I tried to turn off the backdrop option to have a darker quieter space but it turns out like a bunch of stars squeeze in a square area as the image shows. How do I fix it? I prefer the density outside of the square. Please enlighten. Many thanks! The default backdrop is beautiful, I'd go with it without thought if I was younger and with stronger eyes.
Thanks to the devs for this wonderful mod.

Yes. I made it myself. If there is any interest, just try out my Old-Trilogy-Space.Ace Antilles wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 9:13 pm@MechDonald can help you on a black backdrop as he also prefers it I believe

Just copy the files into your Resdata folder and you are good to go.

Glad, you like it! Enjoy the blackness of space!

Partly. I used space engine to recreate them. I searched for similar looking planets from the original XWA and made screenshots from all necessary perpectives, edited them in Affinty Photo to get the correct resolution and transparencies. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it in my oppinion.korekwerner wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 11:05 pmVery nice planets. Did you make them?MechDonald wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 9:31 pmYes.

How can this be set to work with the Tie Fighter Total Conversion?
Seems the backdrop and skybox does not change while copying over the relevant files and launching TFTC, however it does work when launching XWA light side.
Can anyone help.
In VR the less backdrop here, the better. Thank you.
