Full Compatibility with Terra Haze

[flydav]

I'm sure you guys heard about using flywithlua to simulate better atmosphere, clouds, shadows, ocean etc. I was wondering if there is any plan to have SMP fully compatible with this fantastic add-on http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=22387

 

The only thing that is missing are the clouds shadows on the ground, obviously because SMP has its own clouds, but since you already managed to have perfect reflections on the water maybe you can do again another... miracle and have clouds casting shadows on the ground via the above add-on, thanks for your consideration

Right now we are not going to be able to implement cloud shadows and I don't see it happening in the foreseeable future,  this has to do with X-Plane since the SilverLining SDK has the ability to cast cloud shadows we just don't have the access to implement it......

Thanks John

Oh I see Tom I totally missed the whole thing...but that doesn't answer my question does it? I read the whole thread and got a bit lost on the number of tweaks and updates to the tweaks.

Also I don't understand why you're using SMP with all the clouds and other stuff at zero,instead of totally unistalling it...arent you using aerosoft clouds?  it would be great if you could recap somehow all the tweaks to the lua files since I don't understand which ones are the latest.

Thanks a lot!

SMP is still working with my settings, only more efficient and way more suited for me. I get the shadows on ground, the god rays and sky color.

When it comes to clouds it does do a huge difference, I just choose to operate at the lowest settings for performance. Think the cloud system can be worked at

but that must be up to the makes. I have the option to adjust the cloud draw distance when ever I choos to do it, for testing purpose I have all at the lowest setting and that seems to

working just fine for now.

 

PS..

 

Levers at zero does not equal off, just think of it as very low rather than 0

Thanks a lot Tom so in order to get shadows on the ground you must be using other clouds and not those from Skymaxx right?

SkyMaxx Pro version 1.3 introduces clouds, cudos to John
