More Vulkan goodness!

Recommended Posts

I'm really enjoying the new beta (XP11.50b15). Vulkan seems to be able to cope well with a variety of weather and lighting conditions. The following pics were all taken over my usual test area (when not in NZ!!): Gloucestershire - Orbx TEGB (South).

 

The first aircraft I ever flew in:

Aiming for the Severn Estuary:

En-route to the Channel Islands:

XP1150b15-ATR72-TEGBS-02-1350.jpg?dl=1

The lighting for these pics was set up using Reshade and LUT tables - many thanks to @renault for all his help and patience B). For anyone interested in the procedure, I've started documenting my experiments here: https://www.nzfsim.org/shaders/xp11-shader-tweaks/

Quite stunning Adam. It all looks truly amazing. Personally, I've lost the will to tweak after setting up a new PC and re-installing and upgrading all my sims, but once XP has settled down and Vulkan is live and out of beta (I am using it but just to check it out) I will have a look at your documentation as these are inspirational. Keep it up!

You really know a lot Adam, I’m always impressed.

 

I only know half as much as @renault - who's been the one encouraging my XP tweaking with his extensive LUT knowledge!

The more I play with the beta the more I like it. Converesely, the more I [have to] fiddle with P3Dv5 the more I wish I'd stuck to 4.5!!

 

Thanks for all the nice comments, folks!

It’s looking amazing, Adam! May I ask what addon you are using for weather/clouds? 

 

Just ActiveSky beta. Not a total solution just yet (as it's still in beta). If you're not using live weather, then the textures often visibly repeat. Live sessions seem to fare much better!

"Renault" gave me a LUT but I haven't learned to play it yet.  I sure like the look of what you're doing.

 

Don't worry - I can just about cope with a Ukelele! I've worked out a fairly simple/elegant solution, which I'll post on NZFsim. Renault and I will shepherd you through it!
