hey I was interested if someway knows how to get the sky seen in the pic. My friend Chris posted this and I asked him, we tried same place, time ,season and wheater but no luck. I get a totally different sky. than I tried installed FSSW and the fix but still no luck. So does anyone know why? is it a specific setting or something? Thanx for the help http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/31991.jpg

I saw this specific sky color only once, while flying around the northern California coast at dusk. Sorry I don't remember the exact place or date, but I get the feeling that doesn't matter.One time I saved a flight situation for benchmarking purposes (because I was going to load the sim again with different video card settings) and I wanted every variable to be exactly the same so I could exactly how much my frame rates improved/decreased after changing the setting. To my surprise, the sky color was a different shade of blue when I reloaded the situation.Therefore I am lead to believe that the sky color is random for the most part, or maybe the sim randomly selects the sky color from a specific few depending on the weather conditions and time. My best advice would be to just keep trying, and keep an eye out for all these wonderful sky variations :-).-Derek
