Strange blue light on fuselage and windows

[FloB]

Is that a special effect or a bug? Where would the glowing blue light come from in the middle of the night and nowhere?

No big deal, though.

 

Thanks for answers

Flo

 

 

EDIT, it's not the fuselage but reflecting part of the props

I have this too... I assumed it was something to do with HDR and the Raleigh scattering tweaks

[Goran_M]

Can you give me more information on this?

Are the sun shades up, down or mixed?

Render settings?

Any mods done using the environmental datarefs?

Location?

Time?

Season?

As much info as possible so I can attempt to recreate it.

[ryanbatc]

Goran the best I can tell is at night (set to 2200 or something)....  

HDR on

I haven't touched the shades (those work ? cool!)

Current date

Airport doesn't matter it happens at all of them

Render settings the ones I sent you on skype a few days ago

Yes I modded the datarefs.lua with some Raleigh tweaks... these ones:

 

set( "sim/private/controls/clouds/cloud_shadow_lighten_ratio",       0.8 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/atmo_scale_raleigh",        20.0 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/inscatter_gain_mie",     2.0 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/inscatter_gain_raleigh",        13.0 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_b",         10.0 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_g",      2.80 )

set( "sim/private/controls/atmo/scatter_raleigh_r",    0.010 )

set( "sim/private/controls/skyc/white_out_in_clouds",     0.5 )

 

The best angle to see the blue is from above and slightly to the side of the fuselage... they mainly show up on the bottom of the windows.

 

p.s.  I just tested WITHOUT all those modded dataref settings and still got the blue.. here's what I see

Please test with HDR off as well. 

 

My bet is this is a rendering issue on Laminar's side in HDR mode.

[FloB]

@ ryanbatc: Same here.

If you move back and forth in time you see the color change.
At sunset it's yellow and than comes blue. The reflection is probably intended and realistic but something's wrong with the mixing of colors. Will test with HDR off.

It has nothing to do with HDR. I checked it. The blue light appears only for a couple of minutes after sunset. It's a mismatch between the real skycolor and the reflection.

Maybe Skymaxx has something to do with it - as it seems Skymaxx has a slight mismatch in time between cloud colors and skycolors/lightlevel too.

Anyway, not reason to get upset.

 

Pictures with HDR off.

 

yellow turns blue 

 

 

skycolors at the same time (blue reflections on the other side of the plane)

I don't use Skymaxx...

Fwiw I'm not complaining it really doesn't bother me I just wanted to know if the devs ever had it.

Maybe I'm carrying a bunch of aliens on board lol

Flo, let me ask you this.

In your last post in this thread, in the top picture, could that be the sun reflecting in the glass?

I've tried just about every scenario to duplicate it and couldn't get the blue, but I did get the yellow and it slowly disappeared as the sun kept going down.

Im no expert but my guess is that I think the object shininess from the look of that.

[ryanbatc]

Perhaps it's an nvidia issue?  I'm running GTX570.

Yes, I think it is sun reflection and thus stated that it is probably intended and realistic.

Question is why it is supernatural glowing blue and this even when the horizon is already pitch black for half an hour...

The blue disappears after another 30 minutes or so.

Somehow the windows picks up blue light when there is none to be seen.

On NVIDIA (GTX 760) here too.

This is an x-plane issue.  It happens somewhere else on the aircraft (but I'm not going to say where  )

We spent several weeks trying to get rid of it, but it wasn't possible and we determined it was something within the sim.

It's something you'll unfortunately have to put up with until Laminar address it.

[FloB]

OK, thanks. I haven't seen this with other aircrafts (does not mean it's not there) - so I thought it might be a saab issue.

Nevermind.

 

Have a nice day

It's got to do with the shine that is added to objects.  I added shine to the windows to make them reflect.The exterior also has it, but nowhere near as much as the glass.
