Shade is a small program which will allow you to set-up colours/tones for the 3d shadow lighting & fog elements for FSX allowing you to dramatically enhance the overall look of FSX
Good product that does actually make quite a visual difference. The interface is a little confusing but the enhancement it provides with contrast and colour depths it generates is impressive. Being able to "bake" the settings in to the FSX without needing to run the app each time was a welcome update - so set and forget - but getting the perfect settings is still a little hit and miss - but then again based on the number of different variables such as monitor brightness/contrast/colour depth I understand you'll never be able to create a preset that works for everyone, hence being allowed an interface you can modify is appreciated. Worth getting at this price and having a tinker - you should be impressed by what it delivers.
Correction: The product actually added frames to my sim by removing Microsofts intricate shadows, and adding simple, realistic, and stunning ones. I gained about 20 FPS, NO JOKE!
Absolutely amazing. An addon that FSX was in desperate need of. Adding so much more definition to the land class. High altitude flyers will be stunned, low altitude flyers will be equally amazed as the precise edges and definition of the shadows are so perfect, that even in an ultra light, 100 feet AGL, these shadows still made me impressed. One of the best additions to my sim, for an incredible price. Any FSX owner should own this, it adds to the sim, and takes 0 away in frames.
