I just wanna ask where I can get the dawn/dusk sky that I have seen in a few pics lately. Or is it just a drawing,... maybe?

Cya,

If you are talking about the screenshots I've posted recently, you need first to download the Dover Night file or terrain or whatever it is...that changes the ground to "night" (without lights in the houses or at the airfields) and then you change the sky by editing the FogColor and ClearColor values in the particular mission file you would be working on. I am on Mission 11 out of 15 in my Dover Campaign Part 2- and there are at least 2-3 dusk/night missions.

Don't forget you can only change the sky color in the most recent beta version of SDOE.

You can intall SDOE again and upgrade one of the intalls to the new beta - that way you can fly the current version or the new beta.

...if you have the drive space

I don't know if this applies, but I installed beta 5 and it created a seperate program icon....if I want to fly online, I just choose the normal 'Fighter Squadron', and for the beta, I choose FSC Beta.( 1.5.1)

Maybe I installed it wrong?? Seems to work..

I am surprised you guys don't have more problems with desktopping than you do. You need to backup your 1.5 anet folder and several dll files in the fighter squadron directory and flip between the 1.5 and the 1.5.1 file versions of them (at least that's the only way mine worked)and is one of the ways MH originally recommended switching between versions without installing two copies of SDOE.

I also got the app.exe file, and for easy use I made a "snelkoppeling" (don't know how it's called on the english win98, a "fastlink"?) for it on my desktop, so on my desktop I can choose between the regular SDOE for online, and the bèta for offline.
