Light Bloom?

i believe that would be "light bloom" cause it is in the same spot as the english version and with light bloom on in FSX for some reason it will white out the ac in the menu...i had that happen to me a few months back.

I like the octagon flair

Everyones taste is different   I prefer the round one and I made changes to the uploads at the add-on sites to replace the package with the lens flair texture.. if you dont like round, just dont install: flair3.bmp


hey alrot, run that new sun at about 10-15 minutes past dawn or about an hour before sunset.  You are seeing the high altitude mid-morn/afternoon response. Weather, time of day and altitude will create a real variety of changes. If you use any sky texture add-ons like FEX, the effect is amplified based on the texture being used.



LOL


Yes, you are correct, hex       you see double when you get to my age    

yes sir

and if you drop your altitude into the haze line you should get a nice bloom even without bloom enabled  

The first 3 and last 3 hours of the day below 10k ft will produce some very dynamic results


It responds dynamically to the amount of haze and weather the light passes through. As you decrease and the sun is on the horizon, the simulated bloom comes out as the light bounces off the haze

All you have done by screwing with the suneffect.cfg is increased the corona center and in doing so left a huge blue gap between the sun and the corona, and, rendered the bloom option worthless because it will wipe out the screen. On top of that, the 'rays' look like a geometric starburst instead of a natural sun glow, and, if you zoom back far enough the expanded 'glow' shows 'rings' which become obvious in the sky.


I understand the reasoning behind what you are posting, but it does not work because the textures must be altered to compensate for the config file edits. The idea is to have it work for everyone, bloom on or off.

no version 1.1 needed

Excellent work.  Thank you Nick for this gift.  Also, thank you for all of your tweaks (windows xp and fsx).  I've followed your advice on this forum and have essentially doubled my fps, which meant the difference between hoping to enjoy fsx and enjoying fsx.
