Floyd's Epic Clouds

Featured Replies

Been using these for a few days.... Intended to post but kept hesitating because I was not sure how the haze bug might be affecting the mod, if at all.

Now that the Beta hotfix is out, and also because I see somebody has made a video about the mod, I'm thinking "Hey might as well post and see what people think".

I watched the video and Floyd's Clouds look outstanding. I'll have to download the package. Thank you for the link. Is Floyd still based in Mayberry?

Also, it seems the video creator is unaware of other, already existing free weather mods I've been using for ages.

I think I've posted them before, but its been a while and I'm not absolutely sure...

So.....

They do look regally good.  I'm going to download them.

I need a change from the Asobo low-word not allowed cloud pack.  :smile:

This doesn't do anything to the game's clouds themselves, correct? It's simply a weather preset?

Thank you for the links , I appreciate it !! .

 

 

 

 

 

Just love the settings - he has done what I have tried to do & failed on so many occasions - now I just bung in one of his at random & really enjoy the flight with a new twist - anyhow just love 'em

May give them a try, though I initially thought they were new textures rather than just presets. I use rw weather as much as I can, so will have limited use, though at this time of year the weather is not up to my vfr sightseeing trips.

There is plenty of scope in the sim do you customise your own cloud layers and density, though we could do with a few different cloud types really. Some Altostratos,  Nimbus and Cirrus would be good.

Well, nothing beats Betty's Beaver as far as I am concerned!..

On that note, I wonder what happened to @leprechaunlive and his model.  It looked to be coming along great. 
He has done the P-40 and Nieuport since with Big Radials, but I wonder if it is still WIP?
