FS2K4 clouds..love em, but...

[Guest]

There's an odd bug in there somewhere. We've been having afternoon thunderstorms here lately, and they are getting the weather done right. Big puffy CBs all over, wonderful to wind thru in the late afternoon sun.But it appears there's a perspective problem somewhere. Many darker, smaller and apparently more distant low clouds show through the closer bigger clouds. So you get the effect of the more distant, slower passing clouds are looking closer, showing in front of the faster moving closer clouds. Also noticed this enroute at night, the low puffies showing in front of the closer, faster passing thin cirrus layer.Anyone else noticed this? I also wish that in spot view the plane would "fog out" as you pass thru clouds...After the dteailed clouds, it's really difficult to turn them off...nothing else like them!Dave

Hi, How did you set your clouds draw distant and your clouds percentage ?ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs

I'll tell you right now the imposter clouds in this game are very odd. They are jagged and generally ugly, and they have that strange distance effect that you mentioned. Even if you have a lower-spec PC, I highly suggest putting the 3D cloud slider at 100%.-Derek

Hi, The impostor was made for the performance, but you can easly fix this by using the clouds distant to at least 40 mil and the clouds percentage to 90/100%.For a high system, you can use anything above 40mil for the cloud distant and keep clouds percentage to 100%.ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs
