ron533 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Hi, As the moon is brought back to us in DCS, it looks very small. There was an old mod for 1.5 for a bigger moon ( I believe Mustang created it back then : https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2073267&postcount=2) Is there a mod for it now? (I don't mind about Integrity check) Would be great if someone can make it. Thanks!! Callsign SETUP
Mustang Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 This is very easy to modify and does not interfere with IC, goto your graphics.lua and look for Ktex (line 387) and change it to: Ktex = 4; you can use any value but I find 4 is around the right size for my liking.
AG-51_Razor Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 I am less interested in the size of the moon than I am about how it comes and goes. It seems that ED has gotten a pretty good hold on what happens when the sun rises and sets but they have totally missed the boat for the moon. On a date that has a full moon rising at some point in the late afternoon, the sky goes completely dark as soon as the sunset effect is finished and stays that way for quite some time until the full moon decides to appear as though someone just flipped a light switch. Same thing for the sunrise. The moonshine will disappear like someone just turned the lights off and it gets very dark and then we'll see a beautiful sunrise! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

This ^^ yes I too wish that ED fixes this super annoying bug that we've been stuck with for ages and has been reported several times, seems like it's not that important to fix. reference post for ED testers https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=219994 Edited April 12, 2019 by Mustang
Stonehouse Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) How would you do that in the autoexec.cfg? Specify options.graphics.Moon = { fill in the rest of the table}? Does that work even? OK sorry figured it out I think. Believe it would simply be options.graphics.Moon.Ktex = 4 <edit> just confirming that the above line added to your autoexec.cfg does indeed work fine.
