Mustang Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Hello Mustang, Still me with my eternal questions, if it's possible can you tell me the thickness of your maximum clouds altitude ? No problem :) i believe i used max thickness in some of those screenshots, although i'm not entirely sure if it makes a difference. BTW i have uploaded a new version (again!) i have had to reduce the horizon brightness by a fraction, it looked lovely but during the sunniest times of the day the brightness was just a little too much.

Strider21 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I am looking for any advice. I have PeterP's SweetFx and Mustang's Shaders Mod installed. With a high sun, especially around noon, the upper surfaces of aircraft are really washed out. Any advice on how to reduce the glare from the sun. I have HDR off. First image shows the washed out effect. Second image is same time of day but the aircraft at 90 degrees AOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First image shows the washed out effect. Second image is same time of day but the aircraft at 90 degrees AOB. The glare of objects is nothing to do with my modifications, even with stock DCS shaders all objects seem to have a strong light bloom with full sunshine - i will see if this can be altered. Also check the latest 5.16 version i uploaded this evening, this has even more alterations to sky luminance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docfu Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Odd question but is there any way to adjust the ocean waves to simulate blasts of wind across the surface? It seems like now the wave height/length settings for all water is uniform for all missions when realistically it should be different for strong winds/rough seas and no wind/calm seas... P.S. Willing to purchase additional 3-4 computers to have the CPU power to do this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it and see, i think you might be pleasantly surprised by the adjusted clouds Hello Mustang, There's few minutes I've tested your "Clouds & Sky complete v5.16 simplified clouds" but with the same settings I found that the quantity of clouds is not the same. With your "Normal v5.16" I think that we have many clouds, but with the "Simplified 5.16" the quantity of clouds is more low, is it the function of this new Mod version ? Please can you explain to me if this new version simplified you have changed the number or quantity clouds ? EDIT: :music_whistling: This morning I've flying with my Huey, Mi-8 and A-10C and for me I prefer the "Normal v5.16", the density of the clouds is very better :thumbup: Thanks again, Skull.

The other version should not have reduced numbers of clouds, all i have done is reduce the amounts of particles each cloud has resulting in a less dense model - i actually prefer this version personally and it gives users more choices, i'm glad you're enjoying the main version too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skulleader Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hello dear Mustang ;) The other version should not have reduced numbers of cloudsSo if I want the same numbers of clouds than your main version 5.16 I must change the value in the mission editor ? By exemple with the screenshots that I've published the density is 8/10, with your new version 5.16 I must change this value for 9/10 for the same result than 8/10 ? all i have done is reduce the amounts of particles each cloud has resulting in a less dense modelIs it possible to have one low amount of particles but in visual to have more clouds ? In fact the thing who disturb me is the low number of clouds with you new version because, now with you new Mod 5.16 the density 8/10 is not the same than 8/10 of your first version 5.16. i actually prefer this version personally and it gives users more choices Please do you explain to me why you prefer this new version ? Is it one question of FPS ? I've tested this new Mods but it's not easy to see the difference (just the number of clouds)... For finish, if I well understand this new version is just for have more FPS ? In the future do you think that your Mod will be like the first 5.16 or the new 5.16 ? Thanks again and I hope with a lot of impatient your news...

POLARIS1 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Skull, I will try to help: 1. Mustang tries to make the sky look natural. 2. Clouds, in the DCS sky, can look more natural if you add to each one more paint (particles). 3. But...when you add more paint to each cloud your FPS goes down (more paint=more data=more difficult for the computer and for the software). 4. Mustang thinks that he might have added too much paint to the clouds which made them too heavy for the computer. 5. Mustang made another 5.16 version for us to test and see which one we prefer, either visually or FPS wise. 6. The way that Mustang is going is slowly slowly changing parameter by parameter to see action and effect until he makes us a beautiful scenery as close to true life as possible with the current engine. So...download it, try it, see if you prefer it or not...write down your impressions and wait, like me, for the next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marioshata Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hey Skull, here are some comparison screenshots for you and others. First is original, second is simplified version. Mustang thanks for your work man! You're my DCS Guru. More here! I personally prefer the original version as it looks more realistic to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
