Not sure how many of you knew about this Sunglare Effect tweak I recently found on YouTube as well. Picture below explains the result without me saying much about it.
The tweak is good for both FSX and P3D. Download link can be found from the description of the author’s video.
To me, the original tweaked suneffect.cfg file coming with the package is somewhat over-exaggerated so I have tuned it down quite a bit. You can try my version (don’t forget to backup your original cfg first) by clicking the image above.
If it is still not what you want, you can further adjust the Size and Intensity values of the LensFlare entries (especially to those items having Texture=”rays.dds”) inside the suneffect.cfg for your ultimate result.


Hi Tom, can you reupload? Thanks.

Hello Tom,

Well, sorry, I dont find anything at all.
Is it possible to set the link here in your forum, please?

Hi Dieter,
Under the Youtube movie, you will find the second section “Published on Dec 8, 2012”. The link is there.
