Since new sky textures are being produced, it is probably a good time to learn about the so called "Noise". You will notice in the Random Skies download, some Bender textures are switched: what looks like the sky is in fact the noise, and the other way around.

I don't know how this works. Probably someone can enlighten us?

Delete the file "st_DS_0.tga", along the path B.A.T ModPack \ #SAS \ Random Skies \ Textures \ Light, it is with an error ..

... same with "sky-texture_DS-A1.tga" and "sky-texture_DS-M2.tga" (both also are 4097 ko) ...?

Some of its textures weigh 65 kb, and they look strange, I myself did not understand how it works))

Not really, even though they are also without an alpha channel. Well, "sky-texture_DS-A1.tga" is not very good in my opinion, but "sky-texture_DS-M2.tga" is more or less. In fact, I have not yet managed to make a good color texture with an alpha channel.

I finally figured out the alpha channel



It turned out to make an interesting color texture

BTW: It would be easy to implement support for bigger tile sizes in IL2GE.
Currently a cirrus tile covers roughly an area of 50x50km (this is just a rough approximation - if anyone has a more exact number please correct me ).
I could support this for example via specially named files like cloud_blabla_200km.tga (for a tile size of 200x200km).
Edit: Or via a config file for each texture like this:

Code: [Select]

Texture=clouds_blabla.tga
TileSize=100
Altitude=7000

This is cool of course, if possible, you need to try!

By the way, at the expense of water and FPS, are things still the same?

All the same, these textures also need to be fixed .. I will fix them and lay them out. They themselves were of poor quality, only 955x955.
Try also three new textures, they will be better ..) I got more experience

... many THX, will test them asap ...! 

At least this Koronavi Ruß thingie gives us more time for flying and testing, and building missions, as there isn't much else to do today, at least here in France ... 

The country will most probably be locked down in the coming days, like Italy and Spain ... 

Take care guys, and don't forget to wear your O2 mask above 3000 m ...!

Take care guys, and don't forget to wear your O2 mask above 3000 m ...! 

Thank you We will try hard!
