CruizinHigh Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Excited about this as we have needed something for a long time since the demise of Tomatoshade. My questions are - 1. I have got my v5 looking amazing with EA off, using a combination of Envshade and Reshade (custom presets). I presume that I would have to disable these products to use RDShade (and I can see the value in starting with a "clean canvass")? 2. Given what I've said above, my main reason for wanting to try RDShade is to get my sim looking good in EA mode, which so far I've been unable to do for all times of day/seasons/situations to my total satisfaction. But looking through the manual I can't see any specific reference to EA in v5, so am I to assume that the tweaks work both with EA and without it? 3. Are any of the things that RDShade does "post-processing" like Reshade? The only reason I ask is for screenshots, as if you use the sim screenshot tool, it will not incorporate any post-processing effects done by Reshade - does the same apply here? Many thanks and looking forward to trying this out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDPresets RDPresets Support Posted March 26, 2022 RDPresets Share Posted March 26, 2022 Hi CruizinHigh! Good questions! I will give you an awnser on all of them. 1. Reshade can be used with RDShade however ENVSHADE cannot. Luckily we provide everything envshade does and much more. 2. We have EA mode as well as original mode where you can choose which mode you would like to use in P3D, all will be set automatically for you and you get access to the tweaks for either the EA mode or the Orignal mode, and you can switch at any time. We have seen beta testers create a preset for themself using EA and Orignal clouds just so they can switch between the 2 from flight to flight. 3. We don't have post processing, only the post processing of P3D itself is adjusted and this is all we seen with the standard screenshot mode in P3D, we have kept all in P3D and created ways to adjust everything in the P3D code instead of to post process to not impact FPS as well as make the use of the software as easy as possible. Hope this is all the info you need 🙂 If you have any other questions let us know! Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahuimanu Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I like EA mode with non-volumetric clouds, but the interface seems to be either Volumetric Clouds/EA or not. Is there a setting I am missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruizinHigh Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 If you want EA mode on, just enable it in the sim. There aren't any specific settings specially for EA, except for VC (if you have enabled in sim) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDPresets RDPresets Support Posted March 26, 2022 RDPresets Share Posted March 26, 2022 You can just use the original mode in RDShade and manually select EA mode with volumetric off in Prepar3D after start up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
