Hmm. I use all the texture mods I have listed in my FAQ, which includes
Qarl's III, Enhanced Water & Improved Trees & Flora. I also do have HDR
turned on. It may be possible that the particular GPU I'm using, a 7900 GTO
could create a different visual effect than the GPU you are using, which I see
is a 7600 gt an older NVidia model. Although I am not absolutely certain.

It may be I just got a lucky shot. But all the images I have in my FAQ do
come from my own game & rig using all the mods I list in my FAQ.

Yeah I guess it could be the texture packs or a lucky shot. I haven't really gotten to see a good beach sunset either. My 7600 displays great for its price I think (comparing to a friends 8800 640mb model). I only take a few hits such as a lower screen resolution, lower fps, and smoother normal mapping, but my lighting effects are just as good.

I also use Natural Environments that could be effecting the lighting as well, via cloud coverage, time of day, etc.

Yeah I agree. I really don't think it's your 7600. I did get that glow ring
effect on the sun when I took the picture, and the whole sunset experience was
awesome ... I really felt like I was right there on the shore watching the glow of
the sun as it went down... and it was golden, moody, and quiet.

It may be my weather mod: Natural Environments that's the main contributor.

Any reason this isn't stickied. Or put up with the main Oblivion post. It's simply an amazing read.

Not sure. I know they're working on creating a new FAQ section/design. But given
the volume now of this FAQ, might be a good idea. Thanks for the
compliment.

It was the Natural Environments Mod that made the sunset look so good, it doesn't work well with my system for some reason though. Which is weird because I run Qarls TP3 fine.

Ah, that's good to know. I didn't realize Natural Environments was that
good! Thanks.

FAQ Update:

Corrected links, removed two recommended mods. Immersive sound conflicted with Natural Environments, NE takes precedence. Removed
Arena Fix due to problems.
