September 9, 20169 yr BTW, speaking of skies, I was experimenting today with the skydome colors, and noticed my X-Plane only seem to use slots 1-8 instead of the full 16. Reading this thread and noticing you're quite the expert on X-Plane skies, do you know why could this be happening? Is it only happening to me? I don't have Skymaxx or other weird stuff. Good catch! :wink: X-Plane actually uses only the bottom 8 slots, the top 8 could be black or any other color and nothing would change. Probably they were used in previous versions, and then got discarded. So, in X-Plane sunsets and sunrises have effectively the same color. I do have some other clouds from you, also if you read a couple of posts above I have pasted some lua scripts , these I think are yours , will they matter if used now ? Just used your clouds and went to HUTO got surrounded by clouds but as no HDR I got 30 fps . You can use those lua script together with my cloud textures, and have better looking clouds. My clouds should be less performance hungry, especially the low res ones, so with them plus the lua scripts, a powerful pc could have the sky full of clouds and still get high fps.

Ok, but I don't know which one to use, I have two of those scripts and I am sure they are done by you. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus

September 9, 20169 yr Use the last one you pasted in this thread, that should be good. roger thanks Murmur Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
September 9, 20169 yr @Murmur, Your cloud and script is amazing, though I got like 12-14 fps with my mesh for the Alps but I didn't care because the cloud cover was great, I used the latest NOAA plugin with it. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
September 10, 20169 yr @Murmur I posted the screeny in the other thread but I will post it here too. BTW you did make script for the daylight. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
September 10, 20169 yr Not bad, I think even better cloudscapes are possible. "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".
September 10, 20169 yr even better cloudscapes are possible. I am waiting Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
September 10, 20169 yr Near Matterhorn again using NOAA, but the performance dropped here to 13 fps due to my mesh. The worst part about XPlane weather as every1 knows is the redrawing every kilometers or seconds or minutes. I am using XPlane on an external 20" LED connector to the laptop so the resolution is much higher 16:9 hence the fps also drops Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus

October 24, 20169 yr Murmur, can you post again your modified files and clouds files? the link for download is broken, thanks Jorge Rolando Hidalgo
October 25, 20169 yr Murmur, can you post again your modified files and clouds files? the link for download is broken, thanks This link should not expire. It also includes a lua script (requires FlyWithLua installed in X-Plane) to improve atmosphere/clouds. The zip file should be extracted in the main X-Plane folder. If done correctly, it should ask to overwrite some files and merge some folders located inside "Resources": https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5fyJwRhjar5bVJiYmliT3NoN28 "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".

Thank you for putting this together.
