Okay, thank you Misha!

No problem. This is a team venture!

I agree with you that it's not the climatezones.tga file that's to blame, replacing it with the one from RealEnv simply puts your boat in a different zone and, besides, I've compared the EnvColor files of DynEnv and RealEnv side by side, and the only thing that seems to be different between the two versions (other than DynEnv having more of them) is the colors for the water. But, then again, I didn't go through all of them line by line, so I may have missed something.

Anyway, I uploaded the .TGA file from RealEnv. You can find it here.

I had download it allready, and what I am learning is confirming my theory. Thank you anyway!

Well, at least we are now pushing in the same direction. I agree that DE is "the best" and we have to find the "trick".

I understand that but i´ve never seen a sky like that in any place and any season using the original DE tga.

Compare the files and change Sky color was the first i did, with no luck.

Pedro, you got a PM

Okay gentlemen,

I just sent to Pedro a new patch, as he was so kind to commit himself for some other test. Hopefully this one will be the last one in a while.

This time I replaced the pixels around the Narvik area in the tga map, with the ones used for Polar zone. This patch should bring in game the same colour settings as the ones used after patching DynEnv with the tga map from Real Environment.

I've checked on PhotoShop these colours and, gess what, they got much more saturation than the ones used for subpolar and cold temperate areas. Now I want to check them in game.

If someone else wants to test the new patch, here's the link

Well, you´ve got it. Here it is with patch3-polar

Fantastic!

Now, since I just can't ever let go of something, how does it work for the other climate zones, such as the perpetually grey North Sea?

Gap is working on that , he has to adjust the rest of the zones, so it´s a lot of work, we have to give him his time.
