So much as I know it was the starting for 3d-clouds rendering in realtime, and the MSFS- clouds are based on Mark Harris idea.
But so far as I can remember there was an issue with framesrates? It was a short time in FGFS, right? Maybe we can use different types of cloud rendering- Mark Harris clouds looks fantastic for Cumulonimbus- would like to see different types of clouds which appears realistic to the type of weather (by METAR?)
