I'd like to hear what people have set for the various ASN settings. For example I notice the default cloud draw distance is 90, but the upper visibility default is 150. So that means I can see 150 miles all around in a clear day, yet I will only see clouds for 90 miles? That kind of sounds stupid. So do I have to set clouds to 150 if I want proper cloud coverage? It is confusing since in-game the settings for vis and clouds are only up to 110mi.

I always set the max visibility slightly lower than the maximum cloud draw distance so that I get clouds as far as I can see.

Here are my settings, a compromise between FPS & looks I'm happy with. 

 

max cloud draw distance at 90 (default)

Max surface visibility at 50

Max upper visibilty at 80

Thanks for the reply good idea about lower viz than cloud draw distance. I wonder why 150 is default visibility?

Because most users pc  can handle  this default setting  at 150 any more  and it will start to drain resouces
