I see the same as Reef - just at the skyline and around pylons.

I do now have excellent and smoother performance running all settings at max including FXAA + 3x3 SSAA.  Thank you!

I experimented with different weather/time situations with the X-Plane Vulkan version and did not find any sparkly halo effects.   There was just a slightly noticable lightening at the juncture of the land/sea/sky.  Pictures attached to clarify.   Keep up the good work - I'm sure a solution will be found!

Interesting point.  When next on the PC I should setup a flight in murky weather on X Plane 11.55 Vulkan and see if I can emulate the effect.

Again First without Vulkan, second with Vulkan:

(The white buildings in the first pic are distant factories, not the 'halo' effect).

Here are my comparisons, but I discovered that the 'halo' effect only seems to occur with rain added.    First without Vulkan, second shot with Vulkan:

I have also noticed  this along the distant skyline and assumed it was a feature of the scenario I was using for testing.     I will now check with Vulkan on and off to confirm when next on PC. 
 

in fact looking at Jareb's screenshot above I can see the identical white halo band effect along the skyline. 

Initial impression - I have Vulkan on XPlane 11 since that was introduced to the sim and  have been most impressed with that. 
So - now smoother, good frame rates, much less tile load stutters.

The only possible downside, which might be another change you have made, is that the shaders appear to have become more 'contrasty'? 
Train colours in low light times very dark with whites very bright.   If you haven’t changed the shaders, I will look for an alternative on the website.   I did previously find that steam locomotives were very dark.

Apart from the - great work thanks!  Look forward to maybe being able to run at a higher screen resolution than the monitor as I did previously?    I was running 2880x1800 on my 1920 x 1200 Dell monitor. 

Hi.  Have you had a chance to look at this yet by any chance?

I am still much enjoying RWE2!    

I am using the default shader and graphic settings and the visuals on buildings and modern trains is exceptional - thank you!    However I have recently been experimenting with steam locomotive such as the Black 5 and old pannier tank engines and I find that even on bright days it’s difficult to pick out any details.  Is it possible to have a 'switch' setting and the ability to easily change the shader?    I’m loath to change anything as what I have now is perfect for other than steam locomotives!

Could I add another?  In the UK 'Reading'  should be pronounced as 'Reding' ?

I now have more info which I hope helps sort out this problem:

The VP Class55 pack is installed in: Kuju\RaulSumulator\RailVehicles\Diesel\Class55\ 

Class55_JL_9014

Class55_VP_1 to 6

Sarc_PrototypeDeltic_Imitation

There are image files in each folder even though these do not appear in RWE2 Drive view (They do appear in Railworks though).  I carried out a test by removing those files and apart from a few blank images  in RWE2 Drive view the next Loco's appeared - interestingly they were VP steam Loco's,  So VP folders seem to take priority in Drive view.

I will send a pic of the Drive view as normal without the Deltic pack removed.

Hi - I realise you are very busy developing this amazing product and that in fact I have read you are a development team of one!  Amazing!

Can I provide you with any more information on the problem?    When I view the loco images because the VP pack had so many versions of the Deltic, none of the boxes have any images until I scan down the page off screen. Clicking on an empty box gives the detail and consists.   In Railworks they also appear first as well,  but all the images and information do show up.   I have also checked the VP website and it seems the pack has now been withdrawn, but there is a lot of info about it still on their website.

Might it be possible to give the loco information in the box if the image file cannot be displayed?

Just installed RWE2 - Wow!  I'm very impressed!

I notice that there are quite a nymber of images not appearing, but blank boxes are there.  Clicking the box shows the details.   Most noticeable is a large number of VP Class 55 Deltics, which all appear in Railworks.    I have tried a reinstall and recook of these, but this has not worked.

The other query is trying out my first scenario using the AP Class 158, the engine sound is overpowering (although wonderful!) I can hardly hear the AWS or horn - can you advise how/where I can balance this please?
