MSFS2020.ARPC

Warning

This project is deprecated and is no longer maintained.

The issue solved by this project has been fixed in SU14, released on December 5, 2023.

MSFS2020.ARPC is an open-source patch that fixes the sky colors in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS2020) by replacing atmospheric coefficients, resulting in a more realistic sky rendering.

This tool patches the atmospheric coefficients in-memory, without modifying any game files. As a result, it prevents the patch from being overwritten with updates and offers a simpler installation and removal process.

This tool owes its existence to the discovery made by Biology2394/FarukEroglu2048. See credits.

Getting Started

  1. Download the latest release of MSFS2020.ARPC.zip.
  2. Drag and drop the dinput8.dll, MSFS2020.ARPC.asi and (optional) MSFS2020.ARPC.ini files from the archive into your MSFS installation directory.

The installation path containing FlightSimulator.exe may vary depending on where you obtained and installed MSFS:

MS Store

Steam

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator

Configuration

MSFS2020.ARPC.ini allows you to customize the patch.
