191: ShadeShifter 3.01a Released

| Tom Tsui

ShadeShifter 3.01a  is ready for download.  (No idea what ShadeShifter is? Read here.)

In addition to minor code enhancements to the last version, it also comes with two versions:-

When ShadeShifter is run:

a)
Version 1 will display today’s Shade Preset info as the previous version does.

ShadeShifter with Preset Shown

b)
Version 2 (requested by Daniel Hecht) will hide today’s Shade Preset info, so users won’t know which preset they are going to use for the day.   This brings further excitment to each day’s flying session.

ShadeShifter with Preset Hidden

By the way, I am now planning for a major upgrade to the next ShadeShifter.    Hoping that it will come sometimes later this year.

FSX Times subscribers could ask me for the download link via COMMENTS section as usual.

NOTE:
1) You need to have Shade for FSX installed before you can use my ShadeShifter.
2) Do let me know if you just need the upgrade patch or the full version.

Requests from non FSX Times subscribers will be IGNORED

    Could you please send me the full version of Shade Shifter v3.01a? I had a few computer issues knock things out of whack, but it’s all back to running normal again. Thanks for all you do.

  24. Hello Tom, I have been using Shade for a while now along with Sweet FX and it has changed my FSX so much. I just recently came across your page and noticed you have a lot of very interesting topics consider FSX. When I saw that there was an update for Shade I had to check it out. I was wondering if you could send me the Download link for the Update. I would really appreciate it, and thanks for sharing this amazing website with us simmers.

  26. Hi,
    reading the description of your ShadeShifter made me very keen on testing it out, so I would be happy if I could find the link for the 3.01a version in my e-mail inbox. ;)

    Additionally I would like to say that, after I originally found your blog for the ShadeShifter, it’s now my favorite FSX Blog, so keep on writing. :)

    Thanks in advance and regards from Germany,

    1. Hi Dustin, I don’t see your susbcription information. Did you subscribe my blog while you are logging in your WordPress account? If you did, you have to re-subscribe again. My setting automatically discards all subscriptions like this. You have to log out from your WordPress account first. Then you will see a space provided in the subscription part for you to enter your email.

        Still not getting your subscription information. Really don’t want to give you guys a hard time when joining my blog. That’s why I put a note asking people not to press the button while they are logged in to WordPress at the subscription part.
        Anyway, the download link’s sent. Check your mailbox and have fun.

    1. Hi Whyt, as stated in the subscription part, you are told to log-out from your WordPress account first so that you can enter your email for subscription. Otherwise, subscription will be treated as fail.
      This is because I have received quite some spams thru such WordPress subscriptions. So, please do so as instructed.

      1. Although Prepar3d has many fixes applied to date it still causes problems with some FSX only software in which I have spent many $$ acquiring. For starters Shade itself is incompatible. I guess, this is also not meeting my requirements as I want all the software I have to work not just some of it, I don’t really want to sacrifice what I have for the sake of bug fixes which don’t really make much difference to me as far as I have seen compared for FSX.

      2. Thanks for the feedback, Kelvin.
        Past investment in FSX is a real concern forbidding me even to try it. As long as I am happy with what I am getting now, who cares if it is Prepar3d or FSX.

      3. I can tell you, you are not missing much. As a matter of fact you would probably not enjoy the startup process as there is no startup screen, it just loads straight to the last saved flight. You can see that this is made for commercial purposes for 3rd parties to create their own content and config screens.
