Background artists, to me! To me!
Anyway, you know what'd be nice? Some uber quality hi-res suns. Someone did me a blue one a while back, but it went a bit dodgy at high scales. Nice effect, though.

If any one wants something to do, a hi-res sun pack would be A1 SUPAR :nod:

FFS, not only is my attatchment not working, but my FTP server is the creek as well. God damn, but I'm cross.

OK, what am I doing wrong - my attatchment rights are enabled, and I browse to the file, which is a <100k jpg... :mad::confused::mad:

That is NOT as impressive as a 400K inline image damn well better be.

Added more detail, looks better now. I'm trying to get some solar flares in there as well.

Edit - Justr noticed that horrible right angle :(. I'll fix it.

Too bad we can't have amimated suns, instead of simple images.  Then the flares would realy move, the patterns would shift, etc... (or can we?)

You know, if the sun was close enough, that would be really cool.

God bless Village Photos. This is what I was thinking of - apologies, but I can't remember who made it for me. Possibly vyper or venom... anyway, TEH PIC:

Ohhhhhhh... umm, yeah, piece of piss. 20 second Axion job. What do you want, precisely? Different colours obviously, different styles as well?

Well, yeah. Basically, hi-res, uber-pretty replacements for the retail suns, in Sparky.VP.

Trouble with the one above, it's not convincing when up close. The mission the above piccy was commisioned for was set right close up to a blue sun. The default sun, when enlarged to about seven or eight scale, was basically a huge white circle with a blue corona, and what I really wanted was a simply a higher-res version - to be honest, merely higher-res versions of the :V: suns is what I'd like someone to produce. Or something.

It's a fairly small project, but it would improve the game no end and fix an often over-looked aspect. Just think of the fame and fortune you'd recieve, as author of the Hi-res Sun Pack for FS2.

Oh, and I like the pic of yours with the flares. If you could get that animated, that'd be more than a little uber-:cool:

Well, there you go - the gauntlet has been thrown down :)

This sort of thing? It's 640x640, but can be increased without any major difficulties. There is some detailing in the white central core, but not an awful lot. It may be noticeable if you blew it up, it may not. If this is the size and style you were after, I can make more like it - they're very easy for our international friends.

Piece of piss
Meaning; As easy as urinating

And yes, if it's cold enough.
