      The program is called X Tools. You can get it in the egosoft forum

    Okay, my 2 cents on this... First and foremost, great effort, you really see positive differences...

    However,  It works BUT...this mod changes the scale of some objects.
    Here are some screenshots to make it more clear.

    The object you see floating is actually a hidden missile launcher that normally is invisible because it's covered by the left extruding piece on the fighter as you can see on the second screenshot without the mod. Also all the puzzle pieces of the fighter are at the right spot without the mod, as with the mod, they are not.

    With Mod


    Without Mod


    I don't fly the Skunk, I fly the Gladius, which is a skunk redressed as a special purpose Triath interceptor. You can clearly see that without the mod, everything looks nice, while modded the pieces look smaller and thus detached. This will probably happen with all mods and ships that like the Gladius (skunkoverhaul mod etc...) are SKUNK-replacers and will probably fail to work correctly.

    The mod also messes with the boost somehow when installed in the root of the game and keeps the rumble active on the xbox controller. At least with my setup. I run about 200+ mods on X-Rebirth. I don't understand why that would happen since it only should upgrade textures. In short, the boost doesn't boost the ship anymore, but the rumble motion in the controller works and never stops. Of course if you play vanilla, and just this mod, that will probably not happen, but as I said, a texture mod should not interfere with other mechanics besides textures. Then again this is XR, and modding for this game is far from a walk in the park and it is a quirky little bugger.

    When you don't run that many mods and just install this mod and play with the Skunk, this probably won't be an issue and the graphics actually look nice for the majority of the time.

    I use this mod instead, and that one does not mess anything up and gives me a bit of a graphics buff...

    I run just tooooo many mods that took a long time to play nice together and its gonna be a PAIN in the A$$ to find out what interferes between your mod and the other...

    This was nice. 
    Tried it on flat X-rebirth. It did work. 
    Tried it with x-rebirth VR (the true game ;)), and it didnt work. So now ppl will now.

      First of all sorry for the late reply and thank you for testing my mod.
      I unfortunately only own the non VR edition of X Rebith and therefore can not port the mod to VR
      I'm sorry.

      The files in PNG format. The VR version uses DDS format.
