Ok this ain't that important I need to know can I go ahead and replace the dds folder with a new one as that reflection mod doesn't look right, probably my hardware, will effect patch U20 if I do?

no... their just textures, you could put blank ones in and it wouldn't care

thanks m8 what is the general comeback on that mod anyway do you use it?

erm, i use a texture mod, dont know which one! i think i use one by someone whose Japenese, but i dont know! , all i know is that one of them came first, and i use the one that came second!

general comeback?
pros: looks nice; CAN look nice in screenshots (except blackwood unless your near a tree since it always reflects a tree), is much clearer than the default textures

cons: .. well, obviously it reflects things that aren't necesarily around your car; since it is much clearer than default textures, it makes a run for your money on your graphics card (if it isn't an expensive card)

i dont use it for the reason being 1, it looks weird some of the time; and 2, my graphics card has trouble handling the texture (on however many cars)

however, at some point in one time or another (i was planning this, but haven't tried yet) is to figure out where the default hemisphere pictures are taken in LFS, and remake them exactly, but giving them more color and a higher resolution

i thought they were the SKY_ in the DDS folder?

they are sky_xxxx_E in dds folder

sky_xxxx in the pic folder are the actual skies

I've got a list of them here somewhere.

BTW, I actually remade the original textures. Well, the same idea, real reflecting clouds and stuff. The original textures already have enough color I think, but, they don't have a dark edge. You see no horizon, that's, I think, the biggest thing that bugs me.

But it's not wrong if there are things on the reflection texture that aren't really there, but keep them small.

See the attachment for the two versions I last made. They're twice the size of the original textures (that is four times bigger).
The pics on the top are the textures to make it look real. And the once at the bottom are made too look nice.
