A huge Thanks to DarkPopulous for this insane good Showcase.
It has now been about 2 years since I received Yossarian's permission to maintain Nevada Skies.
We had good and bad times, good and less-than optimal updates along the way, good choices but also mistakes were made.
It was a long and stony road to get to this point, and I fully admit that I also made some bad decisions along the way - but the end result is all that matters.
I present to you Nevada Skies 2281, my final and major update to the mod. From this day onwards, I won't provide any further support or updates to it.
I spent a lot of time to ensure everthing works as intended. I apologize if any mistakes or bugs are left in the mod - I am only human, I make mistakes.
Personal Note:
From crafting atmospheres in the Mojave Wasteland to building new universes through code and narrative. I am now exploring the architecture of reality as a Sci-Fi author, Vipe-Coder, and sound designer. Discover my books, music, and new projects here:👉 https://marcel.langjahr.org
