TOGA Projects has released their ENVSHADE today. It’s available to buy at Simmarket for 4.80 EUR. Above is a preview video for you to watch ENVSHADE in action.
ENVSHADE is software that enhances your shaders in P3D v3 and V4. It increases the realism in your sim with highly realistic shaders. Not only that, the shaders react to different variables such as weather, time of day, altitude etc.
Instead of having to spend a long time trying to tweak your shaders to how you want them, now only a few clicks is needed and you’re done. This is done without adding any un-natural colors or overtweaking the shaders.
