Settings on the EFB tablet, and three fixes. If you have 0.1.x, install over it: your tunables.ini is kept, and the installer updates the EFB app in your Community folder.

New: settings on the EFB tablet

  • The AtmosphereMod app on the EFB now shows the main settings as switches and sliders, in four tabs: Haze, Sky & light, Cloud lighting and Clouds. Changes apply at once and are saved to your tunables.ini.
  • The sliders use plain units: degrees for the silver lining and the glory, % for strengths, km for distances.
  • While the haze comes from the METAR, the manual haze sliders are greyed out and show the values the METAR set.
  • A master switch (the same as Ctrl+Shift+F9), Reset buttons, and a Reload tunables.ini button (the same as Ctrl+Shift+F10).
  • Every setting, including the ones the app doesn't show, is still in tunables.ini.

Fixes

  • The mod switching itself off during a flight: with some other software running alongside the sim, the mod could switch off a few seconds into a flight, and Ctrl+Shift+F9 then had no effect. This happened when that software created and closed a graphics device of its own.
  • Crash after a reload: after that, Ctrl+Shift+F10 could make the sim exit with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (#2).
  • Clouds on the ground: automatic weather stations sometimes report a cloud layer without its base, for example FEW///CB. The METAR anchoring then put that cloud on the ground, and the haze layer became very shallow. The base is now estimated from the temperature and dew point.

Installing

  1. Install ReShade 6.8 or newer, the build with full add-on support, for MSFS 2024, and start the sim once with it.
  2. Close the sim, download AtmosphereMod-0.2.0.zip below, unzip it anywhere (not into the Community folder) and double-click Install AtmosphereMod.cmd.
  3. Start the sim.

See the README for details, the settings and the known limitations.

Use at your own risk. AtmosphereMod has been developed and tested on a single PC. On other hardware or drivers it may not work, may show graphical errors, may crash the sim or may cost performance. Ctrl+Shift+F9 switches back to stock at once, and the uninstaller removes everything it installed.
