Hi All,I need to clear up a little confusion on my part. Is it a recommendation that you use FS Skyworld clouds with AS to enhance the visuals or just to improve frames. I just purchased (Friday) AS2004.5 and so far found the only problem I've experienced was the hard hit to framerates. After reviewing the posts here and experimenting (turning off overcast enhancement made a big difference)I got my frames at a respectable level that provides smooth flights and the clouds and colors are absolutely incredible. It's such a dramatic difference over the default clouds and skys that it has taken my flight simming to a new level.So is there an advantage to installing the FS Sky clouds that I'm not aware of.Your product, for lack of better words, is outstanding.Thanks,JR

Thanks JR and welcome,Both visuals and framerates can be improved. A lot more in that great package besides clouds. I suggest you take a look. You can always uninstall it if it doesn't fit your needs.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
