146: Shade Shifter Version 2.1 Released

| Tom Tsui

The minor updated version of Shade Shifter has been sent to all subscribers who own version 2.0.

The new version allows the loading of current (or last used) Shade Preset directly without going to the Preset selection screen.

The next update being planned will include some sort of randomized Shade Preset selection feature.

      2. Hi Richard,
        I have no relation to Shade for FSX. My Shade Shifter is in general an addon to it.
        As you have probably read my post, my computer is broken down. I’ll send you my utility as soon as my new computer is set up and having those files restored from my old computer.

    1. Hi Graham, Glad you get the confirmation finally. Since this blog is hosted by WordPress, I have no idea why someone’s subscription doesn’t get thru.
      Don’t know if you are waiting for the download link for my ShadeShifter. Anyway, it’s been sent to your mailbox.

      1. Thanks Tom – when I get a moment I want to speak with you about your Configuration changes. I tried using a UK scenery config change based on your example (I only tried the scenery.cfg change) & found that it loaded really quickly but that I had absolutely no scenery at all even tho I have the full Horizon and UK2000 scenery sets. Going back to re-read your posts now.

        Thanks for the Shade Shifter :)

      2. You are welcome, Graham. The loading time depends very much on the number of addons installed. Minimizing addons on purpose definitely reduces flight session loading time.
        I got full Horizon and some UK2000 scenery. They still take some time to load but a lot faster after unrelated addons are removed.

  9. This looks just like the answer to my Shade prayers.

    I’m sure I subscribed but never heard anything – so I’ve just tried again but still no confirmation email :(

  12. Hi Tom,

    I have been following since February. Here is my original subscription email sent by you via WordPress. You can clearly see my email address in the reply to WordPress. In WordPress a user name can be configured multiple ways. It can either be via a main account they use to manage multiple WordPress pages (NVMRC in my case), or via specific user names like my name Patrick Drohan. What you see depends on how you have WordPress configured when using their list generate widget. I must be on your list given I am receiving emails from you. I know I can search my WordPress lists by email address. If you search by name though, you may see my main WordPress account (NVMRC) or my email address…depnds what you are pulling from the subscription list. In the end, once this is resolved, I would enjoy trying the Shade Shifter update.

    Best,
    Patrick

  13. Hi Tom!
    I’ve just got the link and downloaded Shade Shifter Version 2.1, and want to thank you very much for that. I was worried that you may have sent it and inadvertently I did not see it and had thrown it away but now I think that I really didn’t receive this message before.
    Best brazillian thanks!

        I have been trying to provide an update to you regarding my account, but my post keeps disappearing? I am very confused. According to my WordPress account, I have been subscribed since Feb. 11. 2012.
        Hopefully this post sticks!

      3. Hi Patrick,
        I really have no idea why your name or email doesn’t show on my blog’s subscriber list. WordPress sometimes acts strangely. That’s why I am planning to build my own site once I am less busy later this year.
        Anyway, the link for the Shade Shifter has been sent to your mailbox and I am sorry for keeping you waiting.

  22. Hi Tom,

    Just subscribed to your blog, although I’ve been reading it for a while now and find it interesting and useful! Your Shade Switcher is just what I’m looking for as I can’t imagine using FSX without shade now, and the dawn and dusk periods are the best visually in FSX.

    Thanks,

  24. Hi Tom,

    Just subscribed to your blog to ask for a link to Shade Shifter. I’ve been reading the blog for quite a while now and find it interesting and useful. I wrote something similar to your region switcher for my own use with FS9 for various freeware replacement textures and then realised it could apply to landclass files, terrain bgls etc. etc. Needless to say it got more and more complex so I know what you mean when you say you need to think some more about a general release version!

    All the best,
    Rob W

    1. Yes indeed, Rob.
      We all have different setups and for example I am putting my FSX on X:\ and most scenery on Y:\. Also, there are other addons I put on T:\.
      Just to customize my setup takes quite some time for testing already. It’s a big profile to customize it for others who have very different setup.
      Moreover, I’ve been quite busy for work these days. But I’ll keep it on my project list and see if it is possible to have a simplified version when I am available.
