Line on the horizon

[Mohamed BOUKHETIR]

Hello, I've a problem with my P3D v5.3 and I think it's because of REX Sky Force 3D. I've an ugly line in the horizon when the sky is covered by clouds (look at the picture)... Someone could help me ?

Have you installed the hot fixes?   They are supposed to fix the    horizon problem.

[Mohamed BOUKHETIR]

Where can I download them ? I've just downloaded the latest version of REX but hotfixes, I don't know... (a link maybe) ?

[Bob Zolto]

Sorry, I meant hot fixes to P3d 5.3.

[Mohamed BOUKHETIR]

Ah, yes I downloaded it...

I think this might be a different problem than the one they fixed in the "hotfix-hotfix". I could be wrong but anyway, here's my input because it looked similar in my case.

I find it very annoying these days with all the add-ons running to identify what exactly the reason for any issue might be. It's getting increasingly harder to get everything up to speed after a big P3D update, sometimes even the developers aren't sure if it's their problem, a different developer's or even an unfortunate combination.... ! 

In my case, I narrowed it down to (presumably) Envshade. When I don't use Envshade, everything looks okay.

See several topics I created during my "investigation" about it here, no fix as of today:

But your's could be a different problem after all...

Have you updated the TOGA tools (Envdir/Envshade)?
The latest changelog seems to contain something which may be relevant.

[Holger Teutsch]

That does not fix the issue.

Yes, I'm an all latest versions, the issue is still there.

[Mohamed BOUKHETIR]

Indeed, it doesn't change anything. In all cases, I deleted EnvShade and bought ActiveSky P3D today : it seems to be corrected... REX Sky Force 3D is not very good.

I noticed this today as well - not using REX, not using ENVSHADE.

An advice, never use them

I have been using both for years and really enjoying them. It‘s a must for my visual sim experience, so I wouldn‘t support a general advice to „never use them“. If you understand the products, set things up correctly and with care, it‘s a huge improvement compared to the vanilla shader/clouds. In my opinion.

I found a work around: https://www.togaprojects.com/forum/main/comment/61cc68e4f3db8d0029b5db7b

?? In the URL I can see the subject but apparently not working.

I guess you must be logged in. So here is the post

The culprit is in shader FuncLibrary.fxh function CalculateFogAndTransmittance at around line 477. Insert 1 line
