Liberty City - Sky Full of Stars! Mod by MW and ThirteenAG

Now there is no more empty space above your head but sky full of stars this time in Liberty City skies, in evenings, nights and downs!
Coop work between MW and ThirteenAG led to conversion of great looking Vice mod straight to Liberty City.
Looks better with ENB series visual addon.

3.| Bugs:

- if you zoom in stars texture using on example camera it could seem to be sh*tty quality, however it is 2048x2048, so zooming is not always so good if you want to keep global effect nice
