True volumetric clouds release 4

my volumetric clouds are not working properly it shows a blank kerbin with zero clouds and jool has no clouds how can i fix this

goooood job

Terrible sorry if this is a dumb question, but is V4 backwards compatible with previous versions of Volumetric Clouds? Since V5 explicitely says it's not compatible, but this one does not, I am curious.

I don't know but my blackrackTUFX does not work as the posts says. I think I made a mistake somewhere..

Can you do a enhancement for the ground as well

I love this mod so much, but I recently got the Promised Worlds planet pack and saw people using Volumetric clouds with it but I can't find the config anywhere? Is there anyway I can use it?

Hey so I'm new to modding and having wanted this one in particular, I downloaded following instructions to the letter with my mods, then with a clean ksp file and I'm still not getting anything, maybe a slight change to clouds on kerbin, but no environmental changes, no texture changes, and it's not just kerbin, it's every planet and I checked the EVE menu and I'm getting a missing atmosphere, texture, terrain, and city lights config code. I checked my console and it's showing a lot of 'missing' or 'no ___ found' messages. It's entirely possible I'm installing something wrong but I did follow instructions as closely and clearly as possible.

Hi! I'm having fps drops while on heavy rain wheater, is there any way we can modify settings to make it a litle bit less heavier on my gpu?

Hello, just started visually modding ksp. What is your best recommendation for mods when playing with OPM and MPE? I also use plenty of parts mods from Nartea and restock (and +). I know of mods such as firefly, scatterer, parallax, and so on. Using CKAN, there are plenty of mods that I am not sure if they are redundant, such as adding "stock configs" when Im adding OPM and MPE configs. Do the configs for OPM and MPE already have configs for the stock system? Please advise on what you think is the best combo. Thank in advance :)

none of the clouds are rendering, only the shadows

Hi! I use OPM and have downloaded the specific mod for that, but Sarnus doesn't have any clouds. Anytihng I might have done wrong?

Hello. I installed everything, but i have this thing that there are no clouds visible from the surface, only their shadows. I can see clouds when in the tracking station or main menu or from high enough altitude in space, but not from the surface, later on i was going through eve config editor and noticed it said in the atmosphere manager section:,, No config! Please add a config with the content of "EVE_ATMOSPHERE{}" to populate.'' I assume it's talking about boulder_co right? Probably not, but i still tried putting that in gamedata too anyways, even though instructions said to not do that. And the boulder_co didn't help. Pls help, that would be appreciated.

Hi so i resubscribed to get just check to see if my install is bad because laythes clouds aren’t working at all? only the weather works and its showing that the coverage map is failing is there a way to fix this?

to be honest i only bought this for Volumetric clouds but i still love supporting you and your work keep up the great work! (the real ksp2 is the mods we made along the way)

Hi there, similar issue to Matthias. light rendering and even highlighting (potentially AA overall?) seems to be disabled (or shadows are overwhelming everything) while landed on the Mun and Kerbin passes in front of Sol. Extreme pitch black, no part highlighting and increasing ambient light does nothing. I can upload a log file if you want

hey. for me the night side of planets and moons is pitch black. cant see anything there. kerbin has no city lights and all that. landing on the night side of moons and planets is impossible and looks very strange. its like a black hole... any fix?

I think I might be stupid. I'm trying to get this to work with Real Solar System, and followed the instructions up to and including installing KRSS and its dependencies and whatnot trying to get the volumetric clouds to show up when I load in. They're not loading though and when I open EVE to see what cloud textures are being looked at, it says "Invalid Name" with a blank text box. I also can't select any other planets, only Earth. I can post my ksp.log if needed but I think I must have missed something simple. Like, do I need KRSS or just the configs for EVE from it for it to work with Real Solar System?

Hello, my config is 4090+ryzen 9800x3d, I run a 4k monitor and your high profile setting absolutely tank my fps, however I really like that the effect of blurryness is gone when mooving, you can really appreciate the cloud like this, any tips to save some fps and keep this clear effect ?

Edit: Disregard. I re-downloaded and it seems I have the correct release now, though I have no clue how I ended up with a different version previously.

I finally turned 18 and got a credit card, I got THE Mod after 3 years of dreaming and seeing other players with it, gonna be playing ksp all night XD

Is there any way I can make the clouds look less "grid-like" from Orbit? I'm using JNSQ with the volumetric clouds config for it listed above. I haven't changed any of the settings in the config or in-game. Here's a picture showing what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/vOFsVz5

Hello i did subscribe to this and can you explain me this ,when i cancel subscription and new version appears, i read that i need to simply email you. Is this correct??

I have a problem where the scatterer makes crashing into water do no damage to a craft. Any suggestions on how to fix that?

Even though we don't install eve or scatterer through CKAN since your mod does it, is it still okay to accept the update request for scatterer on CKAN?

is the 4070 ti super suffficent for the performance heavy config?

What is the current status for the release of V5?

Had issues installing, followed the install order under Deferred and ckan would bug out, and complain of a fail with parallax i think? Had to install everything from ckan, and then copied your files over top. Your TUFX profile wouldn't stick either, despite setting every scene and quitting out of ksp properly. I had to set everything in the TUFX.cfg and now it's lovely. i7-6950x and 1080gtx default settings and runs very well. Couldn't bring the frame counter up but it's definitely way better than the 35fps someone with a better card was reporting. 60+ fps ez. Thankyou for your work and your time, this will definitely refresh my love of this game <3

Beauttiful mod, not lagging

https://imgur.com/a/QIgv0SS Any idea what is going on here? There seems to be some AO rendering on top of the EVE fog, but I have no idea where this is coming from. Is it stock? This is not TUFX's fault because it does not go away when I turn TUFX AO off (while actual TUFX-generated AO does).

I knew it is Great mod, but god dam its so beutiful ! thank you .

Hey, love the mod! I was wondering if there will be a future fix for the clouds being cut off over mountains when in low orbit around the planet. Basically clouds look great but the ones over the mountain looking down are clipped gone as the mountain is higher. or is there a setting that I can change to have the clouds look like they do in High Orbit (no clipping)?

Saw this mod being used in the videos of Matt Lowne and I had to have it myself. It looks fabulous! You have done some exceptional work!

Hi, does this work with parallax legacy or parallax continued?

Hi blackrack, this mod lowers my FPS to around 35 on my 1650, I kow, not the best GPU in the world, so I wanna know are there any ways of lowering the graphics settings of it? Maybe the resolution in which the clouds are rendered or the amount of raymarching steps? I've looked in the configs and tried setting temporalUpscaling to x12, lowering the horizontalResolution ridiculously low numbers, like 25 in raymarchedClouds.cfg, btw, is EVE_RAYMARCHED_CLOUDS_QUALITY only apply to eve or is it just an old name that you didnt change? Then i've tried lowering the raymarchingSettings in the main clouds.cfg, like increasing the step sizes and decreasing their amount and distance but all of it didnt actually have that much if any effect on performance, and also, the GPU utalization jumps to 100% if i look at the clouds from a top down view, from the bottom up the performance is quite good actually, so yeah, i just wanna know what's the issue here and what can i lower to squeeze a little bit more FPS out of it, and... just thanks for this great mod :)

Hi, any tips to get Duna volumetrics working? not a single cloud or dust storm anywhere. other planets work fine, should the 'DunaDustStormBig' in gimp exported as DDS?

Hi, first time here. how do i download your TUFX profile?

Hello. I have this issue where my game looks grainy when im below clouds. I think its caused by Volumetric Clouds. Is this a common issue?

Hello! I just built a new PC and installed KSP today. When I placed this mod in my gamedata folder and launcher CKAN, it told me Scatterer had an update. Should I update Scatterer through CKAN when using Volumetric Clouds, or leave it as it is?

Any chance this works with city lights?

It's running fine here, btw how can i change the clouds? for eg: more clouds, less, whatever

This is gorgeous.

Hello! I'm attempting to download the Grannus Expansion Pack from CKAN to use in my save, but it says it conflicts with the version of Scatterer that I have, even though I updated it to the latest version available because I am using your Volumetric Clouds mod. Any idea why this is happening?

Nothing really to say other than I love this mod. Cant wait for v5! You cooked :)

every time i get into ksp it kills my motivation because i want all the pretty graphics to work on the outer planets mod, and it hurts my non-computer-savy brain to try and figure out why the hell tekto looks like wet, green snow slush, or a pure white mess of broken clouds, with similar shenanigans for every other gaseous body in opm. have you considered making an all-in-one mod with opm, parallax, deferred, etc, as a collaboration with all those creators?

Hello Blackrack, I was going to send in a base on Duna, and I realized the Duna dust storms weren't there, I have no idea what is conflicting the mod.

im having issues with the outer planets config, I downloaded it and all the dependencies yet clouds just dont show up. is this a common issue?

Hey man, thanks for making ksp2 for us ❤️🙏

Hi im really new to ksp modding and i have a Problem when trying to set up your mod. I follow your Instructions but always have the eve clouds in my game. Also i dont know if it should be like that but there is always a "scatteratmospherecache" folder in my gamedata folder and it always Comes back when i restart the game

The mod is amazing, but i want to boost my fps a bit, how and where can i optimise graphics for this mod

I bought this mod but its not working with RSS. With RSS i just need install your mod like you mention on the top?

Amazing work! Especially the attention to detail, e.g. when you in the IVA view, you can even see the little drops of water on the glass from the clouds. Impressive, thank you for your work! https://imgur.com/a/wl5e6Rl

May I ask when v5 is expected to be released?

Hello sorry if this question was already asked, but is it possible to adjust cloud noise scale for Sigma Dimensions? When I upscale planets (like 2.5x), the clouds look super noisy and thin.

Hi Friend, I am a great fan of your work! I am hoping to assemble the Highest Quality visual effects version of the install as possible and currently have an RTX 4090. Am I therefore to use the: "Performance-heavy config for 3090/4080 class GPUs"? You might ammend that to: "Performance-heavy config for 3090/4080 class+ GPUs" Or something similar to future-proof / aid those of us beyond. :) Edit: Removed a second question about which additional configs play nicely together after improved understanding.

Just installed this mod and ksp keeping crash. I run with Ckan.

Does this release have mac support or does only release 1 have that support?

Any idea when you'll release the fix for multiple layered clouds?

Amazing mod! Thanks for it! I really wonder why KSP Developers decided to not add clouds in the game... I mean, it's essential for a good atmosphere.

Looks great with stock scale, but not so great when using the 10x rescale config with sigma dimensions. I can't figure out how to get the clouds to scale nicely with the EVE UI, they're very sparse and grainy looking. The textures show up too close to the surface so everything looks pixelated. For now I'll play on regular scale because it looks really nice, but I really want to try 10x scale with volumetrics.

Thankyou for this excellent mod, Blackrack. I love all the work you've put into it, and I haven't experienced many issues with it. There is one thing though, which is unrelated to volumetric clouds: when I have sunlight extinction on, midday becomes as dark as evening. It's only at mid-day, only at kerbin as far as I know, and possibly only near the equator. Here is a screenshot: https://ctrlv.link/IjmK I still have AVP installed (naughty I know) but I've removed every feature from it apart from city lights, and deleting AVP entirely doesn't make this problem go away. Aside from the listed dependency mods I also have Parallax, but that's about it for graphical mods.

did fresh game install fresh saves all fresh in Ckan and my clouds look nothing like this

The supersized screenshots don't actually appear to be supersized. They are the right resolution, but when I zoom in I see fake chunks of color that are 6x6. There is a mixing color between them but its certainly not what I think is supposed to happen? This imgur links a 8k 4kimage, but zooming in shows the weird pixel - chunks I was talking about. And I'm 90% sure TAA is disabled. https://imgur.com/gallery/jool-supersample-fail-1TG8GyH

Hello! I'm new to this mod. How do I change the weather so that there are more clouds?

Hi Blackrack, I love your clouds mod. I can't seem to get into the Scatterer config menu while in-flight, only from the KSC menu. Is that normal? I have Volumetric Clouds Eve, Scatterer, Planet Shine, TUFX and Deferred mods installed and enabled, do you think that any mods mentioned here conflict with each other if I can't access Scatterer config menu during flight?

Hello there! I was just wondering what this problem might be. So ballisticfox made a new release for RSS called Sol, and I've been trying to run it, but there's something wrong with the scaled mars files, and it won't let me run a game save. I can send you my ksp.log file.

Hey man. Wanted to know if the newer update would be more optimized for low/mid-end PCs.

Hey, i installed the mod and it look's gorgeous but there is one problem, it has huge performance impact on my laptop, i have a RTX4050 6gb Vram, 16gb DDR4 ram, and an I5 12450K but when im in orbit around Kerbin i got 20fps :/ is there like a performance lighter pre-set for it? Or is it just that i have not enough Vram?

Hello Sir, having some issues with Outer Planets Mod. I've noticed that Tekto has no atmospheric effects or volumetric clouds as I've seen in videos. I'm running 1.12.3 if that's an issue, or if I'm missing some mods. Thank you for your time, and hope to hear back.

Hey im having an issue with making the clouds look "fluffy", all my clouds are small and thin unlike the ones in your screenshots but i can figure out how to get thicker, bigger cloud in the menu in game

Hey, idk if im doing it wrong but i dont have such dense dust storms on duna as others have on videos, can you provide settings which increase the density ( or idk something else ), that these dust storms would be so cinematic? thanks!

My main comment here is just mainly a small idea for next update, add a config for when making a save to control how often a storm can spawn as in all my testing with my worlds the thunder storms are just way to frequent

Hi Blackrack. Im having the same issue as Ida Ritcher. However, it only happens when using Parallax Continued. I tried contacting Linx and he said I should try setting the reflections to minimum, but it didn't work. Do you know what is the cause. Thanks

Hey Blackrack, I absolutely love scatterer and volumetric clouds, but I've noticed an issue that is only appearing with a specific setup. I am using the JNSQ config, with the 10X stock JNSQ rescale mod that is available on CKAN. When launching a rocket I notice that the atmosphere on the distant horizon seems to be cut off, instead of fading gradually into space. This ONLY occurs with the 10X rescale, normal JNSQ is 2.5X and works without issue. Is this a problem with scatterer? https://imgur.com/a/FTDpKKv

Hi! Love your work, but have an issue. When using the Scatterer and EVE versions from this post the night side of Kerbin and other planets is too dark to be able to plan landings. Is there a setting that would allow me to brighten up the map view of planets? I have tried disabling "scaled space ambient light" in Scatterer, increasing the ambient light via stock settings, and disabled "Scaled Planet Self Shadows" in Parallax. (I can see mountains after this but not much else.) I also have Singularity and Deferred. If you have any advice it would make my day!

Hello I have an issue, there seem to be two layers of clouds that go in two different directions and it makes visual glitches, I can see on layer through the other one. I have Sol installed, maybe it's the issue?

ckan is autodetecting scatterer. should i let it update it?

To install the outer planets mod config, do I just place it within the Game Data folder?

Can you have EVE's city lights with the volumetric clouds 4?

How do I use flowmaps? I cant find any tutorials

Are there any Kcalbeloh configs?

I saw in the comments you mentioned the clouds don't work well at 10x, is this also the case at 2.5x?

i cant figure out how to change the resolution of the clouds

after a longer hiatus from KSP i reinstalled it and also all the visuals. But you clouds and visual make it just so good. just came back from a test flight for a contract and for the first time i launched in a thunderstorm. and i have to say. DAMN THATS SO COOL. Thank you a lot for your work

Blackrack, how do I install the configs for OPM? I downloaded it, checked the gas giants and tekto, but it's still the flat 2d texture?

I'm unsure if this is even possible (I know next to nothing about coding), but are you planning to add a way for vehicles to interact with the clouds? It'd be awesome to fly a jet through some clouds and watch them move and bend around the vehicle.

Hey blackrack, do you have a place for reporting and or inquiring about bugs? ive encountered a strange one where upon loading into a craft in flight, if a planet is in view with the volumetric clouds rendered. IE Low Kerbin Orbit. All the outlines of the clouds are covered in black and a sort of stenciled imprint of where the clouds were is now permanently on the screen in the ship view no matter which way you turn the camera. Gonna try a fresh install and see if that fixes it.

Oh, OK. Makes sense that are you also working on the version six as well. I'm just wondering how far the version is until like you say it's not been come up yet

I mean, this is very nice. I wonder if you could like. Send me a preview before it's released. Don't worry I won't leak it I just like to have the best possible version.

Question, do you have version five of the clouds going to be released because I'm wondering so what are the improvements?

HEY

How do I know if the HQ clouds config is working properly? I have a 4090, and the config is in GameData/HQ_volumetricClouds.cfg

Could you add whisky clouds like in irl? Like: https://as1.ftcdn.net/jpg/01/78/88/96/1000_F_178889650_NnLGovqBKil4Ge8ckAwyQDfEWPMmxI1B.jpg

Is there a version that isnt "early access"? or is that the most up to date version?

Hi, I was wondering if there's a way to set your TUFX profile by default. Everytime i launch the game, I have to select your profile, and then it changes if I quit the game. Very good work on the mods :)

Hey ive got 2 questions :D 1. Is there a config for kcalbeloh? i wanna try it but only if it works with this awesome mod :) 2. Can i turn on Antialiasing with TUFX? i tried turning TAA on but its all glitchy looking and the other options didnt antialias well :( thanks, love your work!!

Hello, I wanted to know how I could improve the clouds performance a little bit. I currently have ~50fps but I want 60

How can i make the skys have more clouds? i love the mod but i feel like im missing half of the clouds

Is there any sneak peaks of the v5 clouds?

ABSOLUTLEY WORTH THE MONEY!

Thank you for this wonderful mod, 500% worth it!

I'm sorry, but i got a little bit too impatient, so i want to ask you the question, which been asked a million and one time already. To the point - will the volumetrics v5 come out very soon? Because i saw about one month ago, that you had replied to someone, saying that v5 clouds will release in about 1-2 months, and its been a little bit more than one month. So, i think that the mod is about 99% done, and there is only some polishing left. And so, i think, that v5 clouds will release in about 2 weeks from now, also considering that you are giving some of free time dedicating in making of KSA. Sorry again for bothering, thanks. Best regards, 僕アホガ

I have a suggestion of sorts: Could a future release maybe include a quick toggle button / keybind for turning all volumetric effects on and off? Sometimes, with especially big launches the clouds do cause a bit of an fps drop and it would be nice to disable them temporarily and easily, when the circumstances require it. (not to hate on the mod at all, its fucking gorgeous lol)

i installed the mod pack from here, did as instructions said but it still wont work? i deleted all my ckan mods and am on a clean install no idea what im doing wrong. playing on steam.

I am having issues installing Volumetric Clouds on RSS. Do I need to install RSS Reborn to add your mod? My PC can't run RSS Reborn but I might be able to run just the clouds. is there any way to install your mod to RSS without the massive texture packs that come with RSS Reborn?

hello, i dont know what i did wrong, followed every step to install this with RSS. Basically, half of the sky turns black and there isnt even any clouds visible. What did i do wrong??

Hi, I have another observation / question: The latest release of EVE / volumetric clouds seems to disable all other clouds layers / aurorae / effects from other non-volumetric config packs (AVP etc) on the planets its active on. I know you said "remove all other config packs", buuut what if I wanna mix and match different volumetric and non volumetric effects together? For example; Volumetric Clouds doesn't have aurorae atm, so I would want to retain the AVP 2d aurorae on Kerbin, Eve or Jool. That doesnt work with the curren release. Or another example; theres a 3rd party config pack for EVE-voulemtric that adds 3d aurorae to all necessary Stock and OPM planets. The issue is now that non volumetric overhauls of OPM planets like Sarnus don't work anymore, because Volumetric Aurorae applies a volumetric effect to the planet, and EVE-volumetric disables all non volumetric effects for said planet. I can see why its nice to have all other config packs auto disabled on volumetric planets, especially for newer users who would otherwise complain about a mix of 2d and 3d clouds, but for people who know a bit more what they are doing, its kind of a hindrance. I have tested this with a fairly minimal modded install (only Volumetric Clouds Bundle, AVP, OPM, plus dependencies and stuff like toolbar control etc)

Hi, I'm new to patreon and I have a question regarding your volumetric clouds mod. From what I've gathered, the update that gives Jool its volumetric clouds and storms is not out yet, am I correct on that assumption? Thank you for your work :)

does this include clouds for jool, if so I don't think they're loading in for me. Other planets work just fine. Thank you.

then how come when i add thunder or rain or other types of weather either nothing happens or a foggy cloud appears and I select the correct option so what do i do? and how do i activate your tufx

Hi for some reason in the config UI for rain droplets rain clouds lightning it always says invalid even though when i check the mod file in game data it says its correct what should i do?

Hello, I'm trying to use this mod with Sigma dimensions which allows you to resize the solar system. I've changed everything to a 10x size system and planets and kept the same atmospheres, but it breaks the clouds and now I only have a single thin layer of clouds instead of multiple layers with storm columns etc. I've also tried installing BallisticFox's RSS configs to no avail (I'm assuming because it's made for different planets technically). How do I configure my your mod so that my roughly earth-sized kerbin will have earth-like clouds? Thanks in advance for all you do by the way, your mod is essential to the gameplay experience now. That's why I need my multiple layers of clouds back, one layer just isn't enough for visual reference in atmospheric flight, lol.

Hello, I've had some issues getting this to run on my KSP install (linux x86_64). The clouds always seem to render in the foreground, occluding any vessels and structures on the screen. https://i.imgur.com/QZUMdCT.png I've tried running Volumetrics on a clean install and running it through proton so that it's using Directx11 instead of openGL. Any advice?

can i use astronomers visual pack with this mod? and if not, is there any other mods that add auroras that you recommend?

Hi Blackrack! I'm curious about the 'Performance-heavy config' part. I have a 4090, so does incorporating this file make this mod put less strain on the GPU while giving the same quality? I guess what I'm really asking is what this option does. Cheers!

Hi, do I need to do anything to the EVE config in KSP after following the instructions to install volumetric clouds v4?

Hi Blackrack, I installed the volumetric clouds for RSS Reborn, following all the instructions provided by ballisticfox. The result turned out great, but I also wanted to add additional mods through CKAN. Many of the mods I want to get ask me to overwrite some of the files installed from merging the GameData folder, I think Harmony was the main one causing issues. I was wondering if I would have to manually install all of the mods to find compatible versions, or if I could save the trouble and install them through CKAN without overwriting files and breaking the game.

Hi just wanted to ask, so should I have AVP installed along with this or no. I had it installed afterwards and was just curious.

here ya go. https://filebin.net/78vumsj6kxqonyu6

hey Blackrack. First, thanks for an awesome mod. However, I have run into an issue on Titan on KSRSS. I have scanned it for resources, but it looks like the resource overlay is hidden behind the atmosphere. Is there a workaround for that one?

hate to bother you again, but my opm volumetric clouds work for the moons, but for the gas giants its just the scatterer that works, and there are no volumetric clouds.

yooo is there anything in the cloud settings where i can make the clouds fade to their flat textures while im on low orbit to improve my performance

Hey there! i was just wondering how to setup the outer planets mod volumetric clouds, since i can't find the instructions on youtube or in the read me text.

Hey, awesome work but I might be dumb and don't seem to have any rain, lightning or droplet effects. any help would be appreciated, thanks!

What is the Blackrack TUFX cuz i cant find it in the folder

Hi! I'm here to post that on Linux, the clouds.cfg has case-sensitivity issues. I've made some fixes in this pastebin: https://pastebin.com/TmSpvy5e The OPM config has similar issues since it copies the coverageMap lines. I'll submit a PR there soon-ish to fix it as well.

I've played over 100 hours with volumetric clouds on stock and modded ksp it's great but I recently started RP1/RSS/RO and loved it but I missed the old volumetric clouds so I tried installing RSS Reborn but for some reason the installer for RSS reborn won't work because EVE and scatterer and missing so I checked and tried again but it turns out the installer uninstalls EVE and scatterer I have tried every method to prevent it can you help me or should I ask someone else?

When would this be out of early access, or is it just gonna be a premium mod?

Howdy! new into the modding scene so bare with. <3 Unsure if I have an issue or just not using the settings correctly, Issue: Weather and rain rarely show up + the water droplets on the cabin screen don't at all. (the sliding on cockpit rain ripple effect) When flying through the rain (when it is there), thunder sound works, rain outside the craft is visable, the only thing that doesn't is the droplets on the screen fx. :c I suspect an alt mod is screwing with it - But is there a setting to toggle this effect on or off? - Ps, thank you for working up this mod. It's amazing. Genuinely.

Hello, firstly thank you so much for your work! This is making KSP truly amazing. Im having trouble causing rain to spawn. If i timewarp long enough rain will eventually appear, but is there any way to spawn it? I can use the painter to create clouds but im unsure how to make rain/lightning etc. Thank you!

hello, i'm having a minor issue and Idk if its this mod that causes it or like tufx, or if its an intedended feature, but is there any settings I can tweak to make the blurriness of things revert to vanilla-ish levels? everything else in the game looks great but the craft and the ksc in particular look pretty blurry, espeically when moving the camrea around and/or not being zoomed all the way in. at the moment i'm guessing its the temporal upscaling but i dont really see an option to turn if off. thanks for the mod though, it looks amazing. i'll list the other visual mods im using below- -this mod + the high perfomance profile -deferred -parallax -tufx + your profile -firefly -waterfall +whatever dependencies they need

Hello, sorry if this question has been asked repeatedly. I'm trying to figure out how to get Spectra or AVP to work with Volumetric Clouds. What I have found from the internet is that there is an option somewhere that disables all 2D layers, probably to prevent collision of the two features (2D / 3D). Is there a way to re-enable this in the settings somewhere? Basically I want the volumetrics to work with the Aurora / Laythe glow included with those packs, and have already removed the conflicting cloud layers. Thanks for the awesome mod!

hey blackrack. i was just wondering (roughly) when release 5 of volumetric clouds is slated to drop (or if there is even gonna be one with how good things look already) and what that will look like cause it's been a VERY HOT minute since this patreon has been updated and i just wanted to know what we could be looking forward to and roughly when we could see it, i look forward to whatever upgrades you have in store for EVE

I play ksrss and Earth has volumetric clouds but Venus, Mars and Titan still have the 2d images of clouds. Any possible way to have those planets get volumetric clouds too?

The link to the JNSQ config was broken, currently looking for other JNSQ configs. Do you know of someone that works well?

Do you think you could add support for Engine Lighting Relit lighting to illuminate clouds? https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/182906-engine-lighting-relit/

I'm having trouble with OPM. I can't seem to make Sarnus look as nice as Jool does... do you have any pointers? I made a post on Discord about it as well, happy to send pics or logs or whatever. Thanks!

Hi Blackrack, was watching Matt Lowne's Jool flythrough from Jan 2025, and he said that you had a Volumetric Clouds drop in Dec 2024. I am new to patreon, and specifically paying patreon. The "latest" release I see is from Jul 2024. Am I missing the link to the new release?

Hey @blackrack im having some problem dowloading i have lost alot of parts now what should i do?

I'm having a couple of graphical glitches that I'm trying to work out. I ran into these problems on an old save, but I tried using a clean install without other mods just to make sure it wasn't a weird interaction and I'm still getting the same problems. I took a picture of my monitor to show what I'm seeing that I've linked below. I captured this at the space center because it was convenient, but I've also encountered this in flight. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18Hs9aZuKNRmIQHpjtXstsuWT_WHO-pfz/view I took a picture because when I take a screenshot, I get this which was taken at the same time: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ibM0wN61-84OaLfkpCExYLZlHNfgo6jL/view?usp=sharing What's weird is that when I capture the screenshot it seems to clear up the problem, at least temporarily. The second issue I'm having is flickering clouds. Link to some video examples is shown below. Sorry for the crappy monitor filming but it was the easiest way to capture what was happening. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GQ-9tMsFzyCz-bxCPmsaWskGU5Kn9KNt/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QBId-ccyvRjKtF_YgYLcq7l6tJ-1Gcev/view?usp=sharing I've attached the log from my latest run below. Would love any helping trying to diagnose the issue. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cIR0L5Dozh8h74hYgVDI0dT7-QG8cajL/view?usp=sharing

Blackrack what are your future plans for this mod

the clouds pixellathe when you navigate the camara

Is this the latest version of the mod?

For the performance heavy config, does it work for the RTX 5080/5090?

At different altitudes, clouds become visible through each other, or clouds that are higher than others overlap with those lower. How can we solve this problem?

Hi Blackrack, was looking at the EVE config, saw in the TextureConfig pane the following message: No config! Please add a config with the content of "EVE_TEXTURE_CONFIG{}" to populate I wasn't sure where to post this, or if it's even a problem

Hi Blackrack! I saw in another reply that you mentioned that the HQ config was not really meant for non-cinematic gameplay, and I was wondering what settings you might have in mind for a 3090TI? I saw you mentioned lowering temporal upscaling and increasing lightVolume resolution (and maybe step count?), but what values would you consider reasonable? I was also curious what skybox mod you were using in your screenshots, it's very pretty! Thank you!!

is there a way to get city lights. i like having them

Thank you for all your work and creativity! You're one of the reasons I've been playing this game for 12 years.

on mac the clouds are bugged

Hello, I have been trying to get the Volumetric Cloud work with OPM, but I am having a lot of difficulty. I heard that it is incompatible with V4. Is there a way I can circumvent having to downgrade to V3?

Hello! I have some problems with the dark side of planets being completely black in map view and from orbit. If I am close enough to the ground, the "darkness" and shadows seem to behave normally, and same on the KSC runway. But on the launchpad aswell, everything is black through my rocket launch, except the lights at the KSC. I tried to delete "scatterer" files after searching for them, that were modified on a much earlier date than today as I tried to reinstall, but that broke it in other ways, so I restored the files. So I hereby share to you my KSP.log and some screenshots of the problem I am experiencing. I have sent them in a separate DM as a google drive folder. Are you able to see what I have done wrong from the logs?

Hello! The mod looks great, but I don't think I can get it to work. I see no clouds. I tried installing it on a fresh install just to make sure there isn't anything else going on. Tried messing with the graphics settings in the game as well, but no success. Downloaded the "RaymarchedVolumetricsEarlyAccess16_07_24.zip" file and extracted the contents. I then copied the "GameData" folder into the KSP root folder to merge them. My GameData folder now contains: EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements Scatterer Squad SqaudExpansion StockScattererConfigs StockVolumetricClouds No Blackrack_TUFX folder as per the image in the post. Although, I guess that only appears if I install TUFX as well. Here is the KSP.log file as well. All I did in game was to start a new game and I could see there were no clouds. There were also no clouds on the background Kerbin in the main menu. https://drive.google.com/file/d/16DWOyulTJRaPSM1ZySRvu8lpwZYGLPR5/view?usp=drive_link Thank you!

Quick question, how does this behave when using Sigma Dimensions? Does it work with upscaling without the clouds becoming 'flattened' out? Thanks in advance.

The clouds are pixelated for me, I don't know how to fix it!

what are your future plans for this mod?

Wsg, For the OPM config, what TUFX profile was used for that screenshot? I really like the way it looks.

im having trouble getting it to work when i put the file into my ksp folder the clouds dont show up i the only mods i have instald is +flags, moduel,free iva and hyper edit is that a problem?

Hello Can anyone help me with how to use this mod and I am new to modding in KSP and I also don't know how to use Patreon very well

Hey do you know how I can get the aurora borealis for the atmospheric planets in the stock system

Hello, I love the mod, but my Jool clouds look too dark. I tried to mess with the setting but I couldn't figure it out. I'm not sure if its my computer, wrong settings or missing a mod. please lmk

mod is great but i cant seem to get the rain and lightning to work, can i get some help

I was wondering how I remove the standard eve clouds from rendering, (image attached) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ltsJ7dwP9hlLKPTkz4a2O-T6bH7tsZ8h/view?usp=sharing

Hi. Wow, this looks so great! Excellent job. 👍 I can't wait to see what you will create in KSA in the future.

hi great job, i was wandering if there was a way to have the city lights or isnt possible, if thats the case are there any mods that could do it?

Heya Blackrack! first great mod i love it! its a massive update over AVP, but are there eclipses in this mod? ive noticed that anytime the Mun goes behind Kerbin there's not shadow that goes over it.

Hello, They were working previously but for some reason when I'm close to kerbin or on the ground there are no clouds, They work when I'm high above kerbin or in the tracking station but it isn't until I get close the planet is when the clouds disappear and sometimes they don't show up at all

i installed and i see no clouds what im i doing wrong edit its says there is no config of the clouds

I will try to make this short but i thought this just added better clouds but when i first downloaded it (like 2 days ago) its much more. Great work Edited to say that this mod is worth every single penny

Hi, I just joined and have a question on the download. When I click the link for the "True volumetric clouds release 4" I get taken to a file "RaymarchedVolumetricsEarlyAccess16_07_24". I'm not sure if I'm getting the early access version or the proper version 4 release. Can you help? Thanks

do patreon let you see member only posts like this even after ending a membership??

https://imgur.com/a/IO1UEoT The mod is partially not working, there is supposed to be a thunderstorm based on the thunder sounds and dark terrain however there is no clouds and no rain. Now what?

I downloaded and installed in a new KSP install but for some reason, the clouds do show up but not as full as other people's screenshots...but the rain, and sounds don't seem to work for some reason. They look very light at KSC and don't get the huge plumes of clouds, rain effects etc.. am I missing something in settings somewhere? Also, I've done this before and it worked perfectly fine - I freaking love this mod!

Can you support your work with jonnyotans vr mod? It currently can be haxed to work with v3 but v4 isnt supported, i hope you get straight supportion method so we don't need to turn off any shaders or swap files.

Wow! I can't say enough how amazed I am with this mod. KSP deserved this, thank you. Can I give you a little idea? I'd love to see something done with the comets, like better outgassing effects, that would be awesome.

Hi, here's my 2 cent. I've just downloaded and installed your masterwork and am amazed by its beauty. The dusk and dawn moments, the weather phenomena (especially a terrific thunder storm just south of the KSC that I experienced) all leave me stunned. I can't say, but: Very well done!! I am amazed and it wakes an urge in me to play KSP anew. Thank you. P.S.: https://imgur.com/a/XxHgSau Wow, you're still developing more. Amazing. Can't wait to see. (-:

Hello i just bought KSP and installed this amazing mod, everything works as it should. Anyway I wanted to try out godrays but theres no presets in the scatterer menu. Any ideas? https://imgur.com/a/X541nua

Holy cow. This is the best £4 I've ever spent. The weather really brings the game to life and the clouds are pure bliss. You've really outdone yourself sir!

Hey BlackRack! Man, I am not being able to make it work, hope you can give a hand. I am playin using RO/RP1. I literally only installe the express RO/RP1 through CKAN. I then deleted the files: EVE, Scatterer, ScaterrerAtmosphericCache. I don't think there is any other that should be deleted, but please ler me know if there is. I also deselected auto updates on CKAN to be sure it wouldnt override anything I did, but doest seem to work. If you need any more info to be able to help me out, let me know! Thanks!

Hey Man, what GPU would u advise ? cause my RTX 2070 seem to overheat a bit i tried to tweak a bit Temporal upscaling and noise detiling but still overheat. I was planing a GPU swap anyway so ^^ The mod is crazy good by the way, money well spent <3

Salut, j'ai un problème avec le mod et des questions, j'ai installé le mod, les nuages sont super, MAIS il y a un espèce de flou de mouvement assez dérangeant et je voulais savoir comment l'enlever. Autre question, quand je quitte l'atmosphère et que je m'éloigne, les nuages ne reste pas volumétrique et je voulais savoir comment changer la valeur. Merci encore pour ce mod incroyable

Hi, can I install volumetric clounds on regular RSS (not RSS Reborn)?

Bonjour Blackrack. J'ai installé la dernière version de volumetrics clouds ce matin, j'ai désinstallé scatterer et EVE comme indiqué. Mais depuis mon installation, je ne peux pas lancer une partie sans faire face à une erreur fatale et un crash dès que j'essaie de lancer un vol ou de revenir en vue KSC, donc dès les premières actions. Je n'ai peut être pas fait les choses correctement, jusque là je ne moddais KSP que via CKAN. Pour information, je n'ai que 16go de RAM pour l'instant (j'en aurais 32go dans quelques jours), c'est peut être un manque de puissance. Dans l'attente d'un retour car pour le moment le jeu ne fonctionne plus. Merci d'avance.

Bonjour Blackrack, j'ai un léger doute sur les mods à désinstaller en plus de Scaterrer et EVE : Peut on garder Spectra ? Faut-il désintaller TUFX également ? (je vois qu'il y'a un dossier blackrack TUFX) Merci félicitation pour le ce superbe boulot !

i installed volumetric clouds for rss reborn and i have a bug where some clouds are black do you know how to fix this https://imgur.com/a/m79zpTk

C'est splendide, immersif, merci vraiment pour ça. Tout fonctionne parfaitement bien. Vous êtes des génies/artistes les moddeurs.

Hi Blackrack, having an issue where night time is a void of darkness. Is this intentional? https://imgur.com/a/yiKhLMG

❤️

this is art pure art i love it

My ocean is gone and the atmosphere doesnt work, im not sure what ive done wrong as this is the first time I've incorrectly installed this mod, any ideas? Ive tried it four times now. edit: it apears the scatterer packaged with it is the problem, even on its own it fails to work right, not sure what to do. but ill keep trying Neidon expansion for OPM was the issue

It seems to make my game launch in fullscreen even when i set it to borderless, is there a way to make it always launch borderless?

the clouds were working great until I started using ckan and I have no clue what to do

Hey! This mod is absolutely amazing but I'm having a minor issue, my clouds are really bright is there a way to make them less bright?

wesh grand vizir, c'est normal que les nuages ressemblent à ça depuis l'espace ? https://imgur.com/df9p2SP (si oui dommage, mais pas grave c'est déjà tellement beau de près) et sinon, je suppose qu'on te l'a déjà demandé quelque part, mais du coup vu qu'il faut désinstaller tous les packs style AVP, comment faire pour avoir des belles textures de planète ? perso ce que j'ai en ce moment est bien dégueulasse, et à certaines altitude y'a du tiling des textures et des LOD du terrain absolument affreux OMG ALED

That looks absolutely amazing! I only have a problem in VR mode. Half sky is black and water disappears. Looks like scatterer v0.0880 performs incorrect culling. My old scatterer v0.0838 works normally in VR but clouds are not visible. I will try other scatterer's versions tomorrow and will combine old scatterer with settings from the new one.

Do you know any exoplanet mods that have configs for this? Also, incredible job with the clouds! They look awesome and run really well on my system, especially with deferred rendering.

i gtg now ill send the jool one tomorow

nvm this is 1 screenshot showing no lightning or raindrops https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A37zGOa8hPLKmBYbJ-kGDnxCP69czhae/view?usp=sharing

what is your google drive name i cant share it to you without it

I paid for it and installed everything and it doesn't look anything like the screenshots. :(

Amazing work! I love to launch during a thunderstorm :) Is there a way to monitor/predict the weather?

salut , dossier télécharger mais toujours rien dans le ciel , j'ai du faire une fausse manipulation :(

Thx, I just got it and it is awesome! Dust storms on Duna are sick!

Hey man! Just wanted to compliment you on the mod! It looks beautiful flying through clouds! Keep up the good work!

You mentioned that you shouldn't reinstall Scatterer or Eve via CKAN, does that mean I shouldn't install them at all? Or if it's only via CKAN.

what popular graphics mods does this replace? you did an amazing job with this btw

Hello, I tried to install this mod but when I open the game I don't have the volumetric clouds and I don't know why, could you please help me?

hey blackrack, for some reason i installed the mod and i have the clouds and weather but i dont have lightning or the rain particals and i dont have clouds on jool, can you please help?

Hey, first of all thank you for all the hard work you're putting into this mod. I love how beatiful the game becomes with the clouds. I wanted to ask if maybe you have an idea on what could be causing this issue im running into in VR with your latest drop. The sky appears blue only when I look up directly or pause the game - otherwise its pitch black. Here's a link to a video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EZVAKVIj-JFL3o2a1bpUkTtzz5aMw8Nm/view?usp=sharing ps. I know this hasn't been exactly made with VR in mind, and I don't want to appear as if i'm complaining. But hey if there's a chance to make it work, I'll keep on trying to mess with the configs :)

Hello! I have this problem: When you look at the planet from the space flight center (even during flight), the clouds look “double”. Also, as you rise in the atmosphere, the lower clouds become visible through the upper ones, as if something is wrong with the cloud layers. Do you happen to know what it could be? I'm playing with RSS Reborn installed according to the guide.

worth it.

I've never had patreon but got it just for this/volumetric clouds. Thank you for creating something so many can enjoy & totally worth the payment.

If I resize Kerbin, is there a way to slow down the atmosphere fadeout? Right now I have black sky between 5-7k meters, and I'd like to about double that.

Hey, is this compatible with Astronomer's Visual Pack?

Hi Blackrack, i am having an issue where there are no clouds whatsoever in game or any other scenario, which i saw was similar to another Linux user in the comments, I'm running Arch Linux, and I'm also using proton to play the game, here are the log files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FaCCel_bJOj8yM0xLTl0j5wf3VW5sQtO/view?usp=drive_link

Hi Blackrack. I think these mods have a conflict with Tatjam's engine lighting mods / Engine Lighting relit, worth flagging as it's a popular mod. I was in orbit of Kerbin and the textures were black and messed up, after uninstalling it looks fine

Love to see the continued support for our favorite game. Excited for the next update (and KSA)!

I need help I installed all the mods but KSRSS and RSS, but the TUFX menu is not showing up, and Jool does not have the clouds.

Hey I got a question, should this release work on Linux? I am currently playing last KSP version on Xubuntu 23.04 and I cannot see a single cloud in the sky. The rest of the effects are applied (Well... I think, maybe some details are going unnoticed by my eye) Also, I can see a "linear shadow" below the Space Center view that looks like a bug. Thank you so much for this work btw, I am absolutely amazed by your work.

Sounds like you’re getting involved with KSA. What does this mean for your KSP1 modding projects? Any updates coming soon?

are red sprites an effect that you added because i just saw something that looks like them?

can anyone give me some solid instructions on how to get this working with RSS? just plain rss not RO or RP. i just want these clouds on a real solar system.

I want to use stock planets. What mods I should use for they look good?

Mine don't looks like that at all and I can't figure what is wrong.

Just to make sure, I should definitely not update scatterer in CKAN after installing this, right?

Is it okay to use it with "Astronomer's Visual Pack" mode or is there a compatibility issue?

The Performance heavy config is no joke, 4090 FE normal config ~100-120fps vs sub 60 and sometimes sub 30. What crazy people is this setting made for!

Is there any way to hide the clouds in the map screen/tracking station in order to navigate better?

✋Peak Gaming🤚 Thank you so much man for creating this! I was going to ask, do you plan on adding rain to Eve?

To apply the latest version of Scatter Should I overwrite the folder 'Scatterer' included in this mod with the latest version contents?

ok thanks i understand now sorry for waisting your time there for a second ._.

sorry for waisting your time but with what you said there are you saying that i put the game data folder (from your mod folder) just into the main ksp folder?

i did all of that exept the dierectory thing where is the dierectory?

uh i dont see a file named that

so do i put the mod folder into game data or not?

wait

ohhhhhh

i did but i dont really undestand it that well

hey i just got this mod and i have no idea how to make this work i dont have any mods installed so i dont see why the clouds arent even loading in can you help me?

The best 4$ of my life

It's a good mod, but when I try to create rain, black fog appears instead of rain. Is there a solution.

hey ! sorry to bother, but how can I tell what mods I need to remove to get it to run ? im not sure what is a config pack and what isnt

Thanks for the great mod Blackrack! I've been trying to get aurora's to work again with EVE 2.3.3 but had no luck. Will there be an update in the future?

Is it possible to use EVE redux instead of the EVE inside this zip? Noticed a 40 fps performance drop off and Im trying to find why. When I was using redux before I bought the volumetric clouds, I was getting 70 fps. Since removing and replacing with everything in this zip, I'm getting 30 fps. Mod looks incredible though!

Thanks for the awesome mod Blackrack!

Awesome stuff, is there documentation somewhere for us to create our own config files? For planet mods we like that dont already have them? Gracias

so I have have some problems with rain not showing but other than that everithing is normal, when I fly into the huricane there are the IVA water effects but there is no rain

do you have all the planets for KSRSS and RSS

Might I ask if there's some documentation for Volumetrics, for adding it to existing planets?

This is great! Your working wonders here!

Hey, I'm completely new to modding KSP and I'm a little confused with installing this one. Does this download essentially contain TUFX, Scatterer, and EVE already with it? And they shouldn't then be downloaded after, using CKAN for example?

Hey I'm just wondering if I could get the visuals of EVE, spectra, etc with true volumetric clouds. In the installation guide it says to remove them, Is there a work around where I could the stunning visuals of TVC and all the other visuals mods?

hey blackrack how do I use the performance heavy cofig?

yo my clouds are black, any suggestions?

what visual mods do you use for ksp? I literally use every graphical mod😭, but I can't seem to get the amazing visuals you get

How about a preview of the next update? or where can I follow your work progress? maybe on twitter?

hey blackrack, this mod is amazing by the way, i was wondering if auroras would be added along with volumetric clouds in the future, if yes, could you give an estimate when that would be?

Hi, great work on those clouds. I have installed it like you told in the post above, but it doesn't look like the pictures you are showing. Can you make a tutorial on how to configure mod?

i downloaded volumetrics and atmospheric beats folder via ckan (manually installation lead to the same results as this) and it leads to no 3d clouds being shown, scatterer working, and only being able to see the 2d textures of the clouds, i have no "ksrss patch" in my gamedata, and downloaded KSRSS reborn from the gitlab. not sure why the volumetrics arent working and heres the log https://drive.google.com/open?id=1srRLTrxT50TH9HfDkeG6vMzgn14FUvQ_&usp=drive_fs

Any plans or ideas on how it could be applied to RO?

Thanks for your quick reply. I have it installed and working fine, I did remove AVP completely before merging the GameData folders. Can I now put AVP back in? I'm pretty sure Matt Lowne has both going at the same time but don't know how. Before removing AVP I looked at the files in there and wasn't sure about some of them, whether they were cloud related or not. Am definitely enjoying the new clouds etc.

Hey so I have your mod and when I'm in flight the clouds looks low quality any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, can't wait to try out your mod, it looks fantastic. I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to following your installation instructions though. I'm not sure exactly what a 'config pack' is.I'm pretty sure that AVP is the only thing I have installed that applies, and if I understand correctly I should leave it in there for the most part. There is a folder AVP_Configs. Should I delete the whole folder, is the folder a 'pack', or are the folders inside (OPM, Stock and Textures) config packs that I should get rid of completely, or are the .cfg files inside those what I need to get rid of? Only OPM and Stock have .cfg files inside. Delete all of those files? Pretty sure that I should also just use CKAN to get rid of Scatterer and EVE, although the README in the download doesn't say to (but the beginning of this thread does). Thanks for reading this... I can turn the computer on by myself, honest!

HOW TO GET THE CLOUDS TO LOOK LIKE THAT SO COOL IT LOOKS LIKE CONET FAIEY

are there Kcalbeloh volumetric cloud configs of there are where can i find them?

genuinely love your work, keep it up

i beg of you, we NEED aurora borealis/ auroras in volumetrics, please broski

Awesome work! Have Downloaded RaymarchedVolumetricsEarlyAccess16_07_24 What would you recommend for city lights and auroras to compliment? Thanks.

Hi there! First of all, as a 3D artist, I must say that those clouds look totally insane! I just had a small idea/question. Would it be possible to apply this technique used for clouds in the smoke of the rockets? I think the smoke might take a massive advantage of volumetric rendering, which mixed with the plumes mod and the light from the thrusters would loo totally stunning. Great work man :)

How can I make more clouds spawn?

is there any way for the clouds to not be pixelated?

I've recently seen peoples featuring this mod, I found this so damn good, it's well made and i'm ready to support your mod creation ! I feel like I've bought KSP 2 but way worth than the og KSP 2, I will play with your rendering config too, I wanna make my game looks really good and make a worthy use of this graphic mod ! Thanks Blackrack

The best mod ever. Thank you.

The dust storms on duna absolutely slaughter my performance (60fps goes down to 10). None of the other cloud systems seem to hurt my framerate at all, even the massive clouds on jool and eve. Any thoughts?

scatterer wont load when I boot up and It causes the clouds to become highly contrasted and reflective.

Do you have any plans to add volumetric aurorae?

Hey! Loving the mod, I'm sure its been addressed somewhere but cant find a solution. I'm having issues where the sky gains artifacts like a compressed jpeg when I move the camera quickly or a fast moving craft. Any ideas? screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15oEye6MMCa2IdwUt554OBDngPXgQ-WR3/view?usp=drive_link

Hate to ask, but but in the EVE menu it says there are no textures and there are no clouds in the game, The log file attached

Hi, so for some reason my game just looks nothing like on the screenshots, i have clouds but not the clouds i expected to see. Logs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CNQMcJMMY7AbxmthdFc5ueCHSGWHyiE1/view?usp=sharing

I've that noticed that, for some reason, this mod (or perhaps scatterer) causes the rendered geometry of the main camera viewport to be displayed again in kerbal portraits when on EVA.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but when i try to open ksp whether through CKAN or steam, I'm met with a black screen that doesn't change. I'm sure theres a mod conflict somewhere but i dont know.

blackrack, it isnt working

Blackrack this is amazing and runs like a dream for me on linux (debian 12). There is one small but annoying issue, everything but the UI seems to jitter a few pixels to the left and right a few times per second. I tried turning off TAA but that doesn’t seem to make a difference. The effect is somewhat hard to see in stock but seems more noticeable in RSS, the following log is from stock with just volumetric clouds toolbar and exception detector installed: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/o1ma8yu72ntgvh0aj8b14/Player.log.7z?rlkey=x3p2euay30hi83oeu0ihdr86k&st=f1u76nmi&dl=0

Those plateau-looking clouds look nice, but they appear so much that they're unnatural. It'd be nice to potentially make them a rarer occurrence.

I have downloaded "Volumetric Clouds" and followed the "readme" but it is not working. There is no button for "Volumetric Clouds" and Eve says "no config." I am running this on a Mac. Any ideas?

i can only find version 2 of the atmosphereic beats for ksrss from jan 10, ive tried it on this version and it bugs out all the planets enviorments except for earth?? is there a newer version or what

Hi when i move the camera around it gets very pixelated more then in videos i'm wondering if i'm missing a setting somewhere that might help.

Hey Blackrack! Absolutely loving the mod and all that you do :). I was just curious as to what features the next release could entail (and maybe a cheeky rough estimate of release hehe). Again, huge fan of your stuff.

I've seen ray tracing on the ground when it's raining from other players, but I don't have it in my game, is there a problem with my settings? There is also a small request, can you add the wind system in a future version?

Hi, can we get settings for sounds like volume slider from 0% to 200%? Rain while on jet feels little too quite(I know it's realistic, but I want to hear this juicy sound of rain), and there's little bug when pausing, the rain audio seems to be "stacking", and becoming much louder, and fixing itself when unpausing.

hey blackrack, any idea where TAA-like motion blur / ghosting could be coming from? i'm using volumetric EVE+Scatterer+Deferred+Parallax. No TUFX. I've scrubbed GameData for anything that could be turning on Scatterer TAA, can't see to find any.

Awesome work! You are doing really well! The clouds are awesome and I am absolutely shocked at how good the game looks! The frame drop is barley noticeable, even on a 1050 Ti! Keep up the great work! If I could rate it, 10/10 from me!

I dont know if it is possible, but could you add thermals with this mod? Under specific types of clouds? Would be really really nice to be able to build and fly gliders, and with the visuals from this mod it would be fantastic.

Is the yellow hue to the game due to volumetrics? Or is it due to scatterer? After installing this, my game has the Breaking Bad effect.

are the clouds supposed to look like 8-bit?

Hi, im having a glitch that i don't know how to fix do to with the sky in space i can DM you a image but it pretty much makes space white. To my knowlege this has only happens on kerbin, i don't know if this is a mod diffrent mod running doing this.

Hey I'm running this on Linux and it keeps crashing my Desktop Environment, I'm always being sent back to the login screen. I've done a reinstall and I can confidently say that it's the volumetric clouds. Amazing work you're doing here, you deserve the money

Hi, recently installed this and i dont have any clouds whatsoever, no shadows or anything. i looked at the log file and it seems EVE cant parse the config files? i can send the log file in DMs if wanted.

hey im having issues with getting the clouds to render i can see the shadows on the ground however there are no clouds in the sky

this mod is amazing! is there a way to change the weather?

Just wanted to thank you for this amazing mod. Here's a link to a forum post I just made with some pics. https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/225704-modern-mods-are-amazing/ It's amazing how much this improves the atmostphere of the game.

How screwed is my 1660ti?

what do i need exactly to get this to work with ksrss, bc in update 2 theres the atmosphereic beats but on here is isnt, what exactly do i need

Wow I have 3070 RTX and I go up to 85 - 90 C° GPU with this mod, is it normal ?

Hi, is there any way to make the clouds look less tessellated with bigger planets? I am not using RSS but Rescale x10.625. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yFJybmR1VS8xeoP2bu8fOjH_jIQioWrH/view?usp=drive_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HdV8TQyy60_7A54a9WSvhN3II1PgG_Wj/view?usp=drive_link

i cant find any of the mods u said to get in the 4th one pls help

Hey, I am trying to use this with KSRSS, but the clouds do not appear. Any tips?

When using this mod I've noticed that I have good performance when in the KSC scene, but drop to about 40-50 FPS in the flight scene. Any idea why this might be?

great work on this! looking forward to auroras in future releases! wish i had spent the $50 from ksp2 on this lol

The lighting quality wasn't what I was expecting when looking at the screenshots, it's almost like I'm running an older version. I'm also not seeing any of the new cloud types, and am noticing the exaggerated blue edges around clouds that were supposed to be fixed. I checked and reinstalled the files from Release 4 many times, but the results stayed the same. Are there any settings I need to change? PS: The volumetric clouds around Jool aren't rendering, could you offer advice on fixing that too?

Hi Blackrack, I was wondering if you had ever heard of this mod : https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/199347-18x-111x-kerbal-weather-project-kwp-v100/ It's basically Kerbal Wind but on steroids with full Kerbin mapping.... It wouldn't be a surprise if Volumetrics and KWP mapping couldn't be synchronized - it's still a nice addition to a modded game...

Hi... Any clue why Deferred Rendering is making my IVA windows completely white from inside? Fresh install with no other mods.

Hello! Noticed an issue with Jool and Laythe - when viewing Jool with Laythe inbetween it looks like this: https://sayburstuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/16952916600942493696_43.jpg - any ideas if I've installed something wrong...?

Howdy, not sure if there's any way to fix this but I get SEVERE lag for any craft orbiting Jool. It goes away when I switch to the map, but if I'm focused on the craft orbiting Jool I get serious FR lag and it's unplayable. What settings can I tweak to make this go away?

Hi, I just installed the mod + TUFX + Deferred rendering but the cloud are on very low quality, it doesn't look at all like you're pictures (I have an AMD rx 6800)

can you create disolved clouds, idk how to express it, basicly flatter clouds

BLACKKRAAACKK!!! CREATE HURRICANES, AND MY LIFE, IS YOURS.

merci les gars c'est fabuleux

pardon c'est quoi cette folie svp j'ai attendue ksp 2 pendants 6 ans pour avoir ce rendus pour 4€

Is there any way to get rid of the lens flare in the scatterer that comes in the zip? Having it constantly on top of my craft while in space if the sun is on the screen is annoying.

Like others it seems, I'm running into issues getting clouds to appear. I tried to validate game files but that didn't work. I'm also running into the issue of TUFX's menu not showing up in-game, so I'm not sure if it's working and/or working with the right config. Could I send my log file to find out of there's something wrong?

I verified game files and steam found a few hundred files... It is now fixed, along with so many other problems I've been having lol Thanks very much for the help and this amazing mod

This mod really is amazing, tho I am unable to use any version past the first due to the clouds not showing up on any other version. I was wondering what some of the common solutions were since I've seen others having this problem. Otherwise I can send a log file.

Out of curiosity do you have any plans for volumetric planetary rings for ring mods? Would be super cool!

Hey, I just installed the latest deferred rendering and volumetric cloud versions along with the tufx config but the clouds aren't showing up - I can only see their shadows. Could i send you my log file?

Downloaded the mod recently and now everything except the craft UI is constantly "wiggling". I might have installed it wrong idk

anywhere i can find a rescale 2.5x config?

i dont see the clouds on other planets have i installed something wrong?

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but I don't see clouds, only the shadows, I found this message: No config! Please add a config with the content of "EVE_TEXTURE_CONFIG{}" to populate. How can I add config?

Are there any plans to introduce weather conditions (something like Kerbal Weather Project)? It would be great to have gusts of wind while flying through a storm. Hurricanes would be neat too. Love this mod. Great work!

Are there ways to tune the TVC configs (in the EVE menu or in the files themselves) for better performance on low end machines? If so, do you have any recommendations on what the best ways to do that might be?

Is there any way to "spawn" a storm? I want to show off this mod to my buddy, but I went through 60 "wait to sunrise" and no luck

Having a weird bug where being in orbit around the Mun makes the whole moon white. Not sure what's causing the issues, do you know why this might be happening? It only happens in orbit, if I'm on the surface everything behaves normally Here is some images to show what I mean, plus all the mods I have installed: https://imgur.com/a/40CAPcX Edit: I tried removing the scatterer sunflare folder but that hasn't made a difference.

how do i open the confic menu for the scatterer?

Hmm, I think cloud shadows don't affect shadows in IVA, however it affects fine outside IVA mode

I'd like to ask , is there any compatilibity between the Volumetric cloud mod and TUFX mod? Since I install both, however TUFX icon wasn't show up in game, thanks!

Getting back into KSP - very excited to try out your suite of mods!

Amazing stuff, thanks!

hi i cant see the clouds like that, do u have instructions?

I just want to say thanks for you time and effort that bring my one of favorite game into another level. Keep up the good work and hope you will not lost your passion on (Computer) graphics!

Is it possible to get this mod to work with Spectra? So that both run at the same time? I tried it, but both mods constantly overwrite each other, so only one works at a time.

the mod works wonderfully on windows but whenever i try to run it on linux it seems to break scatterer and the atmosphere disappears: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1143138980955688961/1262951622955372554/image.png?ex=669876db&is=6697255b&hm=383aff9febebd514fcf0ed0ae9ae4d9f10f5f20293eed437ae4e6e16a961ec77& ...what can i do about this?

Hey love the mods but my cockpit view is just white any idea how to fix that?

Thanks for the singularity fix! You are truly the greatest modder

Hey Blackrack, I just downloaded the mod and all of the clouds look very 2D and nothing like in the screenshots, can you help?

I'd like to ask - is there any compatilibity between the Volumetric Clouds and the Kerbal Weather Project plugin? In other words - if I install the Weather plugin which adds winds, will these be somehow reflected visually on the clouds?

This new update looks nice, but gives major frame drops in some parts of Kerbin when in space. FPS drops from 60 to 14.

New update seems to break the singularity black hole shaders :(

Man we are blessed thanks again for doing god's work on this game 🙏

Thank's for your Service for the KSP Community. Absolutely Breathtaking Mod!

could you elaborate on "fixed white scaled planets with deferred" ? I don't understand

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update! Just downloaded and about to check it out now!

I recently installed the mod but I've noticed that kerbin's clouds at the night side of the planet are black, is that supposed to happen?

I is Really bugie and i have water All over my screen and i see no clouds and the game crashed ?

I'm currently playing with a custom planet pack (made by a friend, it's mostly a mash of planets from a few other packs) and am running into the issue where on one planet, the clouds are black on the side not facing the sun it orbits, where the main system sun should be lighting up the clouds. Hilariously, Scatterer has the precise reverse issue, and has a pitch black sky on the sun the planet orbits, and a nice blue sky on the one it doesn't. Any idea what could be happening? Does volumetric EVE not support multiple stars, or are we simply having a bit of a skill issue?

I'm using Sigma dimensions/Rescale! to play at 10.675x scale and I noticed two issues: My clouds in atmosphere have a lot of tiling going on The cloud layer once I'm in orbit is really low resolution any ideas?

Should I try performance-heavy config on 4070ti? (with 5800x3d cpu)

Are there any plans to at some point add auroras to E.V.E?

THIS MOD IS BEAUTIFUL

Is there something basic that i am not doing correctly? I read the Readme.txt and i made sure to not have any of the other visual mod configs but i can not get the clouds to show up? they show on the M map view but when i am actually flying, they do not show up at all until you are within ~5km of me and each """particle""" shows up as a ~500m x ~500 red semitransparent square?? im not quite sure what i managed to do wrong. Edit: i am using one of the default presets, Kerbin-clouds-1 with the only change being the cloud height at like 5000m EDIT2: I had old EVE files and Scatter files that were meshing with each other, Problem solved, check yo files just like staging

does the mod only work in 1.12? or it also work in 1.12.1?

I tried installing Deferred Rendering today (thanks to Parallax compatibility) and sadly thinks look kinda weird. - IVA texts have some weird background that makes them hard to read (in some cases not readable at all) - IVA shadows look jagged - I can't specify what exactly is wrong with the lighting, but it just... doesn't seem right, compared to what it was before - despite anti-aliasing being turned on, I feel it looks exactly same as if none was enabled at all (I have both the "game" AA enabled, and the TUFX enabled - I'm using your config, the standard one) Can you please help me to find out which settings cause these issues? I recorded 2 minutes of my gameplay to showcase the bugs I encountered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0m8u1xic5o Here is the footage that I recorded after installing Volumetric Clouds, few weeks ago, (without Deferred) for comparison. Both are recorded in the same vehicle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkuBI2L-AC8

hey man how do I install the mod?

Love the mod, but I'm running into a bug with clouds on Kerbin rendering in front of clouds. Besides TVC, i'm also running https://pastebin.com/uzryYNnR. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/vG1tBUz. I'm on KSP 1.12.5, Arch Linux x86_64 6.9.7, Intel i5-6600K, Nvidia GTX 1070 @ NVIDIA 555.58.02

Hi BlackRack! I seem to be having an issue where when I am a certain distance away from Kerbin, or when I am in map view, the entire planet turns white (like it gets covered in a layer of clouds, I think?). This is only happening w/ Kerbin. Any idea on how I can fix this? Here's the link to the screenshots - https://imgur.com/a/Tuvhefv

im trying to download better kerbol and having some issues with the verisons of scatterer, is the scatterer on this page more updated then on ckan? because i keep getting the error "BetterKerbol v1.0.1 conflicts with Scatterer 3:v0.0830 or earlier" (im assuming this falls upon the "and earlier"?) Any idea what could be going wrong here?

the images look amazing, but im having a..peculiar issue when using it, jool for example, map view is correct but my performance tanks when i get into regular view near it, yet the clouds arnt actually rendered inside.. on 1.12.2, followed the instructions about EVE configs and everything, the alt-f12 console was displaying sometyhing about expecting 3 lines but there only being 2..

Hi! I've installed the mod (KSP version 1.10.1) but can't see the clouds. Is it a compatibility issue?

Hi! Loving the mod! This is a small concern but I've noticed ring objects added by Kopernicus don't seem to cast shadows on cloud layers, and tweaking the shadow caster config files doesn't seem to make it work. I think this is possible on a conceptual level, seeing as the mod can handle normal eclipses and Scatterer can handle rings just fine, but I'm not sure if it can be done with volumetric clouds in its current state. I'd love to give it a crack myself if you're willing to offer some pointers on how EVE handles extraplanetary shadows normally!

The IVA camera is a bit broken with the latest Scatterer build: https://imgur.com/xl1ibfe . Can also be reproduced with any stock pod: it is as if it gets a projected scene from the main camera ignoring kerbal movement and then it draws the kerbal on top of that. Same happens with the standalone Scatterer.

Hi, my EVE with JNSQ 10x doesn't look right at the edge of volumetric clouds fading in/out (around 160 km), where can i send pics?

What mod for sunshine?

I'm having issues loading in the clouds in an RSS RP 1 playthrough, I have done it before but I can't figure it out now. Could anyone help me?

Could you help me understand at a high level what Kopernicus and EVE do with textures for terrain? Sorry I realize it’s a bit of a broad question. I’m just trying to make sense of where RSS textures end and RSS “VE” set of configs begin. I’m assuming one wouldn’t want to mix and match visual enhancements with RSS textures from different mods. Really loving the new visuals.

Hi, loving the mod! I was very stupid and accidentally had both this and Sci-Fi Visual Enhancement installed, so I had the weird double-clouds problem. Since then I've uninstalled it but still see a weird mix of 2D and 3D clouds :( Any advice on how to fix this? using KSRSS https://imgur.com/a/6APSjKd (mod list)

Thanks Blackrack! This runs on Steam Deck (but just barely) can anyone recommend what levers to pull to help optimize for the low end?

Hello, I updated Scatterer and Volumetric Clouds and now the nights are almost pitch black. Is it an intended effect or a potential issue with other mods? For example, I have PlanetShine and Distant Objetcs installed. These screenshots have been taken around 10km: https://i.ibb.co/XWfZ19D/screenshot104.png https://i.ibb.co/kKVYKqc/screenshot103.png https://i.ibb.co/QQWGtX8/screenshot102.png My mod list: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fdsz4E0KtjmSzHoBmp_vGScaEzqyxPhU/view?usp=sharing This issue reminded me to add lights to my constructs, but I'm more concerned about not being able to know where the skyline is or where I am.

Hi Blackrack! I want starting creating some configs for JNSQ, but before jump into that, i made some testing on a 2,5x scale stock system just to figure out how this works. As a Terragen user, im very familiar with the volumetric dispersion, layers, and how it work, but of course im a newbie about Unity and KSP modding. Using the adopted version of sigma dimensions to scale up the system, leaves only the 2d layer. Also the textures for the volumetric clouds are missing/in red, in the in-game editor. I asked myself: are the clouds "below" the surface or sigma is really broking the EVE-TV configs? I know JNSQ dont use Sigma, so i can get rid of it, but for now i was just trying to figuring out how all works and assemble together, and nobody better than you to help me on that. We can talk in a more propper channel if you want.

Will this mod work with custom sunflares? (Like Maars)

Currently not working. EVE is working but it seems that it cannot find the actual cloud textures i think? ksp.log available here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F5wEK2WsejLl0nzHf6j9CQ2tgBK5mAaS/view?usp=sharing Image here https://imgur.com/a/dVK2Hmp

How can I utilize deferred rendering, is there a mod that I can download?

great work，thanks!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-7hXz84GUJwvT8D1zCX_0stgUgvol3Da/view?usp=sharing Heres the log file, again, again. (also please send the google drive for the correct EVE+other items file)

ill send the log file in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program" again after launching KSP directly from the files

Even after removing all other mods and dropping the GameData folder on the other folder, i still see no clouds on the menu and none in the game. Ive linked a google drive photo that contains a picture of my GameData folder, please tell me if anything is wrong with it and what i need to change to make it work https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SrtlldsTeZROd3q3-wm5UY9X8jTurj0k/view?usp=sharing

Im not too good with modding and im having some struggles, by "overwrite your GameData folder with the one included" do you mean entirely erase and replace the GameData folder in Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program? when i just drop the 4 things inside of the GameData folder, it seems only Scatter works (not exactly sure, just a bit of haze and im assuming its working) but i cant see clouds in-game nor in the title screen

I tried this method, but it didn't seem to work.Do Copernicus have any stable versions for use

Can you consider adding snowy weather? I love snow.

Hi! I have a question... It's "Scatterer Sunflare" mod needed? Or it's superseded by this? Or need to be removed?

Hi, Ive been loving this mod for months and its probably the best $5 dollars Ive ever spent but do have a strange bug that's existed since Ive installed the mod. When the sun is over the space center on kerbin it for some reason causes a shadow over, like there's a eclipses even though one is not happening at all as i look up and check the map. (this also happens with barely in clouds covering the space center) My only fix for this is to go to the moon and the come back which fixes the bug somehow. I do have Outer planets volumetric clouds config installed and a mod called stock realism that changes the mun orbit to be angled and removes Minmus from the kerbin system but I don't believe these should be causing any problems however I have reinstalled both to see if that made a difference but nothing changed. heres my most recent ksp log if that helps: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bgeu7p3cjf03rf920occt/KSP.log?rlkey=r7jfjh1zyuw8w8bgehrza6ypd&st=wml7cemj&dl=0

Holy crap. I picked KSP1 back up yesterday (after a year break) and decided to shift $5/mo from another creator I really wasn't following anymore to you. I wasn't expecting the thunderstorms and weather! I kept stopping to just admire the view & take screenshots.

Had to bite the bullet at get this as I come back to KSP this year, Does this have a config for JNSQ?

Despute all the efforst with getting my cash from bank to paypal it was worth it for sure rlly epic mod makes me think ksp2 was not needed at all :D

mind blown!...seen your clouds in a few ksp videos over time, finally got around to checking it out, this is way more than i expected. very happy! you are a legend for keeping the KSP dream alive! wish i could donate more (alas i am a peasant), you deserve it, keep up the awesome work :)

Fantastic mod. Absolutely worth the price!

Fantastic cloud effects - thanks to Matt Lowe for recommending.

Amazing 🤩

help please: The clouds aren't rendering but the shadows for them are...

This mod is incredible! I almost crapped my pants when I saw the first lightning strike.

The clouds from this mod look incredible! Unfortunately I'm getting a small bug where shadows from my parachute go nuts over water once I'm about 100m above. I've uploaded examples to imgur here: https://imgur.com/a/CmmTeLH The first photo shows the water w/o issue, then as I approach the water becomes black. The "black" moves around as I pan the camera. Any ideas? Besides this small glitch (which could also be from a conflicting mod...) this mod rocks! Great work! EDIT: Was indeed a conflicting mod. I have Astronomer's Visual Pack installed. Fixed this by deleting clouds.cfg from that mod. Parachute shadows now work w/o issue.

Unsure if there is a better forum to post bugs or issues. I'm running this mod on a Steamdeck and it looks awesome! However when I fly above the cloud line the clouds start pulsating solid grey. Also I can see the clouds through the ocean. You can see the issue in this (I sincerely apologize for the quality) recording. I've also included the ksp log file as well. I've tried deleting the GameData folder and only installing just the mod but the issue persists: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iIy-1LDmaxqlw1XGWV0hwXeZuQtcVhCC

I hope all is going well on Volumetric Clouds and just in general. Just wanted to send some encouragement your way! Thanks for developing the cool mods youve worked on :3

hello! i just tried the new version and it looks amazing, I cant believe im playing KSP1. Hoping to see what you add next! I read that you plan to make a planetshine version, does that mean I need to remove the Planet shine mod that I use once that is implemented? Also, would it be possible to add contrails that are visible KM away? Like a long, thin small cloud created by a passing plane, or a capsule re-entering the atmosphere. Currently the effects are local and are not "drawn" on the world, just you local scene.

This mod is just incredible! I installed it just the other day and I’ve already had so much fun playing around with it and flying through clouds. Also really cool to see you’re getting compensated for some of your time by having it only available on your Patreon. Amazing work man!

Hey Blackrack, love the work! Was just curious if there is any info about what the next update could entail?

absolutely in love with this mod! totally worth the price of admission))

what mods do i need all the clouds are black and gray and only shows on map view

I do not usually like paying for mods. But my god, this is worth every penny and more

Hello, great job! I have a doubt, when I look into EVE configuration in-game most of the "pages" are filled with tunable parameters, but some of them have these kind of messages: No config! Please add a config with the content of "EVE_ATMOSPHERE{}" to populate. No config! Please add a config with the content of "EVE_TERRAIN{}" to populate. No config! Please add a config with the content of "EVE_TEXTURE_CONFIG{}" to populate. Is this normal? Here is my ksp.log https://drive.google.com/file/d/1teh0_u0zGV1bEUh4TD8M-__XJR9O09wj/view?usp=sharing Thanks!

Amazing clouds :) I'm not sure if this is related to the version of Scatterer bundled or something else but I am sometimes having an issue where a black blob forms in ocean and slowly spreads to the surrounding pixels. I can reset this by looking away from the ocean for a moment or selecting the empty profile in TUFX. This mainly seems to happen when close to the water and using the Blackrack TUFX Profile though it does happen occasionally with other profiles.

yes, really good job Blackrack ! A great gaming experience !

This is so beautiful, will totally change KSP for me, more than earned the 5 dollars a month

whens the next update on this? its very beautiful and would love to see it in the fiture

Hi Blackrack, I did the installation for RSS/RO, following ballisticfox instructions, and the clouds look amazing, but I have not been able to see the trees and rocks that characterize the terrain in Parallax. what do you recommend me to do?

I mean lower end devices like lower end settings. I run this on a 7900 XTX, I just prefer it to not use 360 watts..

Hey Blackrack, a while back I was running TVC 3. I wasn’t actively playing at the moment, but during that time my GPU did fail. It was old but, with my new GPU I would prefer a preset for lower end devices. Is this already in it?

Love this mod! Is it compatible with the outer planets mod or do I need a separate config for it? The only one I can seem to find requires volumetric clouds release 3. Will release 4 work with that or will the clouds be bright? Can I edit these bright clouds if so? Thanks!

Love this mod thank you blackrack

Followed instructions and replaced GameData folder and now my game is completely bricked and wont open.

I love your work for a long time now. Thanks man, keep it up

I downloaded the mod but no clouds are visible. When I open the config editor it says "No config! Please add a config with the content of "EVE_RAYMARCHED_CLOUDS_QUALITY{}" to populate." How do I fix this? is there another thing I need to download?

Hi Blackrack. Mind if I post these screenshots on the subreddit? They are behind the patreon paywall, so I figured I should ask.

Hi Blackrack! I understand that you might not be able to say anything, but since you're on the KSP2 Dev team, do you know what is happening regarding the layoffs? Also, will True Volmetric Clouds development be affected at all if it is true? Thanks!

when will the next release come? how close are you to being finished?

Hi Blackrack, I visited Jool for the first time and I have to say the clouds are a masterpiece! I'm just wondering if there's any plans to integrate with the Outer Planets mod in the future, near or distant? You have ruined all non-volumetric cloud planets for me from now on!

I've been having an issue where, if I hit escape (to enter a menu) or launch the game using the VR mod, a lot of the visual effects break, the sky goes black, the ocean disappears, and all engine and explosion affects also disappear. Any known fix? Also, if there is a more appropriate place to bring up issues like this please let me know, I'm tired rn and my brain ain't workin.

Hey Blackrack, I really like your latest update but I was wondering if you will add aurora effects for the planets, similar to those found on Spectra because I think that it would be the cherry on the cake.

Hey Blackrack, this mod is amazing and I got it all working, but I see these awesome videos of volumetric duna dust storms, and I was wondering how to get them, cause I don't seem to get them.

Hi Blackrack! I'm wondering if you still plan on revamping reentry effects?

I found a very strange bug, which is If taking off from the ground, the rocket or aircraft will abnormally darken when reaching over approximately 5000m, even if there is no obstruction above. And then it became increasingly dark, until it suddenly returned to normal brightness after about 60000 meters. Strangely, if I directly use debug to move the aircraft to these heights, the brightness of the aircraft is normal. I only used volumetric clouds and no other mods. May I ask what may have caused this? (Sorry, I am using automatic translation) (Sorry, I am using automatic translation)

Hi Blackrack, new suporter here! Could you (or somebody else) explain me how the screenshot mode works? english is not my 1st lenguage, but i did everything according the instructions and the mod works fine, except my screenshots suck now lol. I deleted the AA settings from my actual TUFX profile, and tweak the settings file in my GameData folder, but i still getting hard-edges images. Any help would be much apreciated.

For me it looks like the lightrays underwater are broken, is it also broken on your end? It also seems like caustics are broken as well for me. :(

Hi Blackrack im getting a strange effect with the skybox bluring when moving the camera? Wondering if there is a way to prevent this?

where do i find the KRSS version and how far in development is it? like does it have all planets now covered by this mod

Hey, the download link seems to only go to VolumetricsEarlyAccess28_02_24 Is this V4 or did I do something wrong?

is it possible to make custom jupiter volumetrics for the consumer?

For the next update, or a later update, I'd love to see thin dust-clouds on airless moons, such as the mun/minmus. Similar to how the moon irl has a very thin atmosphere composed of dust.

Cool mod! Does it have linux support? Idk why but for me its a bit broken ;( am i doing something wrong? i reinstalled all mods and the game itself and time to time something breaks

Hey Blackrack! I tried getting this to work with AVP’s auroras, and Spectra’s. No dice. Naturally I’d much rather have the volumetric clouds over the auroras, so it was an easy choice on which to delete. With that being said, are you planning at all to add auroras in the future? Or possibly a compatibility update for people who want auroras since this mod doesn’t currently have them?

Hello, thank you for all this awesomeness! Is there a way to have Spectra and this combined (I tried but the sky just ends up black)? I just uninstalled Spectra and it works fine but, just wondering if there's a way.

This is awesome, I never thought I would see the light of day when KSP 1 gets awe seeing weather and clouds. Hoping for OPM Version Soon.

This is absolutely amazing! You are a legend!

Hey! Have you considered combining volumetric clouds with BDArmory/North Kerbin Dynamics to produce realistic looking explosions and mushroom clouds? I think it's a neat idea, not sure if its feasible though.

Hey there! I've just attempted to install the mod and it would seem it no changes have been made and everything effectively look stock, is there a fix for this?

Is there a way to turn on weather at my current location without flying around to find it?

These views make my soul relax and just fly around in the game. Love your work as always!

Is it compatible with RSS default, or do I have to download RSS Reborn?

hello blackrack, i was wondering if you plan to port this mod to the game Juno: New Origins? ive played it for a while now and graphics already are fairly charming but there are no cloud mods, volumetric or otherwise, and i think you being the king of ksp clouds would be the perfect person to pull it off, thanks for reading and hopefully taking your time to read this. have a good day!

Hi Blackrack, I ran into a problem with the cockpit cam after updating to the newest version of the mod: Under rainy conditions where raindrops are supposed to be displayed on the cockpit, the class of the cockpit becomes all-black. Is there a way to fix this, or are there any issues that might happen during the mod updating process which can cause this? Thank you!

hi blackrack, i have a question. i'm sort of slowly working my way through the config file and settings for the mod to find what i like and what works for me, but honestly even after reading through your config guide a couple times all the settings are pretty confusing to me haha. do you have more config presets available, or is there anywhere where i can find some made by other players? nonetheless, thanks for your work!

Does Work with RSS?

I'm having a problem where the clouds just don't show up. Like, ever. At all. I downloaded the mod, removed previous EVE and Scatter-related mods, took suggestions from Reddit, and it still doesn't work. I use 1.12.5. Am I doing something wrong?

Absolute game changer of a mod!!!! Thanks for your work!!! It might be outside of your scope to implement, but are there any plans to account for wind currents? I was browsing the forums and saw that someone is developing a wind mod with external API. It would be sweet to have your clouds/weather affected by planet atmospheric currents. Mod in question: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/223284-112x-wip-cpwe-configurable-planetary-wind-effects-v085-alpha/

Thanks for your amazing work! I was wondering if the weather effects will change dynamically or if you have to change it manually? And are those weather effects also included in your stock configs?

I understand if you are bound by an NDA, but I was curious if you will be able to implement any of these features into KSP2 base game. This is incredible and hope you will be able to implement all this goodness!

This mod is incredible buddy! Is there any chance you will be adding these clouds/lighting to planets/moons in the Kcabeloh mod with unique colours to each body? Ksp will be complete for me.

I can't get my install to work. Clouds only take up half the planet and they are only partially seen while in flight. https://imgur.com/a/mgGLHz0 https://imgur.com/a/NDInLzZ https://imgur.com/a/HJw53Io Tried reinstalling the mod over and over, didn't work. I have no other EVE configs installed as this is pretty much a 'fresh' install of KSP.

This is such an impressive mod, didn't think this was even possible in KSP

I can only imagine if we managed to have KWP and the storms in this be compatable

Excellent work as always Blackrack! Love the work you and Fox do! :)

does this work with 2.5 times rescale?

I've got an issue where i can't change my scatterer settings in game. Toggling TAA and SMAA does nothing. No TUFX.

Everything continues to look INCREDIBLE but I'm experiencing a small issue where my vehicles, when directly under the sun, such as at noontime, become almost black as if no light is reaching it though the rest of the world is lit normally. Have you ever encountered this and if so, any ideas for a fix?

one quick question, do volumetric clouds work with the rescale mod? like the one that makes the system 2 - 10x bigger?

Love your work Blackrack! Never know how much I'd love seeing mountains pop above the cloud layer and flying around that area. I've been away from KSP for 3 yrs and jumped back in with this glorious piece of work. Looking to fly in the clouds, I took off from KSC turned out to head to K2 and initially thought the mountains were removed from the game at some point. I was a lovely surprise to find them not only above the clouds, but also the Kerbal fun of diving through the cloud to find the ground being a LOT closer than expected.!

Hi, the new update from the 30th January causes all my volumetric clouds to appear black or grey. I'm not sure what the best way to get in contact with you is, let me know and I can give further information.

Hey Blackrack, I have a problem with the StockVolumetricClouds and AstronomersVisualPack. The AstronomersVisualPack mod adds auroras on Eve, Duna, Kerbin, Jool and Laythe, but they don't load once I add the StockVolumetricClouds. I remember that the Auroras worked with older versions of the StockVolumetricClouds. Currently I could not even find the problem in the EVE config. Do you have any idea?

Hey im not getting any clouds i dont know if I installed it wrong but when i open the eve setting the volumetric clouds apear as red.

Hey Blackrack, is there a way to change the quality of the shaders and clouds? it looks laggy and pixelated to me.

dawg wdym small changes the whole lighting system was changed I love this release keep up the work 😭🙏

Hello! I don't know if this is a question for you or ballistic fox, but I'm playing RSS/RP-1 installed this with their RSS Reborn and i'm seeing lower elevation clouds through the upper elevation ones. It's not a world-ending bug, but if you know how I could sort this out it'd be great!

I can’t install it. I think it’s my fault, as I’m new to downloading mods. Is there a video or something? I saw the description saying to delete configs, but I really don’t understand this stuff very well. Thanks.

also one thing that im not sure about is that on eve and jool there is some dark spots everywhere that i THINK are shading but they just dont look right and on the map view they dont appear

when i get close to kerbin the atmosphere just disappears edit: nvm dont know what it was but it fixed itself

mammatus clouds when

Really really amazing looking mod. wow. Is there a way for better Performance after i've got your settings, i mean it works fine but sometimes my pc becomes an airplane and takes off.

The KSRSS configs seriously suck.

Great job

Just went to Jool. "My god. It's full of stars!"

Hey, beautiful mods. I really should know this after installing mods in KSP for years but I'm unclear on how to install this over a fresh RP1/RSS install? Am I safe to drop it in a replace the files or do I need to delete old folders first.
