P3D 5.2 sky gradient

Post by bjhjeong01 »

Hello, I'm using P3DV5.2 and EA mode is activated, it shows an unnatural sky gradation as shown in the attached photo. However, if EA mode is disabled, there is no such phenomenon, but is there any way to get rid of that unnatural gradation phenomenon when EA mode is activated?

Hi...cannot see your image. Many of us use Imgur to post images...there is a post around here somewhere explaining how to do it.

@ bjhjeong01 ,

I have not noticed a problem.

Are you using any weather programs?

You might want to look at https://www.rdpresets.com/rdshade.html which was just released a day or two ago. Appears to be a more advanced version of PTA (different author). Works for v4 and v5.
