I have to say it again.............ActiveSky is one of the best add-ons I have acquired in many years of flight simming, since FSII in 1984 on a PC Jr.I need some advice regarding the performance I am seeing. I am using the 32 bit FSW High Performance clouds, and when I encounter heavy cloud coverage my frame rate drops from 30 (where it is locked) to 10-14 fps. As you can see from my specs below, my system should, I think, do a little better than that.Do you have any suggested settings which might improve the performance?I really appreciate any advice.Thanks a lot,

Hi Howard,Thanks for the words!Lowering the cloud draw radius and/or sight distance is the easiest way to increase performance with heavy cloud depiction. Slightly reducing the cloud coverage density might also provide good results. There are other options including reducing the maximum # of cloud layers, turning off overcast enhancement, and not using extend tstorm layers. Please experiment with these to find the best balance and let us know what works for you! Hope this helps..
