I was hoping that some kind of contact would have been made in reference to my troubles when attempting to log in to my account at flightsimstore by the time I got home today. No such luck. I have made several attempts explaining my troubles I am having when trying to purchase "Shade". Needless to say, my issue is still not resolved, and a customer is unhappy here obviously. I would think that there would be better customer relations to get the problem solved, rather than not reply at all. The re-pore is piss poor
My FSS issues have been resolved. Shade has been purchased.
Gizmo, I look forward to trying this!
And, I have. The differences are night and day if you don't have this. The amount of shadow, color and contrast is without a doubt, very different. This is amazing what the program does to all the aspects of light seen within the simulator. A very worthy purchase for such an enhancement! And the cost is, cheap!!
Back to playing with this some more

I want to express my appreciation as well. This gadget gave me a whole new simulator 
Thanks to Gizmo and his 'band of testers' !!
I have noticed that on certain presets the diffuse map alpha channel gets more pronounced. Examples are for instance in the VCs of the Skysim Mirage package and the ALS sim SU-27. In these cockpits the dev has made liberal use of the alpha channel, not only on glass faces but panels, consoles and the like and it gets rather 'reflectious'. Nothing that cannot be dealt with though
Looking forward to 1.02

Have the same problem as Gdavis101, I have no addon that could launch FSX, have AI carriers, FS Recoder, and Bjote`s shader 3.0 on, and at any time of day it looks like midinght with landing lights unable to light anything......Tried to lanuch shade_NL and launch FSX manually, but it won`t work...
Fallout3, perhaps go to the support forum and tell them there also? http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/forum/169-mogwaisoft-shade/
Hey guys
Just a headsup that 1.02 is live at flightsimstore
Just log into your account a redownload the wrapper and you'll find Shade 1.02 inside,im sorry that you'll have to download the full (a massive 3,8mb ) package again but its the only way i can keep this update safe from grubby hands for a little while
1.02 change log
Added the ability to load just light\shadow\fog values from a preset to allow for mixing and matching across different presets
Added a much better "Custom" Colour picker to the palette roll outs,this new picker allows you to grab pixel colours anywhere on your current desktop(click hold over the eye dropper icon and release to pick a value)using this will allow you to quickly pick/tweak values when building your own presets you can also use it to grab colours\tones from images of sun rises/sunsets,im sure once you have a play with it you'll see how much better it is than the default windows colour picker in 1.0/1.01
More info in the manual on these changes
Added a few more presets (look in the new in 1.02 presets folder) for ppl to try/tweak....
Again thanks for the support and feedback im very happy that this little app has been so well received
@fallout3 if you want to mail me for offical support thats cool im pretty sure i can get things going for you as ive replyed about the blackout issue to a few ppl and they have it sorted and working fine,gonna need those FSS details with any email though
Cheers
steve

Over the top if you like BUT if you altered any of the default presets back them up first as 1.02 will overwrite them (unless you resaved them under a diffrent name)
Cheers

Thanks for the update Steve. I managed to get v1.01 installed and test it out a bit, then my FSX drive went belly up and I lost everything. I was so mad. I said a few choice words!! I'll download this and set it aside for when I get this mess sorted. FSX is refusing to reinstall. And right now, I'm stumped by it all!!
Thanks for the update. Hope to use it soon-ish

Too Dark!!
Finally got on the Shade bandwagon ... totally impressed. Have had it for about a week ... ran it with default settings ... looked good.
Then, today, having not changed anything - everything was super dark - like wearing sunglasses at night. If I turn off FSX, go back to launching FSX the old way (not using shade), then it's fine.
I've heard that using the .2 External FPS limiter has fixed it - but I also heard that can muck your AICarriers setup. I'd like to get Shade to work again, but not at the expense of losing my carriers.
Set up: WinXP, FSX+Acell, no REX/ORB type addons.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
DL
