Every map load.ini has this section:

[CUBE]
Down  = Cube_bott.tga
East  = Cube_right.tga
North = Cube_front.tga
South = Cube_back.tga
Up    = Cube_top.tga
West  = Cube_left.tga

Does anyone know what they do, or where the files are located? I suspect this has something to do with the way the atmosphere gets whiter in the distance (annoying at night...) Anyone know for sure?

Should ask to Avala.
I remember him speaking about this somewhere but i can't remember the post

Quote:Cube maps (also known as environment maps) are comprised of a series of six images that correspond to the sides of a cube.
The purpose of which is to capture a 360 degree view of the player's surroundings so that in game you can...

-fake the appearance of a sky or surrounding environment
-fake the appearance of environmental reflections

Something like this:

Does someone have a example of how that would look like in IL2?

Very intyeresting. So presumably, the sides of the cube are generated dynamically by the program code? If this is so, then why have the need to specify the cube at all in the load.ini?
