no sun in ActiveSkyX ?

Postby Nelson » Tue Nov 13, 2007 7:43 am

ok I have done a few quick searches and surprisingly no matches for this issue...I thought some of you who frequent this forum may be able to 'shed some light'   ::)  on the issue.   Installed ActiveSkyX and X Graphics for FSX.   Stunned at the brilliance of the coulds and the detail of mesh and resolution with an improvement to frame rates that both have given over the same settings without these addons.

However,  after a few days of flying, I come accross a dusk flight, and I think to myself,  hmmm, I have not seen the sun now for a while.   Thats because there is no longer any sun with Active SkyX.   What do I need to do to get my sun back ?  I am thinking to uninstall the thing completely as I prefer a sunset over the hi-res ocean than the benifit of these realistic clouds.    Fly on a couldless day and the sun sets without any sun being there !!!!  :-?

Surely this has been mention before , but for the life of me I cannot locate any thread about it ?  I admit I have not gone looking very far (like at HiFi) but I hoped someone here ,may be familiar with the issue.  Quite an issue too I should think, removing the sun 8-)

thanks,
sunny. :)

I have both programs as well and have had no problems with the sun not being seen. I just finished a flight from Juno To Anchorage and the sun was behind me all of the way. It makes me wonder if there is a selection you can choose in X Graphics that does not have a sun in it? One thing for sure there are a lot of options to choose from I would suggest you go over your selected theme and make sure you did not forget or overlook anything. 8-)

I have Activesky X and I just did a long country flight and I know that I still have the sun. I even took some nice screenshots of dusk while in the Eaglesoft Columbia 400.
