True volumetric clouds release 5

W cloud

thought about pirating this but then i thought about not and i did not. preesh

I love clouds

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I'm having some issues with clouds on Duna. Clouds everywhere else (Kerbin, Jool, Eve..) work amazingly well but on duna they're just nonexistent. A few months ago they worked as well and quickly made Duna my favourite location in the game, but I reinstalled KSP recently, and clouds stopped appearing. I've reinstalled VC5 multiple times and tinkered with the configs for hours, and I'm just stumped. I don't use any of the mods that are known to conflict with VC5.

Any way to reduce the loading time/freezes when opening closing the map/when around a planet, such as Duna, when the mod is installed? Getting 3+ second hard freezes every time I zoom into the map or open/close it while around an SOI. FPS is fine, no issues once everything is loaded again into the scene. I have isolated it to be only when this mod is installed - stock versions of Scatterer, EVE, Parallax, etc graphical mods do not have any issue. Have played with values within KSP Community Fixes for texture optimization, Tesselation, Temporal Upscaling, TAA, In-Game Reflection Refresh Mode settings, Disabling colliders, Godrays etc. Running a 4080Super, Ryzen 5 5600, 32GB Ram, GPU not running out of VRAM while playing. Just seems like a texture loading freeze every time a planet is re-drawn. Any thoughts?

dude this genuinely has to be the best mod ive ever seen for this game ive used v3 for a bit but i was starting to get jealous watching matt lownes vids seeing those beautful clouds and i eventually just caved in and i dont regret my choice one single bit. 10/10 mod i cant wait to see the clouds in KSA

i made a planet using this, its genuinely terrifying

This is the most natural and realistic cloud effect I have seen in the game so far! Will there be a new feature that clouds change with the height of the terrain in the future?

I love launching through Storm clouds. However it wasn't the wind shear that tore my rocket apart. Just bad design. 😂

I'm having trouble with this particular version making my ship graphics stutter in and out as I scroll towards or away with the camera. It didn't happen on version 3. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi, first of all i wanted to say how amazing this mod is, i feared it would crumble my fps but it runs like a dream!! I play with OPM and Cosmic Serenity and Sigma dimension 3.2x rescale, and i have a problem with Urlum and Neidon, as they appear very dark but still have the atmosphere outline (screenshot in the filebin). I’m sure the rescale causes the bug, because when i tried removing it the two planets were fine, also for some reason when i zoom into Sarnus all clouds disappear from every planet and i have to restart the game, Urlum and Neidon stop being black when this happens. Looking into the ksp log when zooming into Urlum the console keeps spamming a message about scaled space scattering shaders depth buffering and seeing that the newest update was about scaled space scattering shaders depth buffering maybe it is a new bug. I wasn’t able to find anyone with the same problem. I am not running parallax, i’m doing only deferred and tufx. Also I tried multiple configs for opm, nothing changes Thanks a lot for this amazing mod it runs perfectly with all the other bodies (Cosmic Serenity included) and i understand that scatterer has some issues with rescale, all said i’m including the ksp log of a test session, thanks! https://filebin.net/jp28bce9a7nqzkmz

Hey Blackrack, do people still need the Scatterer Sunflare addon (v0.0878) to get sexy sexy scatterer sunflare in game?

I have just installed the latest mod. I can see clouds in the loading screen but nothing appears but stock clouds in the game itself. It was a fresh install with no other modes other than RP-1 and Sol. Can anyone help please.

Amazing mod, i just got it but my parallax continued has an issue(i know you might not be someone i can ask to help with fixing it) so for now i dont use parallax continued, after testing, i noticed that SSR on Minmus for example and water puddles arent forming, but the clouds are normal, do i need parallax continued or is there an issue?

I hope it's okay to ask here even tho it's not directly related to your KSP mods. What would you say the timeline is for adding all these amazing features into KSA? like your work on this mod is so amazing, and even tho the clouds in KSA look great too, they've got a bit to go to catch up. Is it a case of you wanting to polish KSP first or is something keeping you from adding this to KSA?

this is one of my favourite games I appreciate the work you're doing and you have my support thank you for the service provided

Hey, ever since adding V5 to the game my ships have been flickering all weird. Only happens while in space. Video Link and log (The screen recording on windows oversaturated the footage terribly) : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12LR5KSMKV_KhV9_qegx8xJulA10YGsT3?usp=sharing

The reflections are odd, some even impossible (as if my computer screen is a giant mirror). The reflections look more normal and are more subtle in the previous version that I tested (the 14_03_2026 release). It's the august release that seems to be odd. Also noticed that if I remove deferred then the problem goes away, but no matter which deferred rendering version I use the issue persists with the current volumetrics release. Here are some screenshots and log: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SoB3_P5WPXLjDiAgjB39c3-YkfByR7YL?usp=sharing

Where can I post a bug report without cluttering this chat? The reflections are a bit glitchy and I noticed that this issue came with the newest version of volumetric clouds

i love it (:

is this normal? i got the new update of true volumetric clouds, i realized that my game was flashing a bit, i thought it was smt to do with tufx so i turned it off and that made it worse my satellite just looks like a blurry mess

Just updated the mod, is there any option to disable the clouds parting for visibility?

clouds on eve are broken from viewing in orbit in new patch

The screenshots all are erroring out: "imgbb.com. Upgrade to a pro account to embed images in emails."

Truly Amazing

is lightning a part of this?

He was whipping up amazing foods, like happiness. Actual happiness? Actual happiness and joy. And the smell, it was so good. He was making happiness? Yeah, happiness in a kettle!

Hey, I might be doing something wrong but the clouds are very seriously messed up at the poles. I have all the default and proper settings, is this something I have to just deal with or can I fix this apparent tiling / glitching near the poles? (it's as if they are having to rip over different angles)

so my clouds work normal when i load a craft from the space center n stuff, I went to the tracking station to go to my craft orbiting duna, and while in the tracking station the clouds were still loaded on kerbin, but duna had no clouds, when I opened the craft, no clouds appeared on any planet, the clouds stopped working completely, do you know whats going on

Love the mod but my fckn laptop runs at 10 fps now

God took inspiration on this mod to make his clouds

Absolutely breathtaking mod :D worth every cent. Even my friend who plays MSFS was blown away

You know its a good mod when a guy who doesnt usually buy memberships on patreon does it anyway to access this mod. I installed it, and i cannot describe it any other way other than "absolute cloud cinema"

I bought this sense like April and this is was one be most beautiful perfect mod I used, I cannot imagine what’s the 6th version is going to be. Amazing job dude!!

Are there any easy ways to lower resolution settings so your pc doesn't blow up?

Hey I found a bug I think. When I opened the clouds manager my frames dropped to 12-15. The update is amazing and thank you for the work you do!

It's pleasure to see KSP with ultra-realistic clouds and graphics. But sadly, I'm experiencing some issues... Ocean render marbled with ground. It seems ocean is too low and doing some z-fighting in some aspect. I re-installed everything in order to confirm I don't missed something. I searched wiki/posts but got nothing. What should I do?

I know im late to the party. But after returning to PC everyone and their mother has this mod. I also only have like 30 hours in ksp so with the outer planets and everything i have installed i cant wait to see what version 5 has in store.

just wow

Did just click on *here* and it didnt apparently on my screen and download..

Updated computer, reinstall KSP and mods ( eve redux and stuff), saw your last work and decided to smoke less cigarette one day per month. Awesome job!

best 5 dollars spent

bro how to add city light?

umm the planet is pink btw it was working and now its not.

When this mod gets updated and I don't have the subscription anymore, do I have to resubscribe so I can install the update?

Thank you for your work, Blackrack. I am having an issue where the edges of my buildings in the KSC have very defined black lines (see here: https://imgur.com/a/M5Uav4O ) Any idea what is causing this?

Where can I find the fork that allows compatibility with TURD and Kerbal Konstructs? I'm running into shiny and transparent statics and mod parts.

This is absolutely pure dope ! So realistic ! Thank you for your amazing work

When will Volu 6 be released?

i love only clouds

Hey blackrack I have been trying to install this mod but every time I run the game it only shows a pinkish screen and dont know what to do

Is there a way to make the clouds seen as volumetric at higher altitudes? I figured that v5 originally extends to 250 km. Is there a way to change that

maybe the real ksp 2 was the mods we made along the way (:

How do you make the water look that good in game? Mine look like flat 2d waves on a piece of blue paper.

I feel kind of scammed because I paid and downloaded the mod but it rains a lot at KSC, making visibility poor and landing an aircraft there very hard. Nonetheless, awesome mod and thank you for making this masterpiece. It was expensive but worth it.

when volumetric clouds v6

first and last thing I'm ever using patreon for

damn, do you think you could pause the updates? i cant count past 5...

Please do the same mod for xplane12.. I hope one day it become true..

does this have outer planets mod support?

Iv been having trouble with this version It seems to install fine- with the clouds kinda appearing in the distance But if I get close they disappear And at night a black stationary box will appear over a third of my screen that only switching back and forth on tufx fixes Tho usually also disabling clouds entirely

First mod of a game I've ever paid for, even though I was perfectly content with the free version 3 release lol. This is a huge improvement from that. I plan on subbing as much as I can this year!

Hey Blackrack, I just got volumetric clouds 5 and I was wondering if there was any easy way I could temporarily disable all clouds, just to get a better view of surfaces, or better yet, is there a way I can turn off clouds in the map view so I can plan where to land ships better?

One other thing with regards to your recommendations for OPM Configs, specifically the release OPM/MPE Volumetric V5 configs by VIJ2, there's nowhere that tells you how to install. When you download theres a 'Clouds' Folder and a 'Scatterer' folder as well as pqs.cfg file. Just wondering where we are meant to be putting these in our KSP folder? Thanks

Brilliant stuff - looks more real than real life somehow 😭

Are there any recommended configs for Kcalbeloh system?

Just bough this and can't wait to try it out! Looks way better than the free V3 I was using before!

hello i for the volumetric clouds for the outer planet mod i am not finding the links

Does this mod have support with OPM?

Had some trouble with it first off, it wouldn't load correctly, lost 3 probes in Jool with no storm cells in sight, but I'm installing some other mods and things with the help of Grok, the bot the myth the legend, and hopefully I can get this to work, I've been at this for like 4 hours now XD

Absolutely loving the mod, first time I started modding the game today, starting with this legendary one. Thank you for making the best clouds I've seen in any game.

Hello i am wondering how i can get the volumetric clouds for the outer planets mod

Is Duna meant to have dust storms using v5? Or have they been taken out?

Hi i have issues with eve costantly losing the settings when i load a save, using instead promise world, cosmic serenity and boulderCo. Where can i get support to figure out the issue? Thanks

I have to say that this mod is very good, I never thought of buying a 5€ mod for ksp, but this mod convinced me, keep up the great work!

Hey Blackrack, any progress on the addition of 3D auroras?

Evening. I am currently working on a reimagined stock system at a native 3.5 scale. I have a quick question, how does one to about getting around the clouds getting stretched and such with rescaling?

Hey, ive been using your free v3 for a while and and was loving it, just installed and purchased v5 and for some reason clouds or the weather fx dont load. EVE shows config not found or something like that. Ive also noticed my sunflare is the really big stock one so something prolly went wrong when i installed scatterer and the other mods from the gamedata file in the zip. Any help? cheers

Should i install EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements Redux next to your EVE? Coz instruction is confusing. "To stop CKAN from overwriting Scatterer and EVE, open CKAN, locate Scatterer and EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements Redux, then right click -> labels -> held, this will stop CKAN from overwriting them." Looks like i should have installed redux version lol

are there huricanes on kerbin ?

Also how long does it take to load lmao

is there a discord for this mod?

dont know if this is possible, but it would be cool if tornadoes or hurricanes could happen on kerbin and damage the ksc because it could already be damaged and destroyed

it says this when i open the config and nothing shows up No config! Please add a config with the content of "EVE_CLOUDS{}" to populate.

i have an issue where i have clouds on other planets eg eve and lathe but not on jool, and i don't have any idea why it wont work

I have clouds but no rain. lightning, puddles, the works, no rain.

Hi, It appears that EVE is a dependency of Sol. Should I allow these files to overwrite yours when installing Sol Config? The dependency chain is: Sol-Configs > Sol-Core > Sol Visuals > EVE Redux

hey im having an issue, not sure if its related to VC, but I have lines running across the top and bottom of my screen in game, they arent there in the main menu though, any ideas?

when i get close to the clouds a strange 2d giant square appears around the clouds, how do i fix this

Hey! i got an issue, so i recently downloaded OPM and MPE, and i also downloaded the configs, however when i opened ksp there werent any clouds at all

I got a issue, For some reason, my game is pink only at the space center but my hud is normal. https://imgur.com/a/t5OMHJN my logs: https://filebin.net/2lvyfmv02nulpyqs

KSP community is so lucky to have you. Steam player count recently reached all time high. Surge of interest from Artemis 2 mission I think. Your mods make the game so so beautiful. To say I am happy is an understatement. I have played for years and years and it feels like a new game. But also I want to be able to see the clouds at night. Maybe I have some settings wrong but I suspect not, your default settings are just for pitch black night. But the Artemis 2 mission showed such beautiful views of Earth's night side. And even without mun-light, the milky way is bright enough to cast shadows for dark adapted human eyes. The dark side of all planets should be slightly visible, imo. Please check out this album if you have a second and I'd appreciate any suggestions. I really am happy overall with the look, just want to tweak this last issue. https://imgur.com/a/p22C2Ug

Not only do they look incredible, somehow they don't blow up my Pc in the process

Is there anyway to change the frequency of the clouds? More clouds per square km, is this possible? thanks.

I have a weird issue where the ground sometimes doesn't load when approaching a planet. The only way to fix it is to restart the game. If i "collide" with this non-existant ground the craft instantly explodes, no matter the speed. Here's an image of Kerbin. https://ibb.co/9mrxFJ8W Granted im not sure if this is caused by this mod, but I only have the recommended mods installed (this, Deferred, TUFX and Parallax Continued).

Not really an issue as I was able to solve simply by switching from linux player to using proton experimental but got these graphical issues https://filebin.net/ft6y1i7gj7huye7d (log attached). Is it recommended to just use proton?

Whats your graphics mod? So I can match my graphics to yours

I have an odd issue, despite following the instructions, my KSC is very... pink, as in, the whole screen is pink aside from the UI, EVE config also says the atmosphere manager is missing its config, I really cant describe what it looks like other than pink. and the KSP.log file is filled with a stream of constant errors. actually it says its missing a lot of configs, happened after I uninstalled AVP. :,]

When painting rain clouds they do not generate rain particles, in the same way I do not find rain on my planet, before if they appeared to me will be that I deactivate some game setting that was a dependency for this?

Great mod man! Who needs KSP2? But I have a weird problem; there is no ocean water on Kerbin. When I splash down it looks like I'm levitating above the seafloor? Deleted and reinstalled Parallax and its dependencies, no luck. Maybe also reinstall Deferred? Come to think of it I'm not seeing any water anywhere

Hey, I been having a problem with graininess and just overall looks. Not sure on how to fix, was wondering if anyone knew the solution to this issue. Here is a link to a picture https://ibb.co/VpP11M3w

hi, the minimums ice dosnt reflect at all

I download and installed your mod but the clouds are very pixilated?

Are there any in game graphical settings that should be tweaked to obtain the quality shown in the images? There are quite a few in the default graphics settings where it's unclear whether they should be tweaked or not

I was curious to know if this requires any extra setup if I use sigma dimensions with rescale continued 3.5x config? Thank you blackrack!

I really dont know much about design and im new to this game, but im 99% sure launching through a thunderstorm... the thunderstorms are part of your mod. these clouds are amazing, thank you.

Hello, is there a way to toggle weather effects such as rain and thunder?

Hey blackrack, i cant find my original message for some reason, (it was about the high altitude clouds) i think it deleted itself, so ill ask again :D i wanna delete or disable the high altidude 2d layer clouds, there the ones that u can see on the map (tracking station) i cant find them in the config settings so could u help me and tell me where to locate them? (if it wasnt enough detail its the: 2d high altiude clouds that are used for coverage i believe) https://filebin.net/ftjv88l6dsdrqnfc hopefully that link works for you, sorry its not the clearest but i hope it will let you know which clouds i was talking about. Also new problem, i cant seem to scroll down in cloud painter in ur configs for eve, i cant hit apply or whatever is is that i need to so i actually start making clouds, ive tried everything to scroll down i think its a bug do u know how to fix? https://filebin.net/ftjv88l6dsdrqnfc

Hey Blackrack, thanks for this mod. Everything works as expected except for some reason, occasionally the surface of the Mun looks incredibly low res and when I get close to it, it becomes invisible in a radius around me. Something similar happens when I return to Kerbin from a Mun mission, where the water (not sure about land) is also kind of invisible. Any ideas what might be causing this? The terrain looks perfectly fine when I launch from Kerbin, and I can fix the Mun terrain by quicksaving and reloading while near the Mun. But this happens often.

I have been getting crashes after re-entering Kerbin from the Mun and Minmus. It happens after re-entry. I can send over the KSP log file immediately over discord or filebin. If I had to guess, something in EVE or Scatterer is causing it. Link to my KSP Log file: https://filebin.net/mvqz9xoknsna3thf

Hello! I was hoping for some help with an issue I've been having an issue with installing release 5 I haven't run into with previous releases. The clouds render fine, but the actual atmospheres of bodies don't render in at all and the lighting is extremely blown out. What might be causing this?

My clouds on Jool look really weird, theres almost nothing green except the athmosphere, all the clouds seem to be white, is that normal?

Thanks for your work. Clouds look amazing. I've got the "planet surface is pitch black at night" problem. I just did a fresh install and think I followed all the instructions. But I also see you don't have many screenshots of your nighttime, and the one you do above of eve volcanoes shows pitch black night side, so it's possible you have pitch black darkness on purpose. Sorry if I'm missing some basic FAQ. Maybe I should mess around with TUFX settings? I think my kerbals have dark vision like in D&D from their giant eyeballs. So the night side should be visible, imo.

the all and mighty blackrack, is KSRSS compatible with your volumetric clouds?

Mod suggestion: Volumetric explosions / collisions, pls…

the all and mighty blackrack, is KSRSS compatible with your volumetric clouds?

bro how can i get duststorm on dune

I keep getting this error: No config! Please add a config with the content of "EVE_TEXTURE_CONFIG{}" to populate.

blackrack i love you and your mod, thanks for making volumetric clouds and EVE

Hey! I absolutely love your work. It works flawlessly for me. My computer isn't too powerful, but I can't help but use it. Combined with Parallax this is just ksp2. So, I'm just wondering if I can somehow config the settings to maybe reduce the density and/or quality?

Is anyone else getting a glitch where the wet surface get super blocky over time. It goes away after I redownload the mod, and then it goes back to being blocky.

everything is pink

Hi, for some reason I dont get City lights on Kerbin at night. I have the Outer Planets Mod installed, otherwise im sure ive deleted all visual mods before installing VC5. And Im also pretty sure I didnt have any city lights mod installed before. Is there any way I can check if theres a config of some kind interfering with the VC5 city lights?

Can someone please help me Download Ill pay you

How do I add custom sunflares? I'm trying to add Kabrams blue sunflares, which I just replaced the sunflares folder in GameData\StockScattererConfigs

Happy to Support your development of this awesome mod, keep it up!!!

Hi I was wondering does this add dust storms to mars or is that another mod I was looking to play rp1 with the sol mod

I completely uninstalled my KSP three times and installed it EXACTLY as instructed, but the game still launches without the clouds.

I got a problem where everything looks super blurry when the game is unpaused but when I pause it everything turns super clear, and there is like this "artifacting" when my move my camera in front of the clouds.

hey uhh i paid 5 dollars and like it wont let me download it? so did i buy the wrong thing or smth?

My Volumetric clouds leave some kind of pixelated trail behind the rocket everytime i move my camera, only on the clouds though... Im using JNSQ with the mod and also tufx. Please help

Just became a member ... thank you for the great work!

Why does my rain look like white cubes and fall very slowly? I see the puddles. Should I reinstall?

Thanks for this mod; it's amazing. Just a heads up, the pictures on steps 1 and 3 of the download/install instructions (on memberships tab, in email, etc) fail to load.

Ah, sorry m8. I know almost nothing about computers, but by KSP immediately crashing, I'm gonna guess this is a bit too much for my humble computer to handle.. Still, all the best for this amazing mod!

I will always be grumpy when I pay the subscription, but the mod is worth it. Thanks Blackrack!

Do you have a tutorial on all this customization? how do i paint ckouds or adjust density, makei t rain, ETC? great mod tho

Will it ever be compatible with RSS?

Is it possible to disable the clouds in the menu screen? They certainly look pretty but they take a while to load and they block the menu while loading. I'd much rather get in game faster and see the clouds while flying than having to wait for it in the menu screen.

this is just insane bro thanks for keeping KSP alive <3 my question tho, i just installed and CKAN is now suggestion me to update Scatterer is it safe to do so, or will this conflict the volumetric clouds?

I am completely in awe. These clouds changed everything for me. I can't even begin to imagine how somebody does somethuing like this xD (A shame because I wish I could create planets with different atmospheres in 3D and maybe shoot cinematics)

Is it possible to add lightning/thunder to Eve? i noticed in my current set up theres no lightning spawning on eve. i see in the files theres a object defined as "lightning-Eve" but i dont see any while on Eve.

anyways to add lights to the dark side of kerban with this mod if not its fine the mod is beautiful without it, was just curious. thank you for your work!

hi black rack i really like ur stuff but i see 2 layers of clouds, i see the fluffly volumetric ones but really high theres some 2d looking image clouds? i dont know how to get rid of them but i got no other mods installed just yours, i also go on the config for clouds weather e.c.t and i see all the stuff is using stock clouds but not the ones i payed for idk if thats how its meant to be but the clouds dont seem very good.. and also they clouds look pixelated for some reason

Not sure if you've already solved this or if I 'm doing something wrong but I've been getting these black bars appearing on screen. Guessing it might be Scatterer related—it appeared when I installed Clouds + Deferred, thanks. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Od0GgS6xInnLlzmvZLF4c3wzJUL59fTH/view?usp=sharing

First, this is absolutely incredible. Makes it feel like a whole new game! Flying around a thunderstorm was one of the most jaw-dropping experiences I've ever had in a video game. Just beautiful. I am having a minor issue with trees and other objects looking kind of "jittery" for lack of a better term. It doesn't affect the craft, or clouds, or terrain at all, but is quite apparent on trees and I also noticed it on the tower by the island runway. It's somewhat subtle, but fairly distracting. If I remove the volumetrics mod and switch back to Scatterer/EVE from CKAN the issue is no longer present. Here's a few screen captures as well as logs with examples both with and without volumetrics installed (I used your TUFX config for both): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1q-18wLBUv1cvd2muisYYrryb_m7bo5T6?usp=sharing

Hello, I was wondering if I can install Scatterer Sunflare and its configurations alongside the Scatterer that comes with VC5, or will that cause conflicts?

hi!! is there a way to edit graphic settings for the clouds??

I have no words. Well, actually, one. Amazing.

Hi, I'm having an issue with the mod, I followed the installation properly however I don't see any clouds. I'm on a mac mini m4 so I'm wondering if that's the issue? I'm also playing with all the mods from the RP1 Express install (I made sure to remove Scatterer and EVE before merging the files). Any and all help would be appreciated! Here are all relevant screenshots: https://filebin.net/nddqzmnatul0xlhr

canceled my e-girl subscription, needed these cloud.

wow i love this

I keep having an intermittent crash when transitioning scenes. JonnyOThan on the official Discord looked through my logs and said he thought it may actually be VC5 causing the crash, and to reach out. I posted an issue on the EVE Github with my logs, but juuuuust in case I wanted to reach out here too. And if it turns out its not VC5 or its just me being dumb, apologies beforehand

The lighting of my rocket seems a bit off, also do I need sol?

Such a wonderful mod I had to resub :) keep up the good work and so excited to see what's next!

does it work with RSS

hello, i updated scatterer on ckan and now everthing is either purple or dark, with a green/purple ring in the sky, how do i fix this ? i tried deleting and redownloading the mod but it doesnt change anything

Hello, is current documentation on clouds on github works for v5 release? I'm trying to fix JNSQ config for myself since it has strange dark clouds on Kerbin but i can't figure out the issue even after checking on the github page and comparing it to stock configs provided

Hi, this mod is a game changing but i have some problems and i'm not sure if i have installed in the right way. Can i send some pictures in private chat ?

Hey Blackrack, I've followed the instructions on how to download and even wiped my mod files on CKAN and in gamedata, and whenever I download what is required, my KSC screen is pink, and each planet/moon surface is black with a little sunlight.

I have a weird bug, I'm not sure if its from this but I'll ask in case somebody's run into it before. Sometimes when approaching the Mun or Minmus the ground doesn't load in, the camera clips through it like its still rendering the further away texture. Attempting to land anyways blows up the ship.

yo blackrack. i've just become a member, is it true that you give out free links to any updates of the mod to anyone who has payed before?

Hey there, love the mod and your work. Can it be that the Clouds look different when using the SoL Mod? If so, any news on getting them to the same quality as stock ksp?

I am having my clouds appear ontop of my rocket if that makes sense

anyway to make clouds less performance intensive?

file:///C:/program%20files%20(x86)/steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal%20Space%20Program/KSP.log

hej i just got volumetric clouds and i keep getting pick screen when i load a save or start a new one

Curious to know if this works with JNSQ or any Rescale?

Well worth the sub. Curious to see what's next on the roadmap.

Dumb question but is there a specific setting to adjust to get the volumetric clouds applied to planets other than Kerbin or would I have to download and add new configs?

How do I adjust the weather/storm volume? It's way too loud by default.

umm my game crashes as soon as i load in

Which configs for v5 would you recommend for OPM, MPE and Promised Worlds?

Hey dude. I have the V5 volumetric clouds and i'm wondering if they will work in KSRSS? thanks!

I paid but can not download.

https://filebin.net/5ir3rt3rwvtsp9wm

I really love your mod, are you gonna upload in the future a explanation of what does what so we can now what improves or decreases the quality of the clouds? And if posible a comparison? That would be awesome, thanks!

Amazing, props for adding support for Mac. Now, if only it were possible for parallax to do the same...

Thank you for your awesome mods and continued love of KSP! Just got v5... looks incredible!

Does this work with KSRSS?

I am not sure who works on scatterer now, but there is an issue with the skybox where some patches of it are shaky and blurry. Weirdly, in-game screenshots of the blurs are absent in the images, but in game they are there clear as day. When you pause, you can see clear boundaries. Also strange how opening TUFX menu erases all the blurry patches, only to get messy after I move the camera by a little. I posted the images (that I took on my phone) on this filebin link: https://filebin.net/4grvzkf2zf7irk6e . Another unrelated question, scatterer TAA seems to cause a weird "sky pulse" effect where stars blur and dim while moving the camera, or vessel, or both. (*EDIT, in the image with the navball visible I missed a part where the stars are stretched, top left side of the area I surrounded with red at the bottom, it's visible enough.)

are my top layers of clouds supposed to more grey? they also arent as dark in shadows compared to the other clouds

Thank you!

can this be used on RSS/RP-1?

Hey, I have an issue and I think the root cause is to do with volumetrics and scatter, as I have fully reinstalled ksp 5 times, and the bug keeps returning whenever I put Volumetrics mod with its scatterer in. The problem is that the Duna surface seems to be higher then it should be, or at least scatter + volu thinks so. as the clouds are going into the surface, and when zooming in, the surface is what im guessing it should be when zoomed far out, and then it suddenly rises a few km's with weird ghosting on the horizon

Hey man just wanted to say that it is amazing work. Unfortunately, my laptop isn't up to the task of running your mod. My computer is though so hats off to you doing your thing.

Is there settings to change graphics of volumetric clouds v5?

hey i have no idea what im doing wrong but im putting all the files that were said to go in the gamedata file through the read me and it doesnt seem to be working

Is it possible to use with Spectra?

I LOVE this totally worth the 8 dollars I’d love to see how it improves in the future

That's crazy man, optimization on fire🔥🔥 You are the best!

Is there any way to download an earlier patch?

Hey Blackracks I wanna tell you that I ran volumetrics release 5 on a laptop with 4gb ram and let me tell you bro, you FREAKING NAILED THE OPTIMIZATION! Litteraly was getting 25 frames (which how i grew up and still growing is litteraly perfect for me, never had a computer looking to get one) and all I did was put the temporal upscaling or whatever it's called at x32 (the maximum). But I did have a problem where I installed deferred from Ckan but got no puddles, could it be that the accumulation speed was too low? Like that low when a rain cloud passed by it didn't even have time to make the puddles. Idk, but what I do know is that this mod is freaking awsome and I of course gotta congratulate you for making such a masterpiece.

yo blackrack i lag alot when i got the new version of ur mod isthere any way to reduce that lag like can u give a good config for my pc i have an rtx 4060 8 gig vram , rysen 5 5500 , 32 gigs of ddr4 ram

i finally got a dust storm to happen but im experiencing a weird graphical glitch where theres just streaks across the dust storm that stay in place no matter where i point my camera , will disappear if its not looking at the dust storm tho??

is there a way to increase the resolution of the clouds, mine feel choppy and have a weird data mosh effect when i look through multiple layers of clouds

hello there quick question. i was wanting to join the discord if you have one and if not could you tell me how often the duna dust storms happen,iv time warped a few weeks and cant seem to get one

Hey mate, got a quick question. I saw your responce to a comment about OPM and Kcalbeloh and i'm just wondering if there are plans for a config, and if so when? I myself will happily wait if will come in the future. The mod itself is incredible with it's quality, and most importantly not a pain in the ass to install like most high quality mods.

Hello, new to modding so I followed the video guide you linked to install everything. I followed the video step by step (I think) and love the mods, however, my spacecrafts are REALLY REALLY dark on surface side to the point that they're essentially black. In orbit, they look great! Would it be some of the features of your mods that would control this lighting aspect?

Im also getting heavy ghosting while in the atmosphere

Are there tipps for improving performance? I have a fairly decent PC but when looking at the horizon of kerbin at the launchpad im getting sub 30 FPS.

easily the best ksp mod ive ever owned thank you so much

hey im also getting weird pixelated puddles as some other people reported if you need anything or got any questions about it lemme know ill do my best to help out

you could make voulumtrick smoke like an alfha i would like to see that sorry for the speling errors

Hi Blackrack! You've done an astounding job with the V5 version – it’s truly amazing! I have a question, though: is there any chance you’ll be making a volumetric config for OPM? I’ve spent hours trying to merge your files with OPM (even with some AI assistance), but I just couldn't get it to work.

black rack im a big fan can i ask you what are you planing to add / fix on your next relese / update? tyyyy

I joined the patreon, why does it keep telling me to upgrade so I can download it?

here is my broken folder its mostly the cloud painter doesn't work and only 2d clouds show up https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZtM4Cc9T89z303AhWtKl2UATFvyJ_G3l?usp=drive_link

mine isnt activating i followed the read me

How do you get this to work with OPM + OPM - Parallax with Scatters? Anything specific needed? Thanks

Hey ! When I start the game after having applied all your recommendations, my game is full of transparent/blue/white cones and artefacts everywhere and I can barely see the space center (for exemple but I can't see nothing in fact). Do you have a clue on what is happening ?

pretty insane how well optimized this is, my laptop sucks and this runs perfectly

Awesome job you have done! Is this release now working with RSS?

I love your mod but is there a way to make nights really dark using scatterer? So dark that you cant see anything?

one of the best mods I've ever paid for. phenomenal.

First and foremost, this is incredible. I don't think a single person ever believed 'this' is where Kerbal Space Program would end up. I do however have two questions, I'm working on First ever planets in the game, exciting times I know, is there a general breakdown of how this mod functions? Or perhaps a template? You recommend just looking into existing configs and 'backward engineering' them? Second, does this iteration of Volumetric Clouds scale with the use of Sigma Dimensions?

[Already fixed bug myself] Crazy bug I just had: the oceans, atmosphere, and clouds were all missing, so I started from scratch and relaunched the game after each new mod until I had an identical GameData that worked. Happy, I deleted the old one and renamed the new one. Then the problem came back. Turns out, the problem with EVE was the file name of the directory I had KSP saved in. There was a plus sign (+) in the directory, which made True Volumetric Clouds, Scatterer, and Deferred not do anything whatsoever. Never would have guessed.

I'm not really sure how/if this would work at all, but have you experimented with trying to make wing vapor for aircraft?

black rack can you pls phocos on performance more?

got everything set up as instructed (including deferred and the tufx profile) but I'm having an issue with shadows. the shadowed side of my rocket is extremely dark to the point of detail loss, and shadows under clouds- if thick enough- become basically pitch black. i try to change the ambient light setting in the game's stock settings but this undoes all of the graphic improvements and i have to reset the settings config to get the mod graphics reapplied. changing exposure and such in tufx doesnt do anything either. how can a brighten up the shadows?

Truly incredible man. Great work! I remember playing with V3 and being blown away. V5 is beyond anything I could have imagined KSP is capable of.

Bro, you're doing an amazing job! I love the view every launch. I know how difficult this is, so I spare no expense on it!

I have a 5070 ti and 7800x3d, and as soon as rain shows up when flying a plane on kerbin, FPS goes from butter smooth to like 5. How can I improve performance in these scenarios?

yo

i tried it with OPM and it bugged out, had to redownload and forgot where to get it, would you mind helping me with that, sorry.

This is just ridiculously cool. Profoundly flabbergasted at each progress made...

Is it compatible with FreeIVA and RPM?

Just curious, are there any RSS-compatible configs for Release 5? I see a few configs listed at the bottom of the Release 4 page but can't find the section here.

Any plans (or instructions on how) to allow diving further than the killbox on planets like Jool? I remember being able to do this, and upon searching saw that it was actually a feature of this mod, but it seems like I'm unable to do it anymore.

I had a question about EVE and Scatterer. Is Scatterer already a part of EVE? Cause CKAN tells me to install Scatterer but when I do, it makes everything look blindly pink. I don't know if its something I need to do or if I should ignore CKAN.

hey blackrack when i run this mod with deferred i get a sort of grainy-ness and smearing effect as well as tracers? for lack of a better term and im not sure why or how to fix its especially bad on eve

Awesome mod! I have a potential bug report. I flew a stock vehicle, Dove, into orbit and back just to enjoy the cool visuals, and when I got back, the puddles on the ground had become pixelated. Pic and log here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fPv0AwbInzayuFXrMPPmL3iIxSR9FquL?usp=sharing Important to note, I am on linux, but I'm running the windows version of the game through proton, since you said that was needed for SSR. Also, not sure if this matters, but before taking off, I did spend about a half hour sitting on the runway and tweaking some kerbal konstructs statics around the KSC. I also have waterfall and firefly installed, so it might be a mod conflict. I've been playing around with these mods installed for a few weeks now, many hours every day, and this is the first time I've run into this issue. Quicksaving/quickloading didn't fix it, but closing and relaunching the game did. I glanced through the log, but I didn't see anything obvious like a bunch of errors being spammed.

hey, seem to be having an issue with the skybox flickering constantly after updating to the newest version, does not seem to have anything to do with distant objects enhancements dynamic dimming, Weirdly enough turning on TAA fixes it but makes the game look like ass, any help would be appreciated, and thanks for making such a banger mod. filebin link here: https://filebin.net/wbcvus8c84x9dexw

Read online you only have to pay for one month and just ask for the newest version afterwards (ex. you pay for v5 then stop the subscription and when v6 releases you just dm for a new link) is that true?

Hey Blackrack. I was wondering, how do you change the cloud layers height? I found out how to change the 2d layer, but not the actual volumetrics. I am having issues with the clouds being too low in a 2.5x scale system.

I'm fairly new to installing this mod, can you tell me why they aren't working? The mod is installed and I think I have all the dependancies. Any tips?

Strange question, but is there any way i could reduce the haze/scatter affect a bit because its a little to strong for me? ive been searching for a way to do so, but i cant seem to be able to find it. is there not a way to change it or am i just stupid lol?

the thunder from the cloud painter

the rain in the cloud painter does not make rain sounds, and the thunder does not make sounds too, im just saying can you fix that? its making me feel like im from silent hill.

I have downloaded the latest version hoping this error would not spam my log, and it still appears, when I disable GodRays, even setting Sample Count and other parameters to 0. [ERR] "Material doesn't have a float or range property 'godraysStepCount'" It only appears when having GodRays disabled

Getting an issue with Deferred, reflective foil tanks are visible through payload fairings. If you need images/logs I can send those

dumb question but i saw vr in one of the logs is that a mod

Hey, I was just wondering, where in the config files can I find options for gas giant volumetrics like Jool, and for things like OPM, where the configs will most likely be located.

Didn't expect KSP to become the best looking flight sim one day, congratulations on all the recent progress !

Thanks you for the great work :)

Why is it that when i spawn rain using the cloudpainter all i get is fog and it doesnt start raining

I've noticed that after restarting the game, the temporalUpscaling parameter in the settings is always set to 8x, even though I am setting it to 16x each time, and clicking Apply and Save.

Hi. I installed Volumetric Clouds version 5 with the RSS mod, and when I land my rocket in the water, clouds start to emerge from beneath the water. Could you suggest what might be causing this?

Are there plans to add Auroras and/or Transient Luminous Events (such as sprites and jets)?

will there ever be a final version?

Very well done!

This is absolutely class, well done and thank you :)

Hey man, I hate to be a bother, but when using OPM, textures on some of the planets, like Wal (Urlum's outer moon) never load in full resolution, which leaves the moon looking a bit like a giant space turd. Any advice for solving this?

i updated a couple of mods (scatterer, shabby, planetshine, parallax cont., firefly, a few i forget) and now volumetric clouds just stopped working. downloaded again, put the new install into gamedata and it still doesnt work. it was working before i updated but now it doesnt, what's the issue (if you know of one)?

hey blackrack, does spectra scatterer conflict with the voluemtric clouds?

I'm getting very blurry and very bad graphics, do you know what's the problem ?

Are the Duna dust storms broken in this version or am I doing something wrong? (They look fine in map view). I am just comparing them to Youtube videos. https://imgur.com/0PybErZ

blackrack dus it wurk whit kss2

cool

Blackrack, Have you created a config for volumetrics with V5 for the Outer Planets Mod. found one from VIJ2 on space dock not sure if i just merge the configs or how to install?? Any help would be great and also This thing looks awesome. Thanks

Does it overwrite itself if I just copy and paste it in?

ı am using in ksrss but eve clouds and blackrack clouds are mixing a bit how to fix that

i have a question, could Volumetric Clouds be possibly used for Contrails at all? i'm wondering since i've never been able to find a contrail mod and i play on kerbin almost exclusively with aircraft. i also don't know if anybody else has asked about that.

i was configuring the mod with the in game menu to add more clouds and now all the clouds are gone do i need to reinstall the mod

Love the mod! I got it working for a bit, and then I deleted an unrelated mod (Kerbalism) using Ckan, now when I start up a save everything is bright purple for a few seconds, and then the atmosphere turns bright green and everything else turns dark. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

Hey! I hate asking modders about troubleshooting but I'll ask really quick. Im having an issue with my modlist involving crashes, I keep getting errors about not having enough memory. I have 32 gigs of ram, a 5700x and a a 5060Ti 12gig. Is that enough to run this mod?

This is really cool

Hello. I have been using this mod for a rather long time now, it is stunning! Thank you. I am trying to make a config for a planet pack, and am wondering as to where proper documentation for the syntax can be found. I haven't been able to make a successful config yet, so some guidance would be much appreciated, if at all possible.

Absolutely incredible ! Literally a game changer that every KSP lovers should own. Thank you !

Installed it a a weekish ago and my sunflare is glitching out, appearing and disappearing, using an AMD RX6700xt

I installed it and did everything properly, however it is not showing. help.

How do you install volumetric clouds with rss reborn? I used the installer and made sure to use the correct volumetric clouds file. For some reason only the 2d clouds will appear. I attempted to use the tufx profile as well. Am I missing something?

Does VC5 works with OPM and Kcalbeloh? Thanks!

anyone know what might be causing this? tried disabling HDR, didn't help https://v1.imgpaste.net/images/public/3fd6ce8a-fd72-4631-8ca9-85ef58552786-image(3).png

Oh, I have a question. What else besides clouds are you gonna do?

hi

Are you plaining do do volumetric auroras?

Hello, do you think it would be possible to create condensation trails with volume/intensity varying with altitude ect... based on volumetric clouds ?

I love volumetric clouds

where do i get the link?

Hey I paid the $5 but the download didnt unlock @Blackrack

SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Your Volumetric Clouds genuinely make KSP feel like a whole new game. I don't have enough income to remain a sustaining member of your Patreon, but I happily look forward to renewing my membership after you've pushed the real planetshine update you mentioned you're working on earlier in this thread, and I'm also looking forward to your OPM and Kcalbeloh configs! Assuming we haven't all moved on to KSA by then....

Can someone do an install tutorial for this mod along side rp-1 express install? I'm not being able to install it correctly, I get no clouds at all

Is there a place i can upload logs and report a crash?

this may have already been asked, but is volumetric clouds compatible with RSS? and if not, is there a plan to?

Does anyone have/know of any presets for OPM that work with volumetric clouds? I found some on spacedock that I can't seem to make work

I would dearly love to use Deferred , but it makes nightisde of kerbin (and any other place) pitch black without any option to lighten it up enven slightly. For the note, without defered i can play with ambient light in planetshine (i turned the ambient light back on in scaterer cfg) , and that waty at least i can see the surface ( but the volumetic clouds remain pitch black, darker than the ground) Aaanyway, is there any proper way to use used deferred with volumetric clouds and still get at least some illumination on the night side? I mean even earth is usually not pitch black, there's this pale gray ball of rock reflecting sunlight at the nightside.... I am a noob to KSP , so maybe im missing something obvious?

Holy crap, that genuinely looks real.

upgraded my pc solely for this, worth every penny, thanks for all your hard work man :]

Amazing work, this is so awesome! I have had an issue though, I was flying under a cumulonimbus cloud and my plane suddenly turned black.

Hi I installed the mod and it works very nicely but on Duna the dust storms are kind of weird. Some of the cloud type are bugged and have a black shadow that shows on the ground and it appears all around the cloud, even where the sun shines. The issue happens when I use edit mode coverageAndCloudType and it also appears naturally.

Are there dedicated tutorials for Scatterer and V5? I was planning to use them and have no idea where to start.

Amazing! Loved it!

While vol clouds work with default size KSRSS Reborn (Earth R=1593km), a few things I doubt: the way how clouds lit during overcast, how the clouds cast shadows, how rare upper clouds are, sometimes the cloud tiling is strong. I think there no storm clouds, no rain, no puddles (not sure). It would be nice to see a few lines how to set and fine tune the VC mod for KSRSS Reborn (R1593) here and in readme.

you do great work. bless and keep you.

is there a way to tone down my graphics as my game keeps on crashing when i launch my vehicle

Hi, I got the mod working at first and it's beautiful, but when I try to use other mods with it sometimes it breaks and im just not sure which mods are compatible and which arent, is there a list somewhere?

Hey so i downloaded your mod and i think i did everything right but when i download the mod and go in-game Jool and Duna have a white atmosphere? Do you have a fix for this?

Hi mate, i just downloaded your mods (clouds and defferred) for the first time and its incredible! I just have one thing and forgive me if I'm being thick - i havent done much modding before... I deleted a bunch of visual mods as suggested and dont have any aurora borealis anymore. I'm wondering if there is a way of getting it back? I also noticed you made a number of other mods like scatterer - should I install these? cheers for your patience

Hey there i might be stupid so bare with me :D i would love too get this mod, when i click the "go here for download" on the top of the post... i see the attachment on the next page.. click "Upgrade too unlock" throws a 404... https://www.patreon.com/posts/[postId] I might be doing something wrong (Obviously) but dont quite know what.

Has the AMD black flickering issue been fixed?

any plans or ideas for weather on eve yet?

Hey I just download everything following step by step the YouTube video, everything looks great ! Awesome but my vessels looks really dark, like shadow, why can I do to fix it ?

How does this work so well? Even my old 2060 before I upgraded my GPU did good with this installed + many other mods at once + Scatterer and Parallax.

Hi, i see trought the jet engine and air cooling, it's a problem with this texture ?

I’m not seeing any rain during the storms, I see the droplets on the window in IVA and I can hear the sounds but no rain, other than that it’s an amazing mod! Is there any issue that could be causing the rain issue though?

Hello Blackrack, I DM'd you a bug report about a month ago and am guessing that you maybe didn't get it. Thank you for your very revolutionary mod anyway.

The surface is too bright (maybe caused by planet shine) and the trees and flowers of Parallax don't have shade the puddles caused by the rain only appeared on the base of the buildings

Im loving this mod thank you for making this but I am having a small issue. I was flying over the sea midst of a rainstorm but then I noticed weird black pixels on the surface of the ocean following me and changing position depending on my camera and the planes position would you be able to help?

I remember hearing somewhere, probably from a YouTube video, that noted Jool has hurricanes, and if I'm not hearing things, then I have a question. Is there an easy way to find or paint them??? It looked rly cool in the video, and I just want to see that in-game.

Hey Blackrack, I know you've probably been told this many times, and i've had your true volumetric clouds 5 for a week or so now, but just want to quickly congratulate you for such an amazing mod. Its people like you that are really serving as the lifeline for KSP.

Are there any known incompatibilities with other visual mods? Im running into a lighting issue where clouds seem totally dark and out of place especially when the sun shines onto them, they become all dark with weird reflections.

hey btw when will the promised worlds mod work with release 5 ? just wanting to know

ok so, im having an issue where sometimes, ill leave the map screen and my craft has a seizures. apparently it has to do with RVC but i cannot find the latest patch.

Using the latest release version here, I noticed that the black shadow issue still exists, when my craft reaching 5000m altitude close to runway and a black lump cast on the ocean surface where it should be a normal shadow, then it stays there.

You're so cool for inventing clouds Blackrack. It's also cool to see that they referenced your mod when making Earth!

I am running into a strange bug with gilly where the terrain becomes pixelated and jagged around the edge but only in vessel view. I initially encountered this problem in my kerbalism install, but I made a new install and just installed this pack of mods, and the problem still persists.

I just got an idea, a "warp to storm" button, right next to the warp to sunrise button, simply because with most people I've talked to about this mod, it's the very highlight of it, and I keep accidentally warping past them.

Does this work with rss-reborn?

Are these clouds compatible with rescale mod?

Is there any plan to add rain and weather effects to othe planets and laythe?

I recently downloaded Volumetric Clouds and was very impressed at the visuals. To make sure I had installed it right I first installed it on a completely stock instance with only Volumetric Clouds and everything in the install folder. However when I started flying in the clouds I noticed a very large performance drop from 145 in the menu screen to 9-15 flying around in a small 12 part craft. And I don't even have a really bad graphics card (RTX 4050 which seems to be way above the minimum requirements) however whenever the clouds are loaded it immediately spikes to 100% usage. Is there any way to solve this problem? Or if not are there less resource intensive configs I can use?

The directions say to copy your version of Astronomer's Visual Pack, textures, and EVE Redux. Are we able to upgrade these through CKAN after or do we need to keep the installed version?

How can I use "paint tools"? I dare not change options in private.

Where can I find and how to install SCATTERER if I can't re-install it using CKAN after pasting/replacing this new file?

How to disable/adjust the "wet surface" effects? Thanks!

I just wanted to say these mods are incredible. I just had an early morning launch in the rain and was just left in awe at what I was seeing - I thought there would be a huge performance hit but was pleasantly surprised at how well optimized it is. Good stuff man!

Mmm I have a question, can I take a volumetric v4 configuration and adapt/update it to the new version of volumetric v5? I'm seriously considering adapting/updating the "Kcalebeloh" and "OPM" configurations.

Will this work with SOL?

awesome. do you happen to be in touch with the author of conformal decals at all? getting that fully working with deferred would make for a godlike vismod set

I have a small question. How do other mods such as Promised worlds support volumetric clouds. Do you have to take that into account and will this updated version still work with planet mods?

I really enjoy the mod! I have notice though, since upgrading to version 5 that the storms or large clouds show up anymore. Just the wisp clouds. Is there something I missed? I followed the directions in the download to a "T".

It seems like Eve Volumetric Aurorae is no longer working, specifically on Jool where its a black texture. Also, while I'm not sure if this is related to Eve Volumetric Aurorae, I see some weird artifacts near Jool's poles. And is there a way for me to get updates without remaining subscribed?

I've been playing KSP for a few years but just getting into mods, is there anywhere I can find out how to set this up? I'm following this guide https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/212175-112x-modding-guide-how-to-beautify-ksp-feb-2023/ but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up this distro of the mod. are the configs included? do I have to install the download from here separately from the mod? I'm totally lost.

hey, i was wondering if there is a tutorial or even a wiki page for integrating parallax continued, eve, volumetrics, into a planet pack?

Hi thank you for this awesome release! The clouds are certainly more integrated and look far more realistic yet I'm having an issue where the clouds seem more pixelated overall and the scattering is not as impressive as it was before. All a fresh download.

I know no one has made any OPM configs for V5 yet, but how different are the config files? Do you expect it it to be a while before someone does update the V4 ones?

Where can I find the config files for OPM Volumetric clouds ? V5

How would I configure clouds in OPM "Outer Planets"? I found a mod that does it, but it requires outdated dependencies and I don't want to break my mod library.

This is a breathtaking mod! I'd pay good money to have RSS compatibility.

It works wonderfully well! Amazing work, thank you very much! One question: I want to install RP1 and RSS. Are they compatible, or is there a plan to make them compatible in the future? Thank you again for everything!

Even with the latest version installed, I am still getting an issue where, when switching back out of map mode, the craft begins spinning wildly out of control. It's fine while in map mode, only when switching back out of it do things go haywire. Anyone else still having this issue?

hi, so i installed the mod and overall, amazing work as always. but something i noticed that i am not sure if it is a bug or there intentionally is, when i move my camera, especially close to the clouds, they blur a little? almost like motion blur. if you could explain this, that would be very much appreciated. thx and much love

Hello Blackrack, I recently installed your mod. However after doing so I see these black streaks that extend from my craft every mission. Have you seen this before? https://medal.tv/games/kerbal-space/clips/lfGj4NFzWjg3RHYVX?invite=cr-MSxjS2MsNjgwNTk1MDA&v=60 (1st vid) https://medal.tv/games/kerbal-space/clips/lfGkpGxkR7xVK3u78?invite=cr-MSxibXosNjgwNTk1MDA (2nd vid) It's rather distracting. Did I do something wrong? I'm going to reinstall it in the meantime. Hope there is a fix. Good day.

Incredible as always. Can't wait to see what witchcraft you inflict upon the skies in KSA! 🗣🔥

Just joined up. Amazing Mod. I got into my game and had a nice thunderstorm right there for me. No chance you can work at CIG is there ? Star Citizens sky-scape could do with your help. ;)

First of all, this looks incredible but is the ever a chance that we get hurricanes and other weather systems, not just visual but also that it can shake your craft?

Noticing a small issue with either latest Stock Volumetric Clouds or latest Deferred. Buildings, and rockets etc seem to have a slight shimmery halo effect. Does not exist with V4 and previous deferred. Unsure if it is maybe an incompatibility with maybe shinefix? Visual mods wise i have the following Volumetrics V5 (including it's EVE and Scatterer) Deferred Parallax Continued Shinefix StockEVE Auroras TUFX AVP (but only partially, just the skybox, all the rest is removed) Firefly Waterfall You can see an example in this video, look at the edges of the rocket and launch tower. Buildings also display this effect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aecGgKNByPA That being said, presently I am just ignoring it as the rest of V5 is great. Sorry if this is wrong place to bring it up.

The clouds are phenomenal, I was wondering what GPU you use or recommend because my 3060 is struggling

I say this every time, but you have genuinely outdone yourself - excellent work sir

Hi, I added volumetric clouds 5 to my game but it looks like there are issues with the graphics? Scatterer doesn't seem to load the water shaders, or it might not be working at all I can't really tell, but also the clouds seem to have way less coverage and look... a little off? I followed the steps the download it properly (no eve configs or any of the graphics mods included in my game prior). Is there anywhere that I can post this issue?

god everytime i see a new update to this mod it always blows my mind

Nice. 👍

The literal bedrock of the KSP community. Absolutely stunning stuff, I can only imagine what we'll see once all the mods are caught up.

Beautiful mod as always, but for some reason my game has a more warm/yellow-ish tone to it unlike your screenshots, which are more natural and balanced between cold and warm. I'm only using this mod + TUFX (your profile) and Parallax.

Its getting ever closer to msfs clouds i love it

This mod is the bomb, love it.

beautiful work, it appears to mess with galileos planet pack unless im doing something wrong.

Is there a way for the auroras from spectra to work, or is it just not compatible?

I really like the 5th (cloud) picture, how can i replicate it? What config of TUFX do you use?

I am using RRS Reborn Package, is there anyway to integrate this on it? Thank you.

Blackrack, I must say you have nailed that convective cloud look extremely well. You have outdone yourself and I would argue your cloud depictions are significantly better than AAA developers, such as Asobo working on the Microsoft Flight Simulator series.

Blackrack always wanted to ask, does volumetric work with the rescale standard solar system?

First of all, amazing work, glad to see another update! I thought you'd given us up for dead now you're doing even more amazeballs clouds for kitten :) One thing that I am sure was working before (but I may be suffering from the mandela effect) is visibility. As in, the atmospheric haze you'd expect to kick in completely around 20km or so visibility at ground level. Is that a scatterer setting I'd need to change? It's noticeable from orbit too, where you can see the the amazing new clouds and even the clouds behind them all the way to the horizon (but lower down) with no perceptible haze even from 100km orbit. It's slightly disconcerting to see your wonderfully formed clouds all the way to the horizon with no haze.

We've come very far in game graphics i guess and I'm amazed by your projects and works.

Hi, I'm seeing a strange banding on the edge of Laythe with the new Clouds installed. I copied all the folders to my GameData as per instructions and everything is working fine apart from this issue. I've taken a screenshot here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eZuDEYyDWtfKxiCIPPEKUDQaLNDYaDwt/view?usp=sharing

Nice work. Will we get Aurora in the future?

First of all, phenomenal job at making ksp look better than real life, second of all, I would love configs for planet packs like kcalbeloh, KSS2 and promised worlds because the ones that exist for them or at least for kcalbeloh that I know of are unfinished or don't work. Would love to see that and I don't think I am alone in thinking this.

Awesome clouds, but has anything changed with sunflares since the previous release? I've edited the configs to fix the flare I'm using and the same fix worked on release 4, but I can't seem to get it to work on 5. EDIT: Seems to be a config issue on my end, I'll update again later

You've knocked it out of the park once again! Thanks!

I'm trying to use a different sunflare mod, but it doesn't seem to be working. I've replaced Sun.cfg in StockScattererConfigs, as well as the PNGs in the Sun folder.

Hey Blackrack, thank you for all your hard work as always - quick question: is the TUFX config supposed to have anti-aliasing disabled?

Would it be possible to host the display images somewhere else? Imgur have now geoblocked the UK so none of the images besides the cloud painter gif are loading now.

I didn't like the orbital from previous, but I'll take it, the deferred with storms and the looks, just GRAND!

Legit the best volumetric clouds I have ever seen anywhere, bravo!!!!!!

I think there might be a memory leak somewhere. I monitored my game as I was running and the memory usage just sitting on the VAB kept creeping up.

Is it more optimized now?

Thank you for the mod, love the new environmental effects! Just a weird artifact i am running into an issue with intermittent ghosting/ smearing of parallax terrain (eg. trees on kerbin) when using the new volumetric cloud release.

I have had absolutely no problems, as beforehand I cleared my mod list and started from scratch to experience the new release. It is absolutely stunning. I would say nearly all major issues with the mod have been resolved. Incredible, just incredible. Thank you.

just wanna mention that im not sure if its from this mod or deferred but there is now a shadow effect on all the parts in the VAB and SPH. Though overall the new update looks great.

I really want to try this with the VR mod and Parallax. I hope I can make it all work together. I might have to wait for CKAN as I'm not much good at all these dependencies, order of installation, etc.

Kraken be gone! Experiencing a new issue, when i touched down on the Mun i started getting black noisy shadows on the craft, and a black stencil of various parts as i panned around. Pictured here is the noisy shadows, but could not get evidence of the stencil appearing on screen for several seconds. Basically an outline of the craft being burned into the image for a short period. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/983893641607127092/1422384374867038208/screenshot6.png?ex=68dc7a2d&is=68db28ad&hm=3e8e772d95ade4f0f68c31486eaca8032828b725e6c149d1707314164cbd40f4& https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/983893641607127092/1422384318226890803/screenshot4.png?ex=68dc7a20&is=68db28a0&hm=c878fbd187e42efba086229624989309638c67e04c4b7e800af15866fa574af6&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=550&height=309

Beautiful work, sir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vXegFnbM-g

I think I found a bug. Where can I report it?

Beautiful mod! Any known reason for the SPH/VAB parts UI to be greyed and darkened when using this mod? Only started after installing

I have a ghosting issue that i didnt have before , is that a normal effect due to the mod or a incompatibility thing? ( the mod looks amazing btw, great work)

I am bloody speechless

Is opm compatible yet or no looks great btw

Blackrack blessed us once again with another w update

Will it be possible to v5 with RSS?

Here was me experiencing kraken attacks yesterday and planning to troubleshoot mods this evening and before I could, it gets fixed. Now that is dedication. Fantastic mod and fantastic attitude to development.

Gasp!

Lovely work! Have to admit though for me and I'm assuming my lowly 960 card, I liked the orbital views I had on the previous release when above 120km. I'm not complaining, I figure it is my HW setup, not your work. Looking forwards to your continued contributions!

I've been a software engineer for over 10 years now so I can definitely appreciate the ungodly amount of work to pull this insanity off, especially by a single developer. You are a gift to the ksp community, amazing job man!

This is great! Is it anyhow compatible with JNSQ?

As someone who just got a membership, I gotta say this is an awesome surprise to find a few days later. Looks wonderful, very well done. Thanks for creating this mod

OMG this is my favorite mod

this is more realistic than real life

good god

I wonder if it's just me or not, but the new deferred rendering version coupled with the new volumetric clouds release breaks vessels. They tend to snap in orientation or flip violently when you switch from map view back to vessel view. I went into a little more detail on the Issue's hub on Deferred rendering's Github page. I'm never getting these 6 hours of my life back :((

God damn it, this look spectacular

They look better than Microsoft Flight Simulator

how do i config the aliasing settings because scatterer and tufx are conflicting each other

bro all the other games should learn how you do it.

Oh my sweet Jebediah...

CURRENTLY: POGGING!!!!!

lord have mercy

wow

Dude, duude! Duuuuuude! My jaw is through the floor! This looks amazing! Fantastic work!

hiya blackrack im kinda new to using this mod and i have a couple questions if its all good with u My first question is if it is possible to control the weather i tried messing with the cloud settings with eve but couldnt really understand it my second question is how do i get the "OPM Volumetric Clouds" mod working with this mod. When ive tried it just didnt work. thanks for taking the time to read this take care.

ive never seen clouds this good in any other game, love what you do

Can anyone tell me which other game has clouds of this quality? Because I can’t think of any

Absolutely beautiful. In a break from KSP right now but super excited to try it when I come back around. Spectacular work as always.

Nice - great to see the cloud layers bug fixed too. I'll test this tonight!

Absolute cinema

Holy peak

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Fantastic work as always!

Peak has arrived.

Hey Blackrack! AMAZING MOD!! There is just one issue though... in the VAB and SPH, all the parts and some of the environment is dark/black in color after installing this, is there any way to get rid of it?

Holy balls that looks tasty.

OH MY GOD, IT LOOKS LIKE REAL LIFE

just take my money

Holy shit you're crazy, there's your 5 buckaroos!

The update looks absolutely incredible but I noticed something different.. Is it just me or is the number of clouds and their size visible from Kerbin orbit and in the tracking station visually underwhelming compared to the previous version? They also don't seem to change over time

Incredible how you are able to make games look like real life. Definitely downloading this immediately.

You are a god.

Oh my GOAT...

This looks absolutely incredible. Do you know if existing cloud configs from planet packs will be compatible with this new version, or will they need to be recreated to function?

They, they're so fluffy

Thanks!

Damn, looking absolutely incredible!

Holy crap this looks amazing! Great work

Finally out 🎉
