Okay, is there a way to make it so that only the kerbin one is there? I only want Kerbin to look like it is in the pics, but is there a way to make Laythe have a similar atmosphere?

So you are asking for a way to Kerbin the only one with changes, and Laythe have a similar atmosphere to kerbin?

Any updates on V4? :D

I've given Dres and Tylo a darker dark side, like the rest of the planets.

It's mostly erona(city lights detail), pingopete(multiple cloud layers), and rbray(fix for Gilly, Vall, Bop, and Pol) I'm waiting on now.

If rbray fixes those moons before the 20th, and the CLD and CL aren't finished by the 20th, I'll go ahead and release V4. They can be added in when i get them. Altough the CL and Clouds would be nice, I don't think they're worth delaying the mod. Then add them in like, V4-1.

Kerbin looks too real for my tastes, but I like and use the new Mun. There seems to be a brighter spot along the edge directly facing the sun but it's not extremely noticeable.

Regardless, this pack is a great starting point to tweak further from so thanks for all your work

BA, destroying white things since since V4...wait...now I sound like a racist...crap.

Okay, seriously though, this is what the new AFG looks like. How does it look?

And i was thinking of making Duna's AFG a little more....I dunno what word to use, but make it look more like this:

as apposed to this:

What do you guys think of this idea?

Thanks so much to nathankell for his RSS, allowing me to make this changes.

I think AFG looks great, and sorry, I will start working on it this evening, heading back to plymouth this afternoon, but feel free to go ahead and release V4 if people are waiting, MCLayers could probably wait till 4-1 as it may well take me a day or so to get it looking decent. sorry for the wait :blush:

Is BA compatible with Proot's pack?
I don't see why it wouldn't be.

Hmm, maybe I'll have to try both out at the same time and hope my RAM doesn't explode. Either way I'm curious to give this pack another shot at least. Interesting changes since v2, somewhat different from stock which was bothering me at first. But they have an intrigue of their own.

I just had to try this out and I must thank you for the fantastic job you have done :D Kerbins atmosphere looks so much better. I havent been to eve yet but looking at it in map view is awesome. My favourite thing is the shadows on the moon and looking at kerbin from the mun.

Thank you. +1 Rep

NOTE: I swear this has improved my frame rate.

I had to put something together to take a peak at it all.

The only things that I dont like is the upper atmosphere. It looks like a stark contrasted border and it is like clipping through a wall.

But all in all it is a wonderfull mod-mod :)

On v3 on kerbin i dont notcie any cutoff and its all seemless. I've just been to eve. And the atmo cutoff is really in your face. Other than that it looks awesome. I like the thick cloud layers. Of all the places I could have landed I managed to hit some ocean. Going through the 2 cloud layers was fun and I like the sun being completley obscured

The red color in Mars atmosphere is from dust,so shouldn't the changes to Duna be via clouds rather than the atmosphere itself?

Just wanted to give an update. The city lights texture I am working on is coming along nicely. I should have something to show and/or hopefully be done with it today :) I'm aiming for a super hi res version for folks with a lot of memory and can scale down from there obviously.

THat shouldn't be....I'll go back to eve and see if it's been fixed already or not.

I still got a Mem crash today, simply flying around Space Center and in VAB :(

Hm, are you 100% sure it's my pack that's doing it?

I've observed that memory usage does seem to increase on a per-cloud layer basis. Purely casual observation though, haven't properly tested it formally. So the extra cloud-layers could be causing the problem there.

No idea if it's EVE related, i'm conscious it was pretty pointless to share it here. KSP is supposed to free up some mem from time to time depending on where the player is ? (in VAB/SPH or in a scene)

I really wouldn't know much about what KSP does with saving memory, I'd suggest go asking in addon support.

First, let me say that this mod for mod is beautiful. But second, "Houston, we have a problem":

Any workaround/fix for this? There's also an issue with repeating cloud pattern (seen in the lower right corner), any chance of making it less obvious? It's a V3.
