Cloud files

[Guest]

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.

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

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

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!
