There is a lot of room for improvement, it was a hack trying to get it up for a LWCE. Just about anything would be an improvement ;-) Incorporating the clouds into the scene graph is #1. I've looked into it but keep heading off in other directions building the hardware and software for my 747 simulator. #2 on my list would be a rebuild/redesign of cloud loading functions. The original code is available on Mark's website.
