Dull life less clouds

Featured Replies

hi all! this problem has been bugging me for afew days. my clouds always seem to be dull and life less as shown in the pic. i installed FSW's Sky world, maybe im not using it correctly but still i get boring grey clouds. how do you work it to get those killer dark green clouds, p.s i have a GF4 ti 4600thank you

Your altitude above the deck will cause the clouds to gradually lose their 3-d look, and they will eventually lose their depth and appear like the picture you've shown in your shot.There is a trick though, but it costs a few frames.You set up a window in "map" view..., then shrink it until it's fairly unobtrusive. You then zoom in or out in the map view window, until you see the clouds disappear... In a few seconds, they'll come back with a 3-d look. You then take the window and "tuck" it out of the way where it won't be annoying. This works if you want a sense that you're flying over cumulus in the flight levels.-John
