You are right there is a strange movement. It's perhaps the
rotation axes of the clouds that are a bit off.



I know what you mean.  It seems you can never go inside the
cloud.

Perhaps visibility should be decreased to a few meters when
one is inside the clouds?

I think that you have that effect if you fly to the border of
a cloud. The quads are rotated to face the camera and when the
quads are very near on the left or the right the rotation is
too big and the quad go out of sight. This will be corrected.



Hmm... I've flown inside them pretty convincingly but I'm
seeing a darkened region within the clouds, even when I'm
outside them, between the horizon and what I presume to be
the bottom of the sky-sphere.

I can post some screen shots of inside the clouds or of the
horizon problem if anyone wants.

Can you post screen shots of the darkened clouds problem ?

Harald.



Hello Harald,

there's a screen-grab (425k) at

http://www.overthetop.freeserve.co.uk/fgfs-screen-009.jpg

I've got the weather visibility set to 30000m at this altitude.

I'm affraid I can't reproduce the problem, but I have allready changed a few things in the rendering order of clouds to correct the problem of scenario objects visible in front of clouds, I changed the transparency of clouds too, they now appear totaly transparent at the horizon.

3 screen shots, visibility set to 30000, clouds visibility set at 3 different ranges :
