RTH RealTerraHaze Ceased Functionality

[Colin S]

Sadly, I can't provide any information beyond observational stuff (no log files since nothing is really going wrong). Here's what is happening:

RTH is only changing lighting levels, not colours. Essentially, I can crank the red through the roof (like 50.0) and nothing will change about the horizon (yes, it's set to RTH Atmosphere). It's the first time I've ever noticed this, it may have been happening further back but I never noticed. I was trying to make an artsy screenshot and realized that the mountains in the distance weren't blue. And I couldn't make them blue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled RTH and FlyWithLUA without even including custom preference files or any other scripts. All controls do not work except the water and light controls. That is all that works. This isn't a "whine until someone solves it for you" post (okay, I guess it kind of is) I'm more looking for other people who have had the same issue, and I'm wondering if art controls have changed with the last update. 

Here are three shots of FlyWithLUA RTH. The first is default X-Plane atmosphere. The second is the default setting one in RTH. The last is with the reds cranked to a ridiculous level (theoretically) but as you can see nothing has happened.

Anyways, as I said before, I've done a clean (totally) install of RTH and FlyWithLUA from the bottom up with the latest updates. Ideas for where to go next?

Ben Supnik has repeatedly said that the art controls are most likely going to change over time and that they will not be announcing changes or offering support in this regard.  RTH will always be susceptible to these changes.  Relying on the art controls is not a wise thing to do.

And that would be why I clearly stated that I had read Ben's thing about it. To quote him, "Art controls are an active volcano." I just wanted to see if others had either 1. experienced this so I know it's not something I've screwed up, or 2. found a workaround.

Also, Ben Russell if you're going to down-vote a post at least be a grumpy person out in the open and take the time to explain why. It is useless to just dislike it. Dislike it for a reason.

Colin, 

I do not see any reference in your original post about reading Ben's "thing".

Sorry about that, I realize I mind-referenced it in the sentence regarding if art controls might have changed in the last update. My apologies, that was dumb on my part. Sorry about that

Oh I'm sorry, did I piss you off by leaving out critical information?

Annoying isn't it.

Let me know what you need, Ben. I have included every relevant piece of information of which I am aware. 

[Ben Russell]

The same thing I always have to tell you to include Colin. Version numbers. Every thread you do this. Every single one.

It hasn't changed since last time I checked. 4.0b1. Everything is the latest version.
