Guys - I will re-post the last "P51" post. I didn't read the forum rules recently and wasn't aware of the 5 shot max. I will re-post and update below. These are my favorites.-DK----David KohlFly!

Updated with 5-shots per post, slightly smaller width to comply with the "rules". Should have read them to begin with. Sorry all. Enjoy.... http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/DCForumID47/17178.html-DK----David KohlFly!

David,Fabulous! What cloud package(s) and sky are you using?Best,Joel

Jure's Big Mammas clouds. Can't recall which sky package, but one of the ones avial here at AVSIM. Weather was generated with real METAR loaded from Jan 1 2003 at 18z.-DK----David KohlFly!

Thanks- any chance you saved the METAR file that you could post? I've never been able to get such realistic looking clouds.

I do have the METAR file. I'm at work, but next time I can recall, I'll post it here. Might be a few days b/f I get on the home PC.-DK----David KohlFly! II v2.5.240Dell 8200 P4/1.8G, 1024MB RAM, Nvidia GF4 Ti4600 v41.09, WinXP Home Edition SP1.CH Pro Pedals and Yoke USB.

Thanks David, that would be great.Best Regards,Joel

I've attached three thinned METAR files covering the West Coast. They are (in order of load)....1 - KSAN KSEA 020607_01Z.txt2 - KSAN KSLC 021113_03Z.txt3 - PADU KPDX 021206_02Z.txtI am fairly sure it is the third file I used for the screenshots, but I added all three just in case I was incorrect. Try them....-DK----David KohlFly! II v2.5.240Dell 8200 P4/1.8G, 1024MB RAM, Nvidia GF4 Ti4600 v41.09, WinXP Home Edition SP1.CH Pro Pedals and Yoke USB.

Thanks David, can't wait to try them out!Joel
