Yes, i know this has been asked a number of times, but all the threads regarding this are pretty old...

So, has anyone so far been able to create a good looking skybox to simulate a mission into the atmosphere of earth (or any planet)? It is even possible? If yes, how can i do it right?

TI has, but it doesn't look like they want to release a HowTo.

Twisted Infities, mod hosted over at sectorgame. do a search, and i think you'll find something on them.

Thanks found them. They have a pretty skybox too, it seems, too bad they arent releasing anyting so far...

[color=cc9900]I'm in the process of developing a skybox for 158th, as well. I believe it can be seen in some preview thread somewhere in their public forum.[/color]

Sure, go ahead.

Are you thinking along the lines of porting the Homeworld2 backgrounds to FS2 skyboxes ?

[magatsu1]

minus the F22s it reminds me of Deneb in the FS2 intro.

Oh yeah, could a similar technique be used to simulate low orbit (similar to the effect in SNES Starfox/wing) ?
