September 2, 200223 yr Hello everyone,I am just wondering if anyone could name me all the Cloud texture files (default) for FS2K2 professional? I am asking this because I need to extract them from my CD to replace the ones in my FS now as the clouds I installed really eats into my frames when it's cloudy, I would prefer to have the originals back. But seeing at so many different cloud files, I am not too sure which are the ones I should replace. Anyone?Thanks, really appreciate it.
September 2, 200223 yr Commercial Member Hi, If you are using FSW clouds, they have the exact same performance as Fs default. The default clouds are in the cab cd 1 (cld1.bmp cld10.bmp). You can have more performance by reducing the clouds density slider to 60% or 50%. I have seen many post on this subject, it is cleary and a fact the weather will cost you performance on sim. You will have to make preference by disable some feature. Weather + performance is a challenge, fs2k was the same problem.ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFshttp://fsw.simflight.com/fsw.jpg Kind RegardsChris Willis
September 2, 200223 yr Hey Chris,Just got to your website, will those utilities like clouds, runway lights affect frames?Thanks!
September 2, 200223 yr Commercial Member Hi, No, fsw product are frame rate like default, when the frame rate will be a factor, it will be explained in the readme files.ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFshttp://fsw.simflight.com/fsw.jpg Kind RegardsChris Willis
September 2, 200223 yr Thanks Chris, I downloaded the complete set of clouds "fsswCld1" zip file. Does running the installer installs everything and I don't need to replace any texture since I see no difference in the clouds compared to the default ones.Thank you!
