Shade is released !

Is this addon as complicated as it seems to be?

Or can changes be made easily without having a PhD in computer science?

It's not at all difficult - probably any instructions written here would make it sound overly complicated, but it's on a par with doing a 'custom install' of FSX in terms of difficulty setting it up. Once it's set up, even changing between presets and starting FSX is only a couple of clicks.

It may get more difficult if you want to get into creating your own presets, but the program itself to set up and use is really straightforward.

Its kind of an odd form of donation ware.. Its free to members of SOH, but a person has to join soh to aquire it.. Their names gotta be in red :)..
All proceeds from it will go to support SOH ..

Free to SOH Members with name in red? Good......thanks....where and how can I get it?

I'm curious about the "red name"...how does this happen? I see people with shorter memberships than I do with red names? what qualifies you for this?

I think it's if you donate (on the menu bar) but since it uses Paypal (something I don't use and will never use) I can't.
 
Creating presets is extremely easy. Click on light shadow or fog drop downs and choose a color. save it.. thats it..

Yeah, I have wanted to donate to SOH for quite a long time (as this site has given me quite a lot over the years); but since Paypal gave my credit card information to someone else somehow, I won't ever use it again. I would like to see another option, too.

Back on topic: I am going to have to pick up this addon. It looks amazing. Does anyone know if it works with other pre-loaded addons like AIcarriers or Aerotow?

Except, make sure you don't forget to do that for each of the 14 different sky textures/times of day, for day 1 alone, as laid out at the bottom of the Shade GUI - by selecting/clicking on each sky texture/time of day, and individually setting the light, shadow, and fog colors/shades for each of them. Otherwise, all you are doing is setting these perameters for the first, earliest time of day, and it will have no affect on any of the other times of day. ; )

First of every year, SOH has a drive to obtain funds to help with the site
If you donated your name was changed to RED

When I donated this year I used my charge card-worked fine

is anyone else experiencing this

but every time i use it, it reverts my FSX.cfg setting back to the default settings ie texture load, terrain radius

has anyone else had this?
 
i'm probably stating the obvious here, and shooting in the complete wrong direction, but upon closing fsx, Shade unloads itself and resets everything back to default..
 
Thanks pam,

i was guessing that, its just frustrating changing the fsx.cfg every time i want to fly, im left wondering why it doesnt create a backup and work from that instead resting the values to default

otherwise than that small thing, its a great little program

something for steve to think about i guess
 
Well, the nice thing is that once you have saved your preset, you simp[ly start up shade, load your preset, and click on the "start stuff" tab at the bottom.. in there you canstart up fsx and it will load your preset for you to fly with..

I do believe people have mailed personal checks before. I'm sure if you want to donate the SOH staff can find a way... :wavey:
