P3Dv6 patch 3 Effect by DAWN and DUSK

[mpni]

Hi
This effect works in P3Dv5 (all versions) in DUSK, NIGHT and DAWN situations.
But, it doesn't work in P3Dv6 patch3.
By adding "Intensity Day" and "Intensity Night" in the "ParticleAttributes" section, it works now in v6 but only by NIGHT.
In DUSK and DOWN situation it doesn't works.
What modifications I have to do for having it working by DUSK and DOWN situation?
Regards
Michel

I tried with Intensity Day=100.00 with no result.

SOLVED with:
"Intensity Day=50000.00"
I had a look at fx_c130_taxi.fx for having the day intensity
"Intensity Day=10000000.00"
It seems to me that:
- in v5 DAWN and DUSK are considered as NIGHT
- in v6 DAWN and DUSK are considered as DAY

Thanks for posting and sharing. Could you confirm where this file is please?

Hi agfreeman
This file is in the default effects folder of P3D.

FOund the files, thanks. I'll have a play with the other aircraft that are causing me problems.

It seems to me that:
- in v5 DAWN and DUSK are considered as NIGHT
- in v6 DAWN and DUSK are considered as DAY

I think you've hit the nail on the head here, completely. It makes a lot of sense as everything kicks in suddenly at nightfall, or out suddenly at dawn, when it shouldn't.

Just wanted to say thanks! I've sorted my dusk cockpit lighting out finally! I can see my ccckpit at dusk and dawn now!
