The moon doesn't look that good and I don't think there's a mod for it AFAIK (believe me, I looked far and wide). I've never had a problem with the clouds at night, but I use Skymaxx Pro and Real Terra Haze, so maybe those improve the look of the clouds at night. Here is something else you may want to try: http://forums.x-plan...ds-lua-scripts/

 

Also, you get used to removing static aircraft with the Overlay Editor after a while and it usually only takes a few minutes. I was also disappointed by static planes in the beginning, but the right models really add a lot of detail and life to airports. You can replace your static planes with better models that come with The Fruit Stand library (http://forums.x-plan...rcraft-library/) and the FAIB library (http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/29079-the-faib-aircraft-library/). Both of which are simply MSFS AI models converted to XP10, and they look quite good. In fact, I've grown fond of using Overlay Editor to fix up my airports and add just the right static AI planes. The great thing about XPlane is that everything is so easily customizable 

 

 

 

For the mean time, I was just able to delete the stars by going to Resources\default data\astro.dat and leaving just the header and the "99" at the end (saving a backup of course). I prefer having a complete dark sky texture rather than having "flying saucers" all over the place. Unfortunately I haven't had any luck with the moon. Trying to edit the moon.dng will crash X-Plane on start-up. 

 

As for the Lua scripts and Terra Haze, I will give them a try hopefully by sometime today. Thanks again hamoody!

    X-Plane 10 is being updated to version 10-50 and 10-51 is on the horizon to add additional airports. There is no reason to wait as you will be brought up to the latest version as long as it is in the

  • Lol!  It sure feels that way!     I kept both P3D and X-Plane for about two weeks and decided "screw it" and have been 100% X-Plane since.  I miss somethings about P3D and FSX but, mostly it's the O

  • I recently got XP back up and running.    Tried to go back to P3D but the night environment and the hard line/short distance autogen (introduced back with 3.1 I think) just kills it for me.   I th
