Yeah, at least not here (3870, 10x overkill for FG).
I maximize the window from default (800x600?) to aprox

No, the cost of blending is proportional to the area
blended on the screen,
so a
few large sprites vs. many small sprites should cost
about the same. It is
true
that it takes longer to sort a large number of
sprites, but I'm not worried
about the sorting cost at this point.

Are you testing with drawing off? Where do I change the number of sprites?
heh, so many .xmls

If you feel so inclined,
I have a couple of observations about the clouds.
I think that cranking up the AlphaFunc value would help with the blue outline
problem. That being said, blue outlines are a symptom of sorting problems. I
see
a lot of these when testing a local hack that fully sorts the cloud sprites
instead

Hi,
Well:
It seems to
me that there are
relatively few sprites per cloud, unless perhaps I've
screwed something up
somewhere else. This means that each cloud sprite is quite
large, which makes
sorting them difficult. I suggest trying to build the
clouds with smaller
sprites. We're

Hi Gerad and Stuart,
First I will comment the pics shown here:

Looks bad, but maybe this is an issue of the clouds texture. The clouds are
rather dense here- maybe too dense so it could be maybe solved with better
cloud definition by
Oh- and:
since when are the 2d-clouds moving?
Well exactly- the clouds aren't moving- but there is something between the 2d
and 3d-clouds - maybe this explains some renderings bugs Gerad found?

This is the weather being interpolated between METAR states.

Flickering -o.k. I can live with that. I noticed the same issue on the MSFS

Hi,
Is this with Tim Moore's latest patch?
I used the latest built from frederic from 12/11/08 (yesterday) so I guess it
is inside. Well at leats I noticed your changes...
On my system it increases frame-rates significantly with 3D
clouds enabled.

Hi,
under www.hoerbird.net/cl_cumulus.png is the updated texture with a 20%
alphalayer made of a sw-conversion of the texture.
I think that should make it much better now so you can comit?

Hi,
The third cloud in the second row has stray set pixels
above and below
it that lead to some strange rendering artifacts.
Thanks,

I cleaned the spaces between the clouds:
