No clouds... Then Clouds

FSX including FSX Steam version.

No clouds... Then Clouds

Postby Brett Hill 2 » Mon May 04, 2009 6:36 pm

I saw a thread on these forums a while ago which told you a way to fix the way that clouds come into view with your FSX (making clouds gradually come into view rather than a sudden appearance). Since fixing this I have recently done a reinstall of fsx and now I can't find the same thread giving instructions on fixing this, Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some help in doing this?

Thanks

Ok, got it all but one Q;

There's two "True"s ....after the NewMaterialUsage......do I leave the fist false as is , or change the second to false as well...or....change the second only to false.....

Here's my file after the first was changed:[glow=yellow,2,300][/glow]

I have that second 'True' there too, I have just changed the 'true' to 'false' as stated and left that other 'true' as 'true' considering it is on the next line... it seemed to work for me ;)

Must be some kind of typo in the version of FSX you are using

Just remove the 2nd one as it does not belong there

It wont do anything because it is located after > but it does not belong there either

Thanks Nick, as always!

It's rather funny, there's what appears to be notes to the programmer or someone,  about what may be an issue in the "code"..throughout the file.....

Does this mess anything up if I am using REX?

I actually haven't noticed this when I go to FSX via REX. I will apply this and see how it looks!
