X-Plane 10: Experimenting with art controls (Raleigh scattering)

[Cai Zicheng 171]

That looks amazing. Can anyone do a tutorial as to where and how to tweak these settings?

 

Thanks,

What two threads ? damn did post in the wrong thread .

All the information you need is in the first post of this thread and the thread that it links to. If you want to save the settings into the avionics.lua file of a Carenado (if you have one) you can use this template: (these are Pascal's settings and they're bloody marvellous).

 

defineProperty("CloudShadowLightenRatio", globalPropertyf("sim/private/controls/clouds/cloud_shadow_lighten_ratio")) set(CloudShadowLightenRatio, 0.80)

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

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

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

defineProperty("AtmoScatterRaleighb", globalPropertyf("sim/private/controls/atmo/atmo/scatter_raleigh_b")) set(AtmoScatterRaleighb, 10.00)

defineProperty("AtmoScatterRaleighg", globalPropertyf("sim/private/controls/atmo/atmo/scatter_raleigh_g")) set(AtmoScatterRaleighg, 2.800)

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

defineProperty("HDRGainMin", globalPropertyf("sim/private/controls/hdr/gain_min")) set(HDRGainMin, -2.8)

Yep scotchegg, and for those of us (me) using skymaxx you can use those parameters in your avionics.lua file aswell EXCEPT CloudShadowLightenRatio,

 

so copy from defineProperty("AtmoScaleRaleigh", line and below and your good to go with raleigh tweaks  ^_^

Thanks Scotchegg, this is fantastic to see many people test these settings in different situations !

 

FYI, it is not necessary to use a Carenado plane. It's even simpler to copy-paste the default C172, add SASL inside a created "plugins" folder, and create the avionics.lua file inside the plane's folder with just the parameters exactly as you wrote them.

I added some of my latest preview X-Plane 10 Tree Lines and Farms V2 screenshots to the AVSIM screenshot folder:

A simple Fly with Lua script does the trick quite nicely.

 

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 )

Excellent tip, Tomcat!

FlyWithLua is installed in the main plugins folder, the datarefs and art controls will be applied at X-Plane's start.

Could you guys share such a script? I know FlyWithLua but haven't worked with it by now.

Any pics with this tweak for non-HDR?

Hi Tom,

atmospheric scattering doesn't work without HDR

cloud shadows works with or without HDR.

It right in the post. Just copy and paste

Wilco. Will try that tomorrow... Just thought it needs a special format besides the scripts orders...

Create a file named as you like, for example:

 

myatmospherictweaks.lua

 

inside the scripts folder of FlyWithLua.

Open it in a text editor and copy paste the code Tomcat357 suggested.

just put the whole flywithlua plugin in your  "\X-Plane 10\Resources\plugins" folder. in this flywihtlua plugin folder you have a folder named "scripts"!

 

Copy and paste tomcat´s357 setting in a notepad or notepad++ and save this file as f.e. "datarefs.lua" (you must use lua as file extension) and put this file in "\X-Plane 10\Resources\plugins\FlyWithLua\Scripts". at start you will have dataref settings, as filed, activated!
