Very nice!
Only a couple of suggestions (there's so much to learn
) -
In Atmosphere - I'd cut the Main Tab, Haze Density to 1 or 2. Move your Height Control Tab, Haze Exp Height to 3500 (just for starts). Tweaks Tab, Fake Dark Power to .2 and Quality Tab, Number of Samples to at least 32 or more (try 32 first).
Clouds - change the Quality Tab, Samples to 64. Make sure you are using 3D clouds (under Quality, Rendering Method dropdown list)
Find the beginning tutorial by Oshyan and then do it. Take what you learn from that and put it into this beginning of a beauty here.
So many things you'll be able to do with this later, so keep learning and do what you can, but don't get rid of it. Come back in a couple of months and then apply what you know. You'll be thrilled with what you can do.
That's a pretty good class with LVS. The nice thing about the class is it goes through everything from beginning to end and at least gives you a base for how it all works in some coherent form. What you learn on the Planetside website is usually intensive and specific. Not bad, but it doesn't help if you don't have the very basics down. Don't get discouraged. A lot of people here are very helpful as well.
