It is vanilla fs2, from "the time before SCP".  It is also low res, on a low end machine.  But that is an easy example of what you can do with scaling and orientation.


You forgot the after shot;

Not the tool, I'm looking for those really cool BACKGROUND NEBULAS.... Lightspeeds stuff...

Say, is that included in the latest VP?


The latest mediaVP has his version of the retail nebulas, yes.

There was an mv_nebulae some time back, but it was removed because none of the nebulas were part of retail FS2. That has Lightspeed's pre-retail nebulas, if he doesn't still have them up for download somewhere.

Under work in progress there is only the shinemaps and glowmaps..nothing else.

I've searched Millways from top to bottom, but haven't found those nebula backgrounds...
