Just to clarify a few things. I am using Flight Enviroment for my CLOUD TEXTURES. FS Atmoshere just changes THE "COLOR" OF THE SKY. FS Atmoshere has nothing AT ALL to do with clouds. Except how the light from the color of your sky reflects on them. I hope this clears up any and all confusion.

Respect
Chris

I just recieved this from the author of this project. Here is what it said.

"Those shots are incredible shots.By the way FS ATMOSPHERE puts color into the clouds. It also changes the sun, reflections, airport lighting and the aircraft spotlight ."

Hi Mobayrasta, you just sold me on FSAtmos, 9 euros well spent IMHO - thanks a lot. Here are the first 3 half-decent shots I got with it and FE...

It does do away with some of the extreme colour saturation of FE, which I like despite it's lack of reality... but it adds a lot of variety to an already varied weather package like FE, AS or FS sky world... the plane, scenery, clouds, all look different in every situation, and some of the effects it produces are really nice...

So now I have 4 texture sets in my sim lol - FE, FE+FSAtmos, FSSkyWorld for comps, and Golden Wings....

Oof, hope my comp doesn't get indigestion...

If you're bored of an evening - and you'll have to be - you can check out my screenshot gallery: Kriglsflightsimscreens...HERE

Where do you get FSatmosphere?

Never mind...it's at Simmarket!

Quick question...does fog look like it should?

Krigl those shots are fantastic!!!!!!!!

Jordanj. To tell you the truth I don't know. I will fire up FS in the morning and find out. I have only been flying with activeskyV and have not had any real weather fog. But I will load some up and let you know.

Well, to answer the question...the fog looks proper (not that yellow stuff)...

The only thing that makes me raise an eyebrow is the green textures come late afternoon in the winter (He'll probably get that in an update I'd expect)

Even considering that, it's $10 well spent!

I am glad everybody is enjoying it. It really does add that extra something flight sim has been missing.

For my water textures I install Vilks Water overtop of flight enviroment or birds eyeview. The file is vater.zip you need to extract it each time you change the water textures with FE or BEV. Only effects the water relections. I have really enjoyed the reflections you can get with Vilks. Looks diffrent from all angles. Here is a post I found on another site while searching for the file. If you scroll down you will see more shots of the reflection effects you get with vater.zip

I have seen Fly2E post shots arround Carribean waters where it looks like you can see the coral through the water. Those are the textures I am looking for! Just can't figure out how he does it.
