light pollution

https://www.eso.org/public/archives/images/screen/dark-skies.jpg when you are near city’s and bellow 10,000 feet you see less stars but when you get higher you get or farther away from city’s or place of a lot of light you get to see more of the sky, would be cool to see the night sky in the middle of the ocean https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/579ef122725e2570d05d274c/1485768476862-735LG84US39BU1KA937Q/Light+Pollution+Visualization.jpg

also could be toggleable for low end users

[dire drift]

cool idea tbh.

[sacred sundial]

could go well with meteors and auroras

[tiny hedge]

yes

[small basalt]

hell yeah

[lime bison]

Imagine having a galaxy like this too the skybox sort of like this

Or like this

But only visible in areas very far away from light

Wait what about this and the northern lights

[cobalt drum]

Holy shit the night can look like that?

[lime bison]

i know the skybox has limitations but if ever someone finds a way to make a animated sky box this would be cool

[abstract flax]

yes

i like this

[elder sonnet]

oh this is a good suggestion!

i remember when a roblox storm chasing used to have this feature before it was removed.

[hollow beacon]

i want this

really would add to the atmosphere and ambience

[trim glacier]

twisted

This seems like something catboyfly would work on

[elder sonnet]

I was referring to Storm Chasers Reborn 6, but that'll do too.

[gilded hornet]

ok

im not a devver but

this looks hard

hard to implement

[lofty pine]

• laggy

[warm oar]

there's already sth like this

in the game

if you go above 30 km, the skybox slowly changes to show the curvature of the earth and eventually space

so you just need the same thing, at lower altitude and with a cool-looking Milky Way instead of a blue earth

[gilded hornet]

yeah but cities to cities is a bit

hard

[warm oar]

distance checks are used all the time for job completion

check the distance to the nearest airport
maybe add a few more points for big cities

[rough hare]

Cough cough... Ughhh light pollution

[stark walrus]

hm

[gilded hornet]

how would the transition looks like

since its a miniscale

[warm oar]

do you have an X-15 ?

or some really fast, afterburning jet

[gilded hornet]

nah

im also saying that itll be a little awkward transition tbh

but i havent seen in visually about light pollution

[storm escarp]

Make this more upvoted than emergency advisory system

[storm escarp]

Yes, I went to Sedona airport az and you can see the Milky Way with your naked eye

I took some fire photos

[latent estuary]

i might look into this

[storm escarp]

pls also look into galaxies and astronomy

[storm escarp]

ill add photos later. i was surprised, it is indescribable

took em with a normal phone camera. back in sfo right now and cant even see the brightest stars

[mint moth]

Would it even be possible to make the skybox change when you're flying near a city or town?

[abstract flax]

yes.

[amber oak]

areadata or whatever
