Alternate City Horizon v1.000

Alternate City Horizon Example Read Me

This is an example alternate must have 8k horizon for a city track from HDRI Haven/Poly Haven.com (Thanks Guys), and shows you just how amazing having these in your tracks really are.

If you haven't already, check my 3D Horizon Tutorialv1 on stunod for how to acquire and use yours, also, more information is coming soon.

Also included is a reversed flipped image this is the actuall image as it displays the writings on buildings correctly. (It turns out you have to flip the image horizontally in paint to display it properly).

The BMP image is just an example.

Installation

Place the alternate horizon folder in your track folder so you don't lose it.

Simply Place in the stars.mip, horiz.3do and sky.3do in your track folder outside the DAT file of the track (or any night track if you like!).

If Track Has Files Outside The DAT File + Unpack Open

Remember to back up all the original horiz.3do, horiz01.mip, horiz02.mip, horizon.mip, ground_n2k3.mip ground, sky.3dos and mips first, (If GPL horizon it would be: horiz0.mip to horiz11.mip, ground.mip, horiz.3do, sky.3do, sky.mip) then place the alternate stars.mip, horiz and sky in it's place, do the same if you also have unpack open in your tracks folder.

This is an example of how it looks on Gravis City (Suggestion)

Gravis City Zone 7









Gravis City Zone 11







I am currently using the non-flipped version for zone7 and the flipped version for zone11. (Recommended) I did not use any sky rotation, I just placed in the files; it blends in really well on it's own with this track!

NOTE: efr .com does not have any track mip files so I uploaded it under tracks.

Enjoy

Bugs

Not really a bug, but you do see more of the horizon with PTA physics. (same with any XL horizons).

May be some weird shadows off some cars, turn shadows off if necessary. Understand that the sky.3do is not meant entirely for lighting so can only work on fakeday/night tracks. (Or could be just the V8 Indycar Mod, it does that on other tracks by the way).

Fake day means a night track but with invisible lights, and the sky textured as day to create an illusion of day.

This is allowed in Track Mip Files as it does not actually contain a track file, just a .mip edit which can also be applied to other tracks. The use of Gravis City is just an example and can be used for any (night) track see my 3D Horizon tutorial for more details.
