Can we add new images to the MSFS Sphere?

Post by DigitalAviator » Wed Jul 03, 2024 8:45 am

I'm very close to purchasing the FT LV scenery after looking at the CU8 version of the Sphere animations and they've hidden key code for the animations in the encrypted .fsarchive files. :(

So I'm wanting to add some other custom ones for Mars and other planets on my own system and am wondering if that's possible via editing XML files or FT LV?

Absolutely love the videos of the scenery and photos as I used to live in Las Vegas and wow, it's impressive. If we can add custom ones in to the animation sequence, that would definitely get me to buy now rather than later.

You should be able to, but I think you would need to replace an existing image.

Thanks, yeah I did that with the MSFS update, seems the animation is controlled by a VFX file which is obfuscated for the CU8.

Hoping that buying direct from FlyTampa that those files may be accessible to be able to add not just replace animations.

The sphere is showing only a partial animation. I can see half of the animation, but on the other half, it looks like a wire frame superimposed on the other half.

A guy in another thread is updating the video billboards maybe drop him a line. His work looks great so far and to have the Sphere updated would be great.
