No Clouds

Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,

 

I had the problem - and it was resolved when I reset the new REX Cloud Sizing feature back to default (via the REX Interface) - then changed it to another value (I think I'm using .65 now)... The problem has not reoccurred...

 

Regards,
Scott

Well I reinstalled REX TD, made the changes that everyone suggested.  First flight was a bust but then I got out and back in, making sure everythign was still set correctly and then BOOM....beautiful puffy white clouds.  EKCH never looked more beautiful.

 

Thanks for the help everyone.

A great way to determine what type of problem you might be having is to enable Content Error Logging and Scenery Error Logging.  It can save time trying to identify a root cause and get you pointed in a direction quickly.

 

This is why I always, without exception, make sure I have both Content Error logging and Scenery Error Logging enabled ... I have solved many issues because of this feature ... and yes I'm well aware many 3rd party content providers tell user to turn it OFF ... just say NO ;)  Not all the problems being reported in this file are "irrelevant", some are VERY relevant.

 

Glad you got it sorted.

 

Cheers, Rob.

I had both Content Error Logging and Scenery Error Logging checked...I never touched them from default.  I never thought to check those to see if they were going to tell me it was a REX issue.  As I said before, I used to be able to fly with just Soft Clouds and ASN, but with recent changes through REX, I needed Texture Direct installed.  After i reinstalled it, I HOPED it would fix the cloud issue.  I sure hated like hell to have to reinstall everything.

 

Now that the issue is resolved, I gotta say I have never had such a beautiful and successful flight before, at least with a tubeliner.  I will try to post screenshots in the screenshot forum to show off what I saw, even though it's probably been seen a hundred times by others.  Don't mind me, I'm just extremely pleased with performance. :)

 

Thanks again.

I think I have mine working correctly it looks amazing with low level clouds and high stratus

 

But have done many flights in some severe weather thou have not come across any thick white fluffy clouds at 35000ft like you do in real life

 

Anyone have input on this?

 

Cheers

I was going to ask how you get higher levels of clouds, but maybe the answer is above.  My question now is where are all of the settings quoted above.  I flew last night, saw a lot of cloud cover but low level.  In REX, I have upper level clouds selected (low level deselected), in ASN, my visibility range is set high (both vertical and horizontal), which is 115 and 90 respectively, and my visibility in P3D is set to around 90.
