Jack Sawyer Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I think the sky looks more natural "nitrogen blue" with PTA mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boetie Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Most WITH PTA in my opinion Mike. A bit more immersive. Cheers Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermank Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I think this is a personal choice...and you will figure it out. In my own case, I used PTA for a very long time, bouncing around from ini to ini, looking for just the right one. Ultimately, I went back to the default shaders and dropped brightness to between 70 and 80%, no Bloom and Saturation at around 82. I use Active Sky with Cloud Art and that seems to be my sweet spot. Full disclosure, I was having dxgi errors with some PTA settings. That is much less a problem with the default shaders, which also has influenced my decision. And, when I used PTA, I finally settled on Adam Banks most recent ini. Sherm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ams Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I found NO PTA much more vibrant and skies looked bluer. YMMV, but looking at screenshots atleast I prefer NO PTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Tricky one. I prefer No PTA for cloud color - a softer blue I think. But With PTA , clouds look better. BTW, which Sim/version are you using?? TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, which Sim/version are you using?? TTM Thank you Very much for your time to have a look at my shots and for your Opinion !! Much appreciated I will Stick with REX plus PTA for now ( Indeed I find that Sky and Clouds looks better ) ! I am using Prepar3DV4.3 at the moment ! I am reluctant to move to Prepar3DV5 as I have Installed More than 1.2 tb of P3DV4 sceneries , planes etc.. and most of them are Not P3DV5 Compatible !!

adambar Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Much better without PTA Mikee, I stopped using that a long time ago. REXEF and REXSF is all I need and much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 That 'REX' was the goto sky outfit in FSX and they've been toying with us XP'ers for a couple of years - what would it take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever try ENVTEX/ENVSHADE, you can get some good results including water colors? They just released an update for V5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
