Beta 2.3 is finally ready, and it’s a huge step up for the atmosphere in San Andreas. Here is a look at what’s been happening:

Aurora Borealis: As promised, this is officially out of alpha and into the beta version. It is fully animated and shows up at night during extrasunny weather.

Dynamic Clouds: I’ve added a second type of clouds, so the formations and styles now change dynamically based on the weather.

Lens Flare Shader: I rewrote this from scratch to make sure it is fully compatible with the new cloud system.

Vehicle Reflections: Car paint now has improved reflections that include cloud reflections throughout all weather types.

Night Sky: I redid the star textures and size for a more realistic look, and added dynamic night shadows as well.

Just a heads up, the road textures you see in the screenshots are a work in progress for the next versions. I'll be releasing a version with full Los Santos coverage soon.

And a quick note on performance: Since so much of the core mod was redone for this version, the performance presets for lower end PCs will be ready in the next update.

Thanks for the support and all the feedback!
