to make a code mix of both?

 

Thank you for your help. 

[Tom Knudsen]

Use both, then download Aerosoft Free Sky Texture and install the white light included there and it should look something like this (at least if you can match all the settings)

 

[mb339]

I do not understand. I have to copy 2 codes inside XP scrips folder?

Or a single code? 

 

I have a suspicion about some strings. 

Observe the strings marked in red color.

 

ART

Red or blue?

 

If I make a single "both mix" code, is this correct?

If yes, with that name I save this code? 

ART.lua?

This code is correct?

[arb65912]

Tom, I honestly love the results you achieved BUT I will wait till John and the SkyMaxx Pro gang will add all these things so it is more average user friendly.

 

Copying , pasting and creating all these scripts files is way to much for an average user.

 

Do not take me wrong, I DO love the look and I believe it can be incorporated in the new MAX-FX which I will probably get tomorrow anyway...

 

Cheers, AJ

[JohnMAXX]

Probably won't happen AJ messing with art controls is taboo....

Updates would break any changes made...

It would have to come from LR..

[arb65912]

OK John, no problem. Thanks for the info. Understood. In this case MAX-FX will have to do the trick.    Cheers, AJ  

 

Getting it tomorrow morning.

[JohnMAXX]

Shhhhhh....the wife might hear u

[arb65912]

Shhhhhh....the wife might hear u

 

John, I know you are going to believe me .... I was about to say at the end of my reply ..." wife does not know.."   Seriously.

 

Do you have a part time job as mind reader??!!

 

Tomorrow is coming soon.

 

Cheers, AJ
