FS9 Clouds,

Featured Replies

Hi All,now that I have set my visibility to 30nm and turned the autogen down to sparse, I can afford to use some better looking clouds,I am currently running the cloud set by Chris Willis from the FSW site, but they,after all are for FPS improvements,and although they do look good,I feel that they can at times be weird,or have a strange look depending on the type displayed by the weather in SB when connected to VATSIM,see attached shot,so I was thinking about going back to the default FS9 clouds now that I have the sim set up better etc, can anyone please tell me what disc No they are on, and in what file.thanks in advance for any help,Stevehttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/72813.jpg

Those clouds look poor because it looks like you're mixing 2-d and 3-d clouds... Try maxing the 3-d clouds to 100pct... Chris's clouds look fantastic--far better than the shot above. Take a look at my post here:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=searchAnd note my specs--the shots you see in the link all had a fps of 25 fps or above, with vis maxed and cloud draw distance at 30 miles...

Hi, Even with default you will see the same result with your pic above why? it's the 2d clouds impostor, because your cloud percentage is way to low and your clouds draw distant is 30 mile. Set the clouds percentage to 100% these 2d clouds impostor will be gone.Ps:2d cloud impostor have been created for better fps but can be easly gone with few setting.ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs
