Summary
This plug-in adds a sky dome and fog effect to World Wind.
Sky and Fog appear as two layers in the Layer Manager. Right click on a layer for settings.
Choice of five fog thickness, two sky bitmaps and several gradiants. New bitmaps can be droped in the 'SkyAndFog' plug-in folder and become available in the settings - jpg or png. Settings are saved.
Install
Unzip the file in your 'Program Files/NASA/World Wind 1.3/Plugins' directory. That should create a new plug-in folder named SkyAndFog.
Start WW and go to Plug-ins/Load-Unload. Load Sky and Fog plugins. For settings, right click on layers in the layer manager (L key).
Note : only works with WW 1.3.2 or above
