    @Car_Killer Hello. I saw your response to my rewiew, I know that fog is same color all over the map, but I think, there still could be better options of color. Take a look at my fog setting for sunset 3 cubemap. It looks so much better compared to original settings. Idk, it might be just me. (my fog settings are on photos where world edit is opened)

    I see what needed to be done: add
    "startTimeH": 6,
    "startTimeM": 0,
    "endTimeH": 16,
    "endTimeM": 40,

    in cubemap section. Then it showed up. But still, even after I deleted the lines of "OverrideTod" (in German this is quite an expression, makes me think of Dr.Faust) it is not editable. So I will wait for the tutorial.

    This is great 'John Sandro'... was just thinking the same myself as these Skyboxes are an evolution.

    Maybe incorporate a 'Color Picker' and 'Fog Density Slider' for the Fog in the Skybox Menu Controls.....just thinking out loud.

    Having some fun creating more Skybox images in Jungle Rock....a superb Mod addition.

    Thank you for your words!

    Believe it or not, I'm on normal 1080p.
    I'm just using the super sampling feature from taking screenshots in BeamNG. It's the "Take big screenshot" button i suppose.

    Hope it helped!

    Btw my specs are R3 4350G and a 1050Ti OC -> on Ultra around 30-50 FPS.

    Hi I have a question,
    when I try to switch on Tool menu by: "\" nothing happens.
    I don't know whitch in-game settings I need to change to enable function. I want to change the skys. I already disabled all other mods.

    Sometimes once I have composed a screenshot then cycle through the awesome 'CK Dynamic Skybox' presets you come across the skybox that has the cloudscape in the right place...this is one of those screenshots and the cloudscape packs a punch to the visual appeal (Biased personal opinion only):p

    I have found it out on my german keybord for "\" I have to press "-". To bring toolbox to live:)
    (Do not take the "-" from the numbox.)

    Thank you for taking the time to reply in the 'CK Dynamic Skybox 0.5' thread regarding being able to move the skybox 360....what about the option to 'MIRROR' the selected Skybox?.. would this place the skybox image areas in a different spot within your screenshot or driving scene giving another possible variation of the same skybox image.

    For some reason I'm not having any luck calling up this mod using the "\" key (bottom left on a UK keyboard)
    I've tried installing it twice.
    The other mod I have (the traffic one that uses the "[" key, works fine)
    But "\" does nothing. I even tried the "-" as suggested above from the person with the German layout.

    It's all looking installed correctly and it's active.
    My key bindings are all reset to default.

    I have my graphics get to Normal.

    Any thoughts what the problem might be?
    --- Post updated ---
    Yes, I currently have the same issue, the "\" key does nothing. Hopefully we'll both get an answer. :)

    Try reloading the main LUA with ctrl+L after changing the keybind then it will work.

    Thank you for the suggestion.
    If I understood your instructions right.

    I yet again set the keyboard to default (I never changed it) but have reset to default many times now.
    Did the: ctrl@L
    Sadly the "\" key still does nothing.

    Now that´s not possible because it worked for me. The only reasons I can see why it still wouldn´t work are:
    1) you have not installed the mod correctly
    2) you have used an already used keybind
    3) you didn´t hit "ctrl" AND "L" simultaneously
    Please verify all these steps.

    Hello, how do I change the time of day? Or is it impossible to do this with this mod?

    I found that when in 'Photo Mode' the 'Time of Day' does not work....'Sun Direction' directly underneath Time of Day does work....I suspect there might will be a reason for this though.

    --- Post updated ---
    To the Author of this Mod.

    I have found that when using this Mod and setting the Sky that you want, once in 'World Editor' adding extra lights and adjusting the lighting in 'sunsky' for my Screenshots...when exiting World Editor all lighting that was set up disappears and defaults to what the scene was before going into World Editor.

    I have to Delete this Mod to make the above procedure work..

    Can this be fixed?

    Why do you want to change the sun position when there already is a sun in the skybox which is supposed to be synchronized with the game's sun.
