Love it. Set it to off then in Prepar3D.cfg if you see volumetricclouds=1 edit it to 0 This plus unticking internal vehicle casting receiving shadows in cockpit from another poster

Volumetric control slider within P3D world menu itself set to off (set far left) Cloud draw distance 90 miles  Cloud coverage set to maximum and in ASP3D leave ticked above examples ticked and leaving default min/max cloud draw distance as 90 miles (default). If that makes sense. 

Finally edit Prepar3d.cfg and if you see volumetricclouds=1 in it edit it to 0 if it shows up there.

Unticking casting shadows is independent of the Volumetric cloud but can be found in lighting in P3D menu giving the cockpit a brighter look.

I have Prevent ticked and Enable unticked and find that works best with Rex clouds.

Apparently there's an orange tint moon reflection bug in EA from another poster so hopefully this would be fixed soon.

Just did this and there is a nice difference clouds look better. Wonder why its left unchecked. Maybe its a work in progress. Clean out shader cache folder too so to be sure. 

Update 

There seems to be a laggier feel to the new cloud layer so ill leave it to you to keep testing. Thanks for the pointer tho.
