    Not impressed with how rude, condescending and unhelpful people have been in regards to helping people who are unable to open the menu due to the \ command not opening the menu. The written json keybind backslash does not exist on UK and some european keyboards.

    No one ever mentioned which keybind needs to be changed, the keybind you need to change in your controls settings to open the menu is called "Toggle Dynamic Skybox UI".
    If this does not work you can also open the "cktodbox" mod archive in your beamng mods folder, in there go to "settings", then "input maps" and open "keyboard_cktodbox.json". You can then change the "control" parameter to any key you want. This will change the binding in game without the need for changing it in your controls settings

    If you are already in game press CTRL + L to reload the lua, you can also restart. I would also deactivate and activate the mod in your repo just to be sure.

    Hope that helps someone

    Hi guys, I wanted to ask you why if I downloaded the Dynamic Skybox extension that adds those 8 more presets on the HUD it only shows 10, have you also encountered this problem? Or because I'm using it in a modded map?Do you have any suggestions? If so, what could I do?
    I attach a bunch of screenshots to my problem:

    Thank you for actually being a helpful community member. The forums weren't like this not that long ago, shame.

    This is a great mod, but can we get a toggle button/keybind to turn it on and off at will so we can have a day/night cycle without deactivating this mod?

    How can I edit the keybind ? I literally can't find the option to change the keybind in the controls thing, and for some reason the \ gets registered in my game as crtl+alt+ç, and when I do that combination in the game, it only activates the blinkers xd.

    Any tip or something ? Because its active, but I just can't change it. In a little bit of the touch everything stuff I somehow managed to pop the menu, but I don't even know what key I touched because I just touched everything.

    hi uhh this is the first time doing a message on a post but i love the mod and how there is a sub feature for weather im just wondering why there isnt a option to enable car collisions and player collisions when you add rain manually it has a option to do so and when applied it doesn't rain under ground. if it's possible can you add a toggle or have it on already? just wondering if it's possible so rain isnt under ground same with rain ammount (again idk what im doing this is my fist time posting somthing or a reply so sorry if i did somthing wrong) image_2025-03-07_134643688.png image_2025-03-07_135131167.png

    @Car_Killer Hi, could you please add Skybox rotation (with sun) just like in this mod:
    Experimental - GFX Suite | BeamNG
    You could inspect the code and get some inspiration from it? :)

    Edit: Also, could you please fix the following bug? When I leave World Editor, your custom Skybox appears although I had disabled it in the menu. I can't hide "clouds" and clouds1" in the Scene Tree because they automatically become unhidden again when I leave World Editor :(

    Been using on the autobahn map, unfortunately the evening sky pack presets add a horrible fog which you cant edit/get rid of but by god does the sky look great! Good job. Just need a slider for fog colour/density.
