Not necessarily to you personally, I was just asking where the settings are located, whether in ASN, REX or both, where i can get the upper level clouds to show up.  I think I may have already figured it out since last night I performed a flight where different levels of clouds were coming in.  It have had to do with the specific weather patterns in the area I was in.  Now that I have clouds showing up, I'm on the hunt for bad weather. lol

The settings i listed above are ASN.

 

In P3D v3 i have detailed clouds set to ON and maximum density set.

 

In REX 4 TD w/SC i have 2048 size set for upper level clouds.

What I like to do, Jim - is set ASN to a historical date where there was some severe weather, tropical storms, hurricanes, etc and then use the ASN search function to find what you want.

Good point.  As I was going through all the settings last night, I found that feature.  Does using historical weather boost performance at all, since it isn't "live" weather?

I really haven't paid attention to it. I would think it would be similar - the program reads the historical database just as it reads the live metars and injects the weather accordingly. I usually set up the time and date, load the plan, tune COMM1 to 122.02 and check the destination weather to see if it will be what I like when I arrive. Then I change the time to a bit earlier to compensate for flight time and then fly.

 

You can get some great IFR practice that way.

Hello!

I had the same problem with the low level clouds and I managed to svolve it without reinstalling P3D.

Be aware that it helped me, but will not necessarily help others.

A while back I bought TOGA Envtex, but quickly abandoned it cause of poor textures...

So I gave it another go and installed textures set from Envtex and voilà!!! low stratus and other low level clouds came back!

Hope this info helps others, but I would not recommend buying TOGA only because that...

Cheers!
