HD Moon Texture Replacement for FSX & Prepar3D – Version 3.0
Enhance Your Night Flights with High-Definition Moon Textures
Night flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator can be even more immersive with improved environmental details.
HD Moon Texture Replacement v3.0, created by Marco Fischbach, is a freeware texture enhancement add-on that replaces the default Moon textures with high-definition images.
Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Prepar3D, this lightweight modification gives the Moon a much sharper and more detailed appearance during night flights.
What Is HD Moon Texture Replacement?
The default Moon textures in FSX and Prepar3D have relatively low resolution.
This add-on replaces all 15 Moon textures with enhanced versions, offering resolutions of up to 2048 × 2048 pixels.
Compared with the original 64 × 64 textures, this represents a substantial increase in image resolution.
The result is a more detailed Moon that looks better during night flights and high-altitude cruising.
