TOGA Projects, the team behind the fantastic ENVTEX has confirmed details of their upcoming product ENVSHADE. The new product makes this whole shader business within Prepar3D as easy as possible by providing a complete solution to shader usage. If you’re not aware, changing shaders within Prepar3D can make the sim look amazing. There’s already the great PTA Tool which will enable you to make a huge amount of changes and adds flexibility, but ENVSHADE will make this process easy for those unsure how to edit.

Coming soon, you’ll be able to buy for just €5.00, but if you already own ENVTEX, then you’ll get further discount off of that.

ENVSHADE supports both P3D V3 and V4 and will come with an easy to user interface to give you access to all of your TOGA products. The clouds, sky and atmosphere will vary depending on the weather, time of day and moonlight giving you a realistic looking simulator.

You can see the full feature list below, and we’ll let you know as soon as it’s out.
