Hi guys, thank you for your feedback.

Currently I am still abroad, but once back at home I will keep on my work on DynEnv.

I agree with tonschk that the sky isn't as blue as with Real Env, but I can certainly see a difference, and a much welcome one too.
Not a deep, Mediterranean blue, but that's really not all that common on those latitudes anyway. The "problem" with the old color settings wasn't that there wasn't any blue in them at all, I could see that there was blue hiding behind all of the white/gray, it was, in my humble opinion, that there was too much white mixed in with them. With the new ones, not so much.

I can now actually tell the difference between clear skies and hazy, foggy ones

Also, what may have helped a bit here is that I did a full reinstall and restart because Trev, once again, decided to update his awesome OHII, which is what keeps me from ever getting past 1940 (I kid, I kid ) and, since I was having odd artifacts that I'd never seen before too, I decided to just start over again. This has also made everything run smoother and the artifacts (such as the ocean "resetting" every 30 seconds or so) have disappeared as well.

But I've done a lot of restarts before and they never changed the white/gray skies from DynEnv, so I know for a fact that your changes did something wonderful as well

Thank you Misha. I was expecting my fast skycolour adjustments not being right perfect. As a matter of fact it took to me no more than half an hour to adjust them. Actually, they were meant as a proof of concept, and according to the reports by you and tonschk I should conclude that they reached their goal.

No panic: this effect is an important part of DynEnv, and it will be restored as soon as possible! The only reason for removing it from the fix was the lack of time for putting it back in my edited envcolors files, as I used as base for my adjustments the "normal" (blue sea color) cfg files

Editing the new arctic colour settings, as well as creating my spreadsheet for displaying and fast editing of environment colours, took actually most of the time you had to wait for the skycolour fix. As the method I used for arctic colours will be the new standard for rendering better sky colors also for the remaining zones, I think all those concerned should take the trouble of checking wether my arctic settings are of their taste or not... In case I will not get proper feedback, I will keep on my work on environment colors anyway, but then, no complaints will be allowed once I will get it finished!

Thank you tonschk. What's the exact location of that mission?
