No matter what, blue skies don’t look blue enough and the clouds don’t look thick or white enough.  It is almost as though the look blended into the sky and there is little contrast between sky and cloud.

Something must be wrong with your install: I can get great thick and also white clouds plus blue skies with AS and SF (and PTA).

Just a small part of blue sky here but lots of white clouds:

Thick clouds:

 

Couple shots of mine, still working on it but I don't own AS yet

 

 

 

A bit more blue and white. 😉

For what it’s worth, I didn’t run sky force and installed ASCA and that gave me much better results.  I might uninstall and reinstall sky force to test or just keep ASCA

When I run ASCA without running SF before starting the sim, it is drastically different/better than when I had SF w/out ASCA.  Do you think uninstalling and then reinstalling SF would be good?  Then I can try using all 3 and see if that looks better?  Ideally I'd be using SF clouds, ASCA sky, and AS weather.  However, it just seems like whenever I ran SF it made it look bad (which shouldn't be the case). 

You might try a reinstall because SF sure doesn't look bad as you make it sound. (Although a screenshot would help to see if something is really wrong.) Imho SF clouds look better than ASCA clouds but that's of course a matter of opinion. If they look worse on your PC then something must be wrong.

I'd reinstall SF to be sure and then mix and match settings until you get to see what YOU want to see. It may well be that the right combo for you is AS and ASCA - as long as you are looking with your eyes no one else can really help you. Jeroen prefers SF clouds and I prefer ASCA - we are both correct for our preferences. From what you've said, I'm guessing you'll prefer ASCA.
