Rotating Clouds back with HotFix2?

Featured Replies

Hello,

since i have updatet P3Dv3 to HF2 i can often see rotating clouds.

is this an P3D or an AS16 feature?

 

AFAIK, it's an inherent part of the ESP-engine's core weather depiction system. In other words, they have always been there.

 

I'm hoping that LM (or perhaps REX?) will totally redevelop the weather depiction engine within ESP - which will then effect FSX and P3D...

 

But that's a fools hope, I suppose... 

Best regards,

Several versions back, LM added a Prepar3d.cfg entry to control the behavior of clouds based on the user's viewpoint. It can reduce the impact of "spinning clouds":

as will a setting that can be tweaked using  PTA:

As long as 2D sprites are used to build 2.5D clouds, there will always be some "cloud spinning". I find that TrackIR makes this problem more noticeable and I suspect from reading posts here that VR also exacerbates the problem.
