If you look at the picture below, you can clearly see that the clouds are cut off in a straight line. I have tried lowering and increasing the draw distance for the clouds and that doesn't fix it. Someone please help. Does anyone else have this problem?

 

 

This is not a 'problem' but has something to do with your cloud draw radius. Those cirrus clouds are at a much higher altitude as compared to the cummulus clouds. Both are drawn with the same radius around your aircraft however.

 

What you can do is to either check whether your cloud draw radius is at its highest or set the maxiumum visibilty in your weather program to the cloud draw distance or lower. If you're using FSX internal weather you can also set visibility in the custom weather options. If you are using FSX internal real time weather then there is nothing you can do except hope for worse weather ... ;-)

I am using OpusFSX, and REX+OD for cloud textures. I have already tried setting the cloud draw distance to the lowest and highest and everything in between and it still cuts off. This only happens on the highest layer for the clouds.

 

My Cloud draw distance is at the max setting in FSX at 110mi/176km.

Ok, then in Opus set the visibility to something like 32 km or a bit more. This is a limitation of FSX, if your visibility is greater than the cloud draw distance you will get this strange result. As i said, the upper cloud layer is at a higher altitude which is why you see more if that layer than you see of the lower cloud layer. But both layers hav the same size around your aircraft.

I tried 32km, and I can still see the straight line. Perhaps if I change the cirrus cloud texture in REX maybe? I don't see anyone else with this issue.

Hmm, canyou post another screenshot with opus set to 32km? :-)

Perhaps if I change the cirrus cloud texture in REX maybe? .

Yes, use a different cirrus set. The problem with the cirrus set your running is that the cloud pattern is too defined and recognizible. Choose a cirrus set that is more subdued with a more random pattern and you wont recognize this as much on the sim.

The recommended Weather Preferences settings are,

 

Auto Cirrus Clouds  ...  YES, ticked

Disable Cirrus Clouds  ...  NO, unticked

Cirrus Altitude Range  ...  38000 to 44000 feet

 

I also believe there is a issue with REX cirrus texture. There is a cirrus replacement texture in the OpusFSX root folder that needs to be copied and pasted into your main texture folder initially. But

I think that texture may be auto installed each time you start OpusFSX now.

 

I've seen quite a few threads in there forum about the cirrus issues. Good place to look.

Did you check there?

NWATech, my settings are already the same as the one you posted. Could you please link me to the thread about the cirrus issues.

 

Thanks!

This is a visibility problem and can't be changed unless reducing visibility. Nothing you can do.
