You mentioned "Cloud shadows". Just to note, there is a graphic settings to enable cloud shadows in Orbiter.

Oh, I see, that's a bit misleading. In this case I mean objects creating object-shaped voids in the clouds, like rivers, lakes or similar things. It’s a real thing: https://science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-observatory/cloudy-congo-river-basin-144608/

Wow, I'm really impressed with the quality! With some other additions and reshade, you wouldn't be able to tell these screenshots are from a 2016 space sim. Thanks for putting these textures together

Oh how cool! Can you tell me how to get reshade for orbiter?

Oh how cool! Can you tell me how to get reshade for orbiter?

Using Orbiter 2016 on a Windows machine:

1) Get the ReShade installer at https://reshade.me/
2) Install it to \Orbiter2016\Modules\Server\orbiter.exe (any other location will not work!)
3) When prompted, select DirectX 9 (assuming you're using D3D9) and select the desired effects from the list. You can always add more later.
4) After it installs to orbiter, open \Orbiter2016\orbiter_ng.exe and launch any scenario. You should see a Reshade panel appear at the top of your screen. It will state a specific keybind (I think the home key by default) to open/close the reshade settings panel.
5) After the scene loads, open the reshade using that keybind and add whatever effects you desire. It's a good idea to add a toggle switch in the settings too to easily enable/disable Reshade.

I've attached the effects I use below. If you chose these, simply extract them into \Orbiter2016\Modules\Server after installing reshade 6.0. Replace previous files when asked. F12 toggles the Reshade panel, \ toggles the shaders and right_shift + \ goes to the next shader (no depth of field, depth of field and night vision).

Let me know if you get it to work!

Just tried these....looks very good. Amazing how suddenly we have two excellent cloud improvements.
