Lave is Earth 8k
Demonstration .oxp (massive - over 136MB) showing extreme detail and city lights on the dark side of the planet.
About
This OXP showcases the improvements on custom planets that were made available since version 1.89. It basically converts Lave to Earth. It uses 8192 x 4096 textures for diffuse + city lights and normal + specular (or, rather, gloss) maps. This allows for high details on the surface from any distance to the planet. Obviously, with such texture size, it is recommended that you use this OXP on reasonably powerful systems. Intel graphics cards will have a hard time with it.
