This is the final version. It appears to be working great in all tests with different sky and cloud textures and is also working fine in SP2 so expect to see the package in a few weeks once I finish the aircraft lights.

you are already seeing part of that in the shots above.

How many default aircraft do you run that does not have 'popcorn balls' for nav lights? and how many do you run that have bloomed landing and taxi lights?

Ah, I see, I misunderstood your post up above: "so expect to see the package in a few weeks once I finish the aircraft lights."

I just didn't pay enough attention to the airplanes in the shots. :)

Well, that means the lights passed one test,.. if you did not notice them then they can not be too overpowering and display correct scale attributes. Its also not easy to transmit what lights look like in a screenshot. There is more to them than the nav and other static illuminations. It is very difficult to catch a strobe or beacon flash in a screen shot and usually those require seeing the full animation in action to appreciate changes to them.
