enjoy !

Those shots look incredible. Just amazing work 4L0M!

+1. Brilliant work mate

.

Wowzers! Outstanding mod 4L0M, love being able to see the fall colours now. On the clouds, one thing I noticed when I was running your mod while working on my Bostraincourt update, the high wispy clouds look rather flat compared to the originals and compared to others you have reworked.

.

Cheers guys. @RAF_Louvert, can you send me a screen shot please? Thank you.

Won't be until after I get back home, which will be quite late tonight.

Gorgeous, 4LOM! Outstanding!

Thanks BuckeyeBob.

So......I have made a cloud mod as a seperate mod from my FX mod. The reason it's seperate is due to the fact that everything in my FX mod I have personally made from scratch, but the textures in the cloud mod have been ported and converted by me from something else. All 512x512px original clouds are now 1024x1024px, and currently contains 57 different clouds.

I have no idea what the rules on this forum are for such a mod, so if anybody wants to try it, I will upload it to my website and if you want to try it, PM me, and I will send you a link. Cheers.

I am definitely interested in what you have done with the cloud files. In fact, I am currently in the last stages of working on a weather mod, which will be in two parts. The first part will be a simple replacement of the OFFHistoricalWeather files for 1915 - 1918. The second part involves tweaking the types of clouds found in the WOFF weather folders (Good, Light, Medium, etc.). However, these are just text file changes, as I am a horrible artist. So, I would be very interested to see how your new cloud textures might look in my mod. Thanks.

BuckeyeBob, there is an existing weather mod already out there. I think ArisFuser did it, if I can find it I will send it to you and you can use it in your mod. I loved the mod, but the lightening strikes really screwed with the FPS, as a matter of fact, on my system the game would hitch every time lightening struck.

Edit: Just sent you a PM with the old weather mod.

I'll be honest... I wasn't going to try this mod as I didn't like the oil textures, but I broke down and got the latest. Just when you think there's nothing else one can do for the Sim, I was blown away. The tree colors and rain were great.

And now a sky mod in the future.... I don't suppose you could make foto relalistic trench tiles..I've been trying for years to no avail. Think thats the last thing that needs a big change.

danke Dude.

Looks good 4LOM
Is it just me or does the sky look a bit too caribbeanlike bright. Maybe it's just me, but for me it looks a bit too bright for northern france.

Did you take a look into the effects to make your new flak spread and turn into mushrooms etc.?

Love the screenshots but I will second Creaghorns observation. I have no idea what northern France skies look like, but those skies colorations do look familiar to me and I live in Florida.

That said, your work is simply stunning so thank you!

Yes i thought the sky was too light as well but it may be just the picture sampling. I would have to see it in the mod to be sur.

This is great work you are taking on 4L0M. Very much appreciated.

Simply gorgeous, 4L0M!

These are from v0.65



There is mention of sky colors being too rich from other users, and I think the sky was a bit too dark for this F.2b noon flight, but it was a dark day. And I haven't seen v0.70 yet...so never mind!

Overall, this is just incredible work!

Hey, it just hit me. Why are my trees not winter trees around the airfield in the SPAD image? Is that the norm (this is January 1918)?

I haven't caught up with all these landscape mods yet, I just load them up!
