Well I have managed to finally put together a very nice 16k Summer cloudmap. I took the following pictures using the 16k PNG version which was pretty hard to do. It took Celestia almost a full 3 minutes to load it. But the results are amazingly clear. I am hoping that someone is willing to turn it into a virtual texture as I simply do not have to time and reasources to do it. Here are the shots. You may see a few glitches here and there that stilll need to be worked out but it is very close to release quality. So here are the pictures and as I said in the posting title the images are pretty large so the detail can be seen.
So if anyone the makes VTs wants to give a try at cutting this thing up let me know and I will set it up for you to download and do your dirty work.
BTW in the pictures you can see that I was also using an 8k shadowmap which help slow load times as well.
