PeterP Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Hi Mustang - can you cross-check if everything is OK now? part of the readme: Realistic Sun 1.2.4 This version includes some of Mustang's shader-fixes (see change log).

71st_Mastiff Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 is this working in 1.2.1? or I have to install the mod? :joystick: "any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back", W Forbes.

Mustang Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 v1.2.1 has a new sun effect, have a look at before installing any mods.
PeterP Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 is this working in 1.2.1? or I have to install the mod? DCS 1.2.1 now uses basically the "alternate version when flickering" with a slightly softer version of my rays.tga. Well - the DCS sun has still the double size of the realistic sun but I think ED did find a good compromise. So there is normally no need any-more to use this mod with DCS 1.2.1.

NRG-Vampire Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Playing DCS 1.2.2... Sun is friggin HUGE! Downloading your package Peter. same problem is in 1.2.3 :cry: sun is acpocalypse sized again as far as i can remember in 1.2.1 was smaller - normal sized why ED using this huge sun again in present patch ? :wallbash: anyone modded back to small sized in 1.2.3 ? TY
Speed Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 why ED using this huge sun again in present patch ? :wallbash: I do remember someone saying that 1.2.3 would not be released until the Sun started swelling into a red giant; maybe they were right.

Corrigan Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I don't understand -- I'm pretty sure 1.2.3 uses the small sun; at least, a vastly smaller sun than earlier. Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5
Hubris Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I don't understand -- I'm pretty sure 1.2.3 uses the small sun; at least, a vastly smaller sun than earlier. Maybe it is smaller, but it is still gargantuan sized.
Mustang Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 I've been experimenting with a different rays.tga texture and reduced sun luminosity i'll post up a package soon if anyone is interested with trying it out.

Mustang Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Ok heres the stuff :) To install simply extract the file contents with WinRAR (or 7zip whatever you fancy) to the root directory - typically C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World, it'll ask to overwrite or merge folders so everything goes in the right places. P.S - if you try using cold HDR with this package, you will discover the sun washout is highly reduced (examples below) P.P.S - if you're worrying about multiplayer server integrity checks you don't have to, none of these altered files are checked for in servers so you're all good :) Edited March 23, 2013 by Mustang 1
Mustang Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 Don't forget to leave some feedback good or bad, and if you like it post some screenshots up :)

Hubris Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Absolutely wonderful mod. Sun looks right and the HDR isn't overbearing like the stock one :thumbup:
Frogisis Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Really like this mod, it's a much more "tasteful" sun that's a lot closer to what it actually feels like to get it in your eyes. For when it goes wrong: Win10x64, GTX1080, Intel i7 @3.5 GHz, 32GB DDR3, Warthog HOTAS, Saitek combat rudder pedals, TrackIR 5 / Vive Pro, a case of Pabst, The Funk
Corrigan Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I've created an alternative version that has 50% sunray and glare size, feel free to give it a try if you think the sun size is still a little overbearing. Do you have any recommended HDR settings for this? Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5
