A train station is where the train stops. On my desk I have a workstation...

Views with higher LAYER value will be visible over views with lower LAYER value. Panels and texts will always be displayed over all views independently of their LAYER values. So it seems, that its not possible A bus station is where the bus stops. A train station is where the train stops. On my desk I have a workstation...

What this means is that you can have the illusion of wide open spaces kinda like a background environment. Make a model box at default size in Med, texture all the sides with your texture choice, i.e. ground-bottom, sides-view, top-sky sorta thing, then build a normal sky box in med and have it twice as large as your area with a sky texture on it and replace the default sky script with Ventilators one; code: // The following script controls the sky sky cube { type = <skycube2.mdl>; layer = 3; scale_x = 55000; scale_y = 55000; scale_z = 55000; flags = scene,visible; material=mat_sky; } This is a good work a round solution that needs some effort to make it happen. Cheers..
