The one we've all been waiting for. SkyGFX is one of the biggest and most successful San Andreas projects ever. Not only does it restore the graphical effects missing from the PS2 version of GTA SA on PC, it brings a huge amount of graphical effects from every other 3D era GTA game, such as Vice City on the original Xbox, or Liberty City Stories on the PSP.
In this episode of the Mod Showroom, we'll cover how to install SkyGFX, how to configure SkyGFX, test the performance of different settings and more.

NOTES/UPDATES: -Small mistake at 32:22, the text says "vehiclePipe=Mobile" even though it's meant to say Neo. Just a small mistake with the text, the visuals and voice over are correct by showing and calling it Neo.

There's mod packs around, but I wouldn't really bother with them. They're often put together wrong and if you want to install anything seperate, you've to figure out which mods could potentially conflict or not. Plus there's the issue of some mod authors being overly protective of their mods, and don't want people "stealing" their work (lol). I'd recommend sticking to just learning how to install mods yourself :)

Hello, there were two editing mistakes when you were comparing performance: -At 30:37, it's supposed to be ' "dualpass=0" = 125 Avg FPS ' and the other one ' "dualpass=1" = 105 Avg FPS '. -At 31:03, it's supposed to be "grassBackfaceCull=1".

I remember modding back when I was young, it was so disorganized and messy, now thanks to a few years of experience and also your guides, revisiting modding GTA SA is much more cleaner and organized compared to years back. That and also being able to learn some new technical things about a childhood nostalgic game is pretty neat too! Thanks a lot for your videos ^^

Damn that amount of information I received from ur video is 🔥. You should be working for Rockstar! Initially I didn't even know how different the PS2 and PC versions were. I always had this feeling something was different in GTA SA PS2 ver. It's sad that Devs didn't do a good job porting this masterpiece well for PC. I believe the orange sky effect and low shadows were added, to reduce the load on PS2 hardware. But it's the orange sky in SA is what made it nostalgic and was loved by everyone 😍. Great video dude.

@flametornado491 2 года назад

Thank you very much for replying. And speaking of the Xbox timecyc, I can't say anything for sure about the day time but I've seen some unique sky colours during the night. I've seen a comparison video of GTA SA classic XBOX vs PC and a video showcasing a mod which ports the classic XBOX version improvements to the PC version in a Spanish RU-vid channel STREETSKULLS. The Xbox version nights have a deep purple coloured sky just like PS2 during some specific time and it looks awesome. As you've mentioned that the Rainy Countryside weather at 8 pm is broken in the PC timecyc, in the same way some other weather effects are also not present or broken in the PC timecyc which are present in the XBOX timecyc like some sandstorms effects in desert areas during the day or afternoon. Also, as you have mentioned that the spectacular lightings on peds and vehicles are broken in the PC timecyc, but this time the light reflection on vehicles caused by the headlights of other vehicles are broken on the XBOX. I'm not sure that this effect is broken because of some flaws in the XBOX timecyc or because of any other reason. BTW this effects works perfectly on the peds.

Could never decide whether I like the Original Playstation 2 version or the Original Xbox Version better. Each has their qualities/ pros and cons I love both versions. The Xbox version also doesn't have alot of the bugs that the PC port has. Amazingly on the PC version you can essentially combine the best features of the different versions with mods, get rid of of bugs, and have better frame rate and stability than the PS2 version.

The default settings along with the blur is probably the closest you’ll get. Using the seabed.ipl file from the PS2 version is also better too, it lowers the draw distance which also increases sun size.

disableGamma=0 I recommend to test it out in the desert on roads between Las Venturas and the abandoned airport. If set to 1, the nights are pretty dark, no matter how high you set the brightness. Car lights don't help to enlighten the environment. So the solution is either to set this value to 0, or using some additional lights-mods I think.

Hey TJGM please reply, it's important. You've very beautifully explained the differences between the PS2 and PC timecyc. I've understood that the PS2 timecyc is much better than the PC one.
