Camera Woes

[sirkut]

I've been gone for quite some time and decided to resume work on something I started long ago:

I'm having an issue rendering the camera on my test arm for the first time. It shows the sky as being completely black. (yes this is Romfarer's Buran Arm that I've retrofitted to use my code, no change to his model,  just cfg edits to access the internal mesh hierarchy)


BUT if I exit to the Space Center then reload the current launch pad, open the camera, it then works:


What do I need to do for it to work correctly?

To add to it, something else is going on but this shows my inexperience in dealing with cameras ("smearing" of the image):

Hard to tell without seeing how you setup the cam
