That was a first try on the heat plumes within the existing capabilities of FGFS. I intend to do a little more work on it in due course. I'm not giving it a high priority, since it is really only eye candy. Fred Bouvier has been doing some work on the interaction with clouds. BTW, transparent cockpit canopies also make clouds disappear.
