Hi Curt, I've managed to find the problem, and once I get git to play ball, I'll make a merge request! If you've got a list of the 3D clouds bugs you've found and not fixed yourself, I'd be interested in fixing them. The flying trip was fantastic. We flew just over 1000 miles over 8 days (19

Hi Stuart, Great to hear you figured out the elevation issue. Those were the two issues that I noticed: - cloud elevations off - overcast cloud layers not drawn at all One other that I haven't paid close attention to, but one time I wondered if the cloud layer had slid off to the far end of

Hi, Was also looking over Thorsten's pics and writeup on the FG forum (assume those were the pics referenced) and wondering how to go about setting up the cloud scenery. Looked over the README.3DClouds writeup and that pretty much answered the howto but was unable to find any complete xml files

See Environment/cloudlayers.xml for the cloud definitions used in the global 3D clouds. Found it, so assume you need to add a reference in the preferences.xml file to include this xml file for cloud types, correct? Two related questions: 1) how does one enable (use) the hi-res texture

Hi Curt, I've been looking at the altitude problem all evening, but haven't (yet) found the bug. AFAICT the correct altitude (in m) is being passed down the stack and used to create an altitude offset, so it's not just a case of the stack using the height of the clouds rather than the altitude.

Hi Stuart, thanks for taking a look. How was your trip? Hope you logged a lot of nice flying days! Our weather has been pretty much crap around here and then the nice days I've had to work or had family stuff, so I've logged about 5 minutes of (RC) stick time so far in 2011. :-( Curt. On

Hi Stuart, I saw that you recently made some updates and bug fixes to the global weather 3d clouds including fixing a problem with overcast coverage and also making clouds drift with the wind. This afternoon I started up at my local airport (KANE) and did observe the clouds drifting, which looks
