Someone on discord observed an Asobo employee forking your repository a few days ago…so I think that’s a good sign.
Big community is watching you ![]()
Do we think it’s quite plug and play to implement this? Do people in the know have any indication?
Sorry, what is that in English?
That an Asobo employee downloaded the code of this atmosphere engine, which is open source, from a database called git and made his/her own version of it. Hence it’s called a fork. A diversion from the original code.
Then it is definitely on Asobo’s radar and they are actively investigating it. This is good news!
Thanks, helpful for the old / bewildered among us!
This is a great experiment. Sorry for the question if it was mentioned before but will this solve or improve the ash like clouds under direct sunlight?
i really hope they can push this into SU13
I’m also curious what effect these changes might have on cloud colouring / lighting…
What does that mean……:):)?
@GhostlyFrend asked a question, it turned out someone had already previously answered it, so I quoted their question and the previous answer.
The
was to say ‘good news, this has already been answered’ ![]()
Roger that! I’ll temper / rein in / moderate my expectations!
I really hoped they sneaked it in todays update, unfortunately not., i really hope we get it ASAP.
should be a no-brainer. Current sunsets are way too much.
Let’s increase the visibility of this problem by raising it in the next Developer Q&A: Twitch
Well done @Biology2394, good work!
I think people’s expecting it to be in SU13 is going to be disappointed. But it doesn’t seem to be an update that requires to be part of a big SU, I am sure they are going to spend some time on it and make sure that is the way to go for them.
They won’t ignore it now that this topic has garnered so much attention.
I would go further, and if at all, we will see this only in MSFS 2024, which would make sense.
Can you elaborate why this would make sense?
When it really is just a minor change of code, it makes no sense whataoever to me, why this should not be done to the current title.
I am more worried, that they might sacrifice more realistic looks for the more dramatic (screenshots / streaming) current sunsets.
It makes no sense to leave it to msfs2024. A change like this deserves to be implemented now. It doesn’t cost them too much time to implement and test. I would go forward and say they should do it while in SU13 beta. There’s still time to implement and let the community test it.
If they’re unsure then add the option in Experimental with a toggle and release it. People would have the opportunity to test it and if they don’t like it, go back to the previous setting.
This also would allow the settings to mature and, if successful, be implemented as default for msfs2024
The point is, that it most likley (we all don’t know the specific implementation of the MSFS2020 engine) is NOT a simple code change.
I work in the industry and let me tell you, there is nothing like a minor code change
…
We are steaming ahead to a new MSFS version, we need to face it, it makes comercially no sense to feature improve the old version. You most likley wan’t to put the major team resources on the new version, therefore new features will automatically switch to the new in development version.
