Making Atmospheres more realistic


Recommended Posts

So, whilst flying one day I noticed a rather annoying thing that I had never really thought of before. Kerbin's (or any other planet I'm guessing) daytime sky is: Black. After thinking a while, I had always had a disdain for flying at morning time, as it wasn't bright enough, or something else was amiss. So I would hope that one day we would have realistic skies, blue ones with sunrises and sunsets. The night time is just fine the way it is, but black skies is really an eyesore for me, it makes flying a little less scenic. Hopefully I would like to see this fixed for Kerbin and other planets, but I'm not sure if this is a beaten subject or has been brought up before. Just a little tidbit of my mind :)

Edit: Also, a transition from bright blue to black as you head into thinner and thinner atmosphere above kerbin would be pretty neat to see as well!

...Kerbin already has blue skies. Laythe also has blue, Duna has pink and Eve has purple IIRC.

It sounds like something is wrong with your KSP install, and you should check the "support" subforum.

If you look straight up, is it blue? I might have been flying high but the whole sky isn't blue, only the edges of the atmosphere on the horizon are i believe, nonetheless the sky's color decays quickly with altitude rather than slowly.
