data\
There is horizont.p3d and obloha.p3d models in this dir.
Textures are mix of 1024 x 1024 and 2048 x 2048 resolution. s_satout_co.paa is only 512 x 512 resolution texture.
All textures are _CO, _MCO, _NOHQ and _NOPX.
See also Terrain Select Image page.
de_middle_mco.paa is the middle terrain texture (config “midDetailTexture”). Its 1024 x 1024 resolution.
Layers\
Contain all the satellite texture / mask images.
<filename>_lco.paa is the texture, <filename>_lca.paa is the mask. Satellite texture resolution is 512 x 512.
scenes\
Contains intro.Desert_E mission, used as intro cutscene.
