a modified weather preset file

Featured Replies

I created a weather theme that I like.  It's a modified 'Scattered Clouds' theme and it produces the clouds seen in these pics which I think are great for an afternoon of flying at 3500 to 4500 feet. I think it creates a realistic shaped and shaded cumulus.

Here's the .WPR file contents.  The files are in "LocalState/Weather/Presets" off of the FlightSim directory with the long name(let the reader understand).

There's always a sunset happening somewhere in the world that somebody is enjoying.
