The 2nd one is cool... But the first one looks like 3 nebular puzzle pieces are linked together... Its strange...

Mmm.... Don't stick 'm together like that. Its not good. Either make 'm really overlap eachother or use the pan/bank etc. options a bit more.

ok, the patch is finished with some interesting results. I overrode all the previous nebs with the new ones so that any mission would use the new ones. Here's the first real mission in the FS2 campaign: wot do you think? Do i need to make them closer to the original nebs?

That looks...very interesting. I would say they need to be toned down some, or it could be pretty distracting.

the red nebulae is  a bit too bright. It looks like an expülosion rather than a nebulea. Make it less bright.

Holy crap thats colourful.
Is this done through a code change or script change or what?

i just used Photoshop 6 and a flaming pear plugin, they replace the original nebs in the effects folder.

Looks pretty good. I would recommend sticking to one or two colors only within a mission though, since that allows them to blend in better with each other.

ya, colorfull as hell. looks good though, just not for missions. Maybe not as many diff. colors in the same mission.

What i would be inpressed by is if somebody made some existing nebulaes, i know they would loook different from where FS is, but it would be siick if someone did that.

I like that idea. Give reality a shot. Might look a bit boring after that though.

Also could the nebulas be replaced by other things?
Like far away asteriod or debris fields.
