    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?
    Being able to fine tune the lighting in a screenshot is just my personal preferance, I like to move the 'Sun Direction' slider around to see what other lighting and shadow dynamics can be achieved within the screenshot that still looks natural.:D

    Just thinking out loud again....

    Could the 'Skybox' be 'MIRRORED'...it can not be rotated, so would having an Option to 'click' Mirrored Option...or just have 2 of the same, one as is and then choose the mirrored option...would this add more variety to the visual look without having hundreds of options.

    This could, once composed a screenshot with the existing Skybox, being able to click or choose the mirrored option would give different cloud and lighting positioning looks on the same Skybox.

    I really love this mod overall however the main gripe I have with it is that the skyboxes are very static. I would love to be able to adjust some brightness or exposure settings in the mod dialog box. But I do really enjoy this mod and am thankful for all your effort!

    having the same problem,UK keyboard. reloaded lua once. (as far as I know) the mod is installed correctly, albeit I am unsure of how I could check for that aside from it appearing in the ingame mods tab. restarted the game twice. pressing "\" does nothing.

    Sounds like you may have to do the same thing that I did to get it working :(

    I noticed that the included 18 presets are all static. Is there a way to have a dynamic preset that follows the game time of day? Loving the mod so far, but this would take it to the next level, and feels fitting given the mod is called Dynamic Skybox.

    I will admit I am wondering why there is the need to use the word "Static" if all the pre-sets are static.
    Logically this can only mean that there will or can be Dynamic skys, otherwise why have that statement in the 1st place?

    Perhaps this is something for the future?

    Please for the love that is all holy. Let me use world editor tweaks. Like sky brightness. Because my lord it would make this so damn good. I'm a decent beamng photographer. And with sky brightness tweaks. This would make the car reflection much more prominent.

    Also, I just thought of this, What if we had Nighttime skyboxes? That would be the icing on the cake.
