Fixes the EFB app's sliders on narrow tablets and a Windows freeze while installing, plus installer and METAR fixes. Install over any earlier version: your tunables.ini and presets are kept.
EFB app
- Sliders on narrow tablets (#21): each slider collapsed to a lone thumb at the far right, which couldn't be dragged. Sliders now show in full at every tablet size.
- If you tried to drag one, check your settings: a drag could send the setting to its lowest or highest value, even though the thumb didn't move. Reset this tab restores a tab's defaults, but it also clears your other changes on that tab.
- Buttons at the bottom of each tab and on the Presets tab no longer run together.
Installer
- A hard Windows freeze while patching shaders (#18): patching on several CPU cores at once, new in 0.6.0, froze one user's PC. The installer is back to one shader at a time, as in 0.5.1, at below normal priority, so it takes several minutes.
Install AtmosphereMod.cmd --workers 4uses more cores if you want it faster; if those processes stop, it carries on one at a time instead of hanging. - PowerShell not on the PATH (#20): the installer finds PowerShell by its full path, so it no longer stops when PowerShell's folder isn't on the PATH. With no PowerShell at all, it uses the release's own compiler. A
'in a path no longer fails the signature check. - ReShade's standard build (#15): this build skips add-ons, so the EFB app keeps waiting and there's no weather. The installer now recognises it, explains this, and asks before going on, no by default.
AddonPathinReShade.ini(#15): when it's set, as another mod's setup may do, it's the only folder ReShade looks in. The add-on now goes there too, and the uninstaller removes it from there. Other add-ons stay.
METAR anchoring
- Stations settle: near 9 or more stations, the mod could keep swapping the same stations every couple of minutes for as long as you stayed in the area. For two minutes, a freed slot now goes only to a station nearer than the one that left, so every swap brings the set closer, and it settles once you stop moving. Stations still change as you fly, and in a holding pattern a few distant ones keep changing, less often than before.
Known issues
- With the mod on, one user saw much less thunderstorm cloud at an airport reporting thunderstorms. This is being investigated.
- Inside a dense cloud, a wing's edge against the fogged background can flicker by a pixel or two (MSFS draws its clouds at a reduced resolution). Visibility inside clouds at 0 avoids it.
- Most of the mod's cost is in the clouds: it's highest looking across wide cloud layers, and small in light cloud. Ctrl+Shift+F9 switches back to the sim's own at once, to compare.
