Die Entwickler von TOGA Projects haben nach dem bekannten Texturen-Paket ENVTEX ihr zweites Produkt veröffentlicht: ENVSHADE ist ein Tool, das dynamisch Shader für die jeweilige Simulatorsituation auswählt. So sollen Nächte realistisch dunkel und strahlende Sonnentage dafür satt und hell dargestellt werden. Anders als mit dem bekannten PTA-Tool müssen bei ENVSHADE keine Parameter manuell getweakt. Das Programm läuft von selbst ohne aufwendige Konfiguration und soll sich an Nutzer richten, die kein Interesse am langwierigen Suchen für die perfekte Shader-Einstellung haben. ENVSHADE gibt es im simMarket für 6,66€ (bis zum 15.11. noch 5,71€). Die Feature-Liste findet ihr unter 

DYNAMIC REALISM

Forget about seeing vibrant blue water in bad weather, feel the power of the lights at night just like when your eyes are used to darkness for a few hours, forget about the bright nights when the moon is not there, enjoy watching all the New York City lights when passing over at FL410, take care about the atmosphere moisture during VFR flights…
Envshade will transform your flights in a living environment where colors evolve in real time.

ROUND THE CLOCK REALISM

Not only Envshade has been made as dynamic as possible, but the realism has been checked to any time of the day, assuring a complete and optimal visual realism round the clock with highly smooth transitions.

OPTIMIZED FOR ENVTEX

Envshade is optimized to be used in combination with Envtex to bring you the best visuals, and just like with any of our product performance has been kept in mind, that is why it doesn’t hit your fps, and the best of all: it is fully integrated into the new Envdir user interface for a user friendly experience.

COMMUNITY BASED

Like any of our other products, your feedbacks are welcome, some variants may be added in the future to fit all of your monitor settings and tastes.
Envshade will evolve and be improved as much as possible to reach all of your expectations.
