Enhanced cloud bases let the cloud base look darker.

I don't have seen one yet but as far as i understand it it will inject an roll cloud model if there is one reported or the right weather conditions have been met.

Ok, thanks. I will keep that disabled then, I think.

And thanks for the google tip. I think I will leave it at the default floccus.

But do I actually have to click that Install Now button on the Models page or will the sync option take care of all this anyway?

OK Thank you, I have the Enhanced cloud bases On and love the Dark foreboding look it can gives. Totally overcast should be dark underneath.

Since the SkyForce thread got closed down and I don't want to start a new one, would anyone be kind enough to come up with a screenshot of full overcast at FL300 or higher? Curious as to whether the holes in the clouds are visible. Thanks.

I don't own Skyforce, but I suspect you have to install. I figure it works like the ASCA  Full Dynamics theme. You also have to install this before ASP4 can  swap textures.

Ok, yes, well, since I bought it I might was well use (or at least try) everything of it. :happy:

Thanks David. This doesn't look half way bad, I may give it a go.

Rex say the clouds are optimized. Like for like I see no FPS difference but what amazed me was within AS I can now with SF set Cloud draw to 200 nm and still have full overcast with SSAA and have very little hit on FPS. That's a sim changer for me. The last time I tried that it did not end well :biggrin:

David, what resolution are you setting your clouds to?

DTX5 Clouds to 512 Erich, the softer the better and the least hit on performance the better for me.
