Horizons Graphic Tweaks, Dreamscape Feeling & alii

Can you still make bluish milkyway? I used my old nice blue milkyway settings and it didn't change into what it used to be in 2.1.
 
After a bit of tweaking, I arrived at this. Made my jaw drop...
You can just see my Python at the bottom of the screen. Its transformed the game.

Edit: fixed it by doing all tweaks in the GraphicsSettings.xml directly instead of the Override

Increased HBAO intensity through the .xml with the following tweaks.
Note that I'm using extreme settings to really show the difference.

Before:
<PowExponent>1.8</PowExponent>
<Bias>0.5</Bias>

After:
<PowExponent>5.8</PowExponent>
<Bias>0.1</Bias>

Also since the latest update the galaxy background lost all its detail.....but apparently....its back on form again for 2.4 ?

Yeah, I was wondering, since I reinstalled the game about a week ago, after a 7 months break. No idea about 2.4 *shrugs* I used to simply make the gas clouds invisible.
 
Wow thanks so much for this Qohen, repped.

My wandering around the core just took on a whole new level of awesomeness.

Space in ED finally looks as beautiful as I imagine it to be (and as beautiful as my computer can make it).

I've just fallen in love with ED all over again.

I hope it still looks this good back in the bubble too.
