To be fair and moderate my tone, you can find days and sector of the sky deep blue, but the shade greatly depends on the sector of the sky you are looking at, and as Jim said, the day must be dry, on late fall or winter. I made a trip to Italy recently and took a number of pictures from the ground that you can see here : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/frbouvi/photos/Italy/ Some are very blue : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/frbouvi/photos/Italy/37.html http://perso.wanadoo.fr/frbouvi/photos/Italy/50.html http://perso.wanadoo.fr/frbouvi/photos/Italy/59.html but the darker one ( that are darker than your screenshots ) are toward the zenith and the sun in the back. Otherwise, near the horizon, the shades are paler and the transition thicker like this : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/frbouvi/photos/Italy/119.html -Fred _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
