Replace the atmosphere parameters with more accurate ones from ARPC

Really? I see this.

Amazing research @Biology2394

Asobo/MS please implement this into MSFS 2020/2024. This would make the lighting and sky colors much more realistic and immersive.

So are you saying your proposed solution might not be an easy fix for Asobo? I apologize if I sound like an idiot lol

The proposed fix for the purple sunsets should be easy to implement (just replace six specific numbers with other numbers).

@Biology2394 's last post was about a fix for the horizon line. Apparently, that’s not quite as easy.

What a pity, I was hoping for an “easy” fix of both imperfections. So now hoping for the original one (spectral accuracy). :slight_smile: Thanks for your expertise anyway!

Ohhhh ok that makes sense

I thought the saturated red and orange sunsets in MSFS were good. Now that I have seen what it should look like I can’t live with the MSFS artificial over-saturated red/orange atmosphere. Voted

This is incredible! It’s awesome seeing pictures of a realistic sunrise instead of an artistic one.

Its good, when its supposed to be that, sometimes

The problem is we get that everytime :man_shrugging:t3:

The downside of the proposed improvement will be that we’ll henceforth get a blueish sunset everytime, as long as they don’t add some variety factors. Although I’d prefer that and therefore voted, it will inevitably get boring too.
And there will be folks who’ll miss the “drama skies”.

Microsobos chance to show they care about the community, if it’s only a change of like 6 parameters and the creator is fully opening all licensing to them, it could be in the next SU13 beta build

Possibly but I’d hazzard a guess that this type of change is at the engine level. Someone with a higher IQ than myself can confirm if this would be a relatively easy fix or not?

It’s wishful thinking but there is almost an entire month left for SU13.
Maybe asobo can take this chance to try it out and use us as testers for these new calculations.

To be fair, they cannot do such a change based on 2 screenshots.

They will have to do 100s of renderings at different height, daytime and direction of the sun and compare both methods for all of them.

If color also include latitude and e.g. humidity, you get even more things you need to compare first.

And then, the best would be to do some user testing. Take your pairs, invite as much people as possible and show them the pairs without labels, side randomized. And let them decide which one is better.

Only then you know what is really the better rendition.

I would volunteer to test it :+1:
I did professional color work so i can compare real life references as well.

Just want this sim to feel truly next gen :sweat_smile:
