The original release of HDE & HDE v2.0 created a high-quality freeware environment improvement for FS9. Many of the high-definition textures offered for FS9 were also easily portable over to FSX, except for the sky textures. From multiple experiences, the sky textures when placed into FSX would not allow the sim to start and would end up crashing session altogether. The problem was that FSX's default sky textures came with a color bit depth of 32, and FSX would read ONLY that bit depth. HDE and HDE v2.0 came in 24 color bit depth, so FSX could not read the textures and therefore could not create a suitable simming environment using them. This package contains all 140 sky textures in 32-bit color depth form, for usage in FSX.

Hello,

Following an experienced FSX sim expert, I was going to install Pablo Diaz's cloud textures, sky-textures-for-enb-series_12.zip. However, on researching his mods I came across your reworked textures.

And like the proverbial idiot, I DID NOT back up my textures folder.

Like a previous commenter above, now all my landscape is what appears to be in a whiteout.

How can I resolve this, please?

Hoping you are still active after this time.

Regards,

John F
