added new "Thick fog + Blue Haze", it has denser fogand blue haze in the distance, that completely hides horizon line

Installation



1. Copy content of "ReShade preset" folder into your Grand Theft Auto 5 folder

This preset was made to enhance visuals of new weathers, fix bugs and give it natural&realistic (in my sole opinion) feel. I do recommend using only this preset. It's all up to you.

2. Run OpenIV with "Edit mode" enabled

3. Navigate to update\update.rpf\common\data\

4. Choose one visualsettings.dat from available options included in RHancer archive:

5. Drag and drop visualsettings.dat into update\update.rpf\common\data\

6. Navigate to update\update.rpf\common\data\timecycle

7. Choose weathers&timecycles from available options included in RHancer archive:

Each option has it's own options, ex.: Low Fog\Realistic\High Reflections or Thick fog\Vanilla nights\Enhanced vanilla reflections

Low fog

Thick fog

Realistic (dark nights, bright days. recommended

Vanilla brightness days + dark nights

Vanilla brightness days and nights

Vanilla brightness nights + bright days

Enhanced vanilla reflections

High reflections

8. Drag and drop all files from chosen optional folder into update\update.rpf\common\data\timecycle
