HDE v.2 Cirrus

Featured Replies

Hello , first gracias to Pablo Diaz for the excellent freeware package! I have only 2 small doubts , the folder which contains the Cirrus clouds are Only for cirrus or they change other type of clouds? And i see some of them are 1024x1024 , so how much it affects frame rates? I fly in a Acer 5012 laptop and installed the normal 512x Cumulus , so how about the Cirrus package?Thank youAlexandre Cortez

Its a great package.Yes the cirrus clouds affect only the cirrus textures and the look and density of the overcast layer.I found the hd textures too heavy on my machine and I therefore downscaled them to 512x512 using dxt bmp & photoshop.

Thanks for the reply. i ill test them and find how they work with me . Resizing them could be a nice option ,to keep the nice clouds and have better frame rates indeed.But why use both programs?

I don't think the cirrus clouds are the real FPS killers, but HDEv2 is supplied with several different performance variations of cumulus01.bmp, which is the killer. If you find your frames taking a hit in heavy cumulus, try one of the smaller variations of cumulus01.bmp supplied in the package.Jim

Good point Jim!.The cumulus01.bmp has major ramifications on fps if it is too large in size,and you are flying in dense cloud cover.
