Guys,
Seems im not really comfort with the new default sky in 1.28E/1.40/1.60 which it's too blue"cartoon" and not blended with surrounded area and makes the feel of sky environment becomes so small, im still prefer the old default EAW or at least same as in GOG 1.28.
But i can't change that because i guess it's already implement in CDF files right, maybe in terrain.cdf or 3D cdf..i don't know
Can someone enlighten me how to go back to normal Sky and Horizon to Old default EAW like this image?
Thank you

The sky is normally part of the theatre that is loaded. In the case of the ETO theatre there is also the possibility of seasonal terrains which are loaded based on the mission date.
They have their own skies. The only way you could achieve what you want is to download or extract your preferred sky files, and put them in the root folder.
The problem is that you will get the same sky for all of the different theatres that you use.

I have just extracted them and uploaded a zip file:

Default 1.2 sky

The four files are in the "Default1.2 sky" folder.

I put them in my "Default Theatre" folder in UAW160 and they worked when I ran a game.

1.28e uses the "Seasons" folder with 5 different terrains in the "ETO_01" folder.
The contrast between colours may well differ as a result of that wink

However, this is my 1.28e with the default sky and horizon files in the root folder
