Alternate City Horizon: Potsdamer Platzv1.000

Alternate City Horizon: Potsdamer Platzv1.000 Read Me

This is another 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 are.

-This sky/horizon edit visually adds a number of extra buildings, making it look as if you are in a much larger city. The I-Phone Ad, which blends in, was unintentional. You get the idea by now. See the images.

-Gravis City is just an example, Johannesburg Central is still my main one for Gravis, as my preference as it suits it the best, but I think this download equally suits it.

-You may notice that it changes your track to look like it is in broad daylight; this is the fake-day effect in action on a night track. Fake day means a night track but with invisible lights, and the sky textured as day to create an illusion of day.

-Remember, the flipped version shows the writings, they also show how they appear on the non-flipped example of your track. I have decided the idea is, if you are using two tracks that are similar, e.g. Gravis, It would actually look like it is in the same area.

-This time I recommend using just the flipped version for your track or the train station writings will be the wrong way around.

-Priority is whacked up to four as usual for a sharper image in WinMip2.

Installation

Place the alternate horizon folder in your track folder so you do not lose it. Place each horizon folder named Horizons 3D and keep a digital note on whether they are flipped or not.
Simply Place in the stars.mip, horiz.3do and sky.3do in your track folder outside the DAT file of the track, Gravis (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







Bugs

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


-I will be uploading each of these in "temporary night" i.e. dimmed, if you rather want a night version (dimmed though GIMP). The only issue with that is where there are buildings; they should be lit up in the horizon, but the team that does these may come back at different conditions.

-If you enjoyed this, you should check out my 2D and 3D Horizon tutorials links, where I explain, how it is done:
