Hi everyone, I have a pretty good system, P4 3ghz, 1gb ram, ati 9800pro and I am getting good frame rates with no clouds 30 to 40 fps but if I use real weather or a cloud theme my rates drop to between 15 and 22 jumping up and down all the time, very anoying to watch.Any advice? I mostly fly VFR low level.Thanks in advanceBarry.

Yes Barry, there are quite a few of 'em out there. Do a search on "clouds" in the file library. You should get severl hits.Welcome to the forums...

Thanks ponyboys, but there are alot to choose from, do they all look good? I am hopeing someone has a recomendation that they use.Thanks again.

The ones Chris Willis created are very good.

Hi, "Does this second set of clouds overwrite the first ones listed?. Yes, but only copy cumulus01.bmp, since there is others files.. ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs

Barry,Other than the FSW clouds, I found the clouds that came with the Blue Sphere Environment Upgrade Project also are very good. Available here at AVSIM.Shez
