Orbiter Atmospheric Visual Enhancement V3

Uploaded by endeavourcmdr

     This addon attempts to accomplish several goals. First and foremost, is to provide a very nice and real looking environment from orbit, in Orbiter 2006.

     Features include, adjustment of cloud height, microtexture range, shadow depth, atmosphereic color adjustment, haze color adjustment, haze extent, sun apparant size, removal of stars, etc. With all these tweak applied, when using the recommended addons listed below, your experiance in orbit will be quite dramatically enhanced. Not all of the options are required, in fact most are just recommended, but it should be noted that the OAVE was designed with these addons also in mind, so it would really be beneficial to use them.

     Second, this addon does something which many have not seen before, and I am not even sure if it has ever been done. This addon uses an Installer to modify config files in the users Orbiter install. Previously, config modifying could only be done manually, however, this addon attempts to break that barrier and prove that it CAN be done.

Manual installation instructions included as well.

This version updates the Horizon.dds, and some config values, greatly increasing realism

Some general cleanup work has been done on the installer, and users should find it more intuitive. It should also to be considered to be even safer now, due to the way I have reworked the scripting for file copying and backups.

It should now be possible, and safe, to install partial installs of OAVE over other installs of OAVE without uninstalling it completely.
