Is the sky darker with latest patch?

[Beery]

I've been playing WoV version 1 for a few days. Today I found and installed the three game patches, and now the sky is significantly darker than it was before (noontime is now like late afternoon/early evening). I tried adjusting my computer's gamma and brightness settings, but it doesn't do anything. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there a solution?

You mean, does it look like this right out of the box?

 

 

No. These are the "NightSky" values I use in the Environment System.ini:

 

[Night]

SunHeight=-0.170

SunBrightness=0.00

SunLightLevel=0.00

SunRadiance=0.0

TwilightLensFlare=0.0

SunColor=0.0000,0.000,0.000

AmbientColor=0.04,0.03,0.05

SkyColor=0.01,0.01,0.01

HorizonColor=0.0,0.0,0.0

FogColor=0.0,0.0,0.0

SunSpecularColor=0.0000,0.000,0.000

No. That looks like night-time.

Hmmm, I could have sworn that you had mentioned the night sky. Must have been an unholy trinity (on my part) of fatigue, eyestrain, and Crown Royal.... <_<

 

Try these EnvironmentSystem.ini settings:

 

[Day]

SunHeight=0.240

SunBrightness=5.00 <------ this is key

SunLightLevel=0.999 <----- do not enter "1.0" (or greater), as that'll introduce strange effects & colors

SunRadiance=0.0

TwilightLensFlare=0.0

SunColor=0.545,0.550,0.528

AmbientColor=0.350,0.350,0.385

SkyColor=0.376,0.564,0.815

HorizonColor=0.811,0.815,0.937

FogColor=0.564,0.627,0.805

SunSpecularColor=0.81,0.762,0.740

Try these EnvironmentSystem.ini settings...

 

Hmm. I looked in all the game folders. There's an 'EnvironmentSystem.dll' which contains a lot of coded stuff, but no EnvironmentSystem.ini file. Do we have to create the file ourselves, or am I just failing to look in the right place for it?

You have to extract it (EnvironmentSystem.ini) from the FlightData.cat file located in your Flight folder, using the SFP1E Extract utility. If you don't already have the Extract utility, you can download it here: My Webpage

 

Hope this helps you.

Thanks for the info. I downloaded the utility, now for some tweaking.
