Thanks Murmur.  :wink:

 

I conducted some experiments with special textures to understand the "logic x-plane clouds".

 

 

 

 

 

The result has allowed me to compile a map of how x-plane use cirrus-scattered-broken-stratus-overcast  clouds.

 

 

 

This scheme works with XP10 and Xp11. 

Good job. :smile: I already did those experiments some time ago reaching the same results.

 

The first column is used both for "cirrus" (internally named "hi cir") and "few cumulus" (internally named "lo cir").

 

So unfortunately you can't have a realistic depiction of both cirrus clouds and few cumulus clouds.

Here are some default clouds I played around with:

 

 

 

 

 

@Murmur which flywithlua are you using in XP11 ? flywithlua itself is causing me an error without any scripts under the Scripts folder. 

 

 I did redownload flywithlua but does not seem to work.

 

 A link would be appreciated

Try this:

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-cAHnyMVBgfZnhtbVE0cUFIVkU/view

 

Just put the folder in the plug in, delete the old one, this works for me, then use Notepad++ to edit the script to what you want.

Thanks and this is for XP11 and 10 right ?

Believe so, it works in 11.

Thanks will try it later after work.

@Murmur your XP11 script feels nice, just did a test during lunch time @work. Will try with Clouds HD V2. 

This is using XP11 + NOAA + Clouds HD V2 + Murmurs XP11 Lua. Don't ask me the fps it was pretty silly . Flight area is Kodiak Alaska

 

This one is @HUTO Tororo Africa same config as above

 

Nice.

 

In X-Plane 11 there is a bug (at least I have it), in that if you are using modified cloud datarefs in a lua script, every time you start X-Plane you have to change the weather at least once. Infact, the first time it draws clouds, you'll get bad visuals and performance. So the weather must be changed at least once, to force a cloud redrawing.

hmm ok will try it out.

 

BTW is there no fix with datarefs to that cloud circle always above the aircraft ?

What cloud circle? Got a screenshot?

Murmur , see the this band  ? Sorry i could not get better shot , but this band will be like a ring (sorry not a circle ) and above that it will be clear sky , i find this every time except when overcast and it's pretty irritating to look at.
