WE could do...- then I ask who will be this person ?? But: And again for those who forgot, or didn't know this yet: Mark Harris Code above was the start for all 3D-clouds systems we know! MSFS, X-Plane and others- it's all based on this code, on this principe by him!! And: for a short time the original code was implemented in FGFS but the perfomance was low! Then Harald Johnson came, used the same principe but more based on plib. They were nice, but not customizable, only one cloud type possible, and changing texture not really possible. (I tried this) But it was a start, nethertheless! With Stuarts clouds we have the ability to have all cloud types we want to have! Of course there are some bugs- it is a start, and a lot of things can be added! Look here: http://www.flightgear.org/forums/download/file.php?id=263 http://www.flightgear.org/forums/download/file.php?id=264 http://www.flightgear.org/forums/download/file.php?id=260 http://www.flightgear.org/forums/download/file.php?id=261 Doesn't look this more realistic than the old clouds or even Mark Harris code? And don't we want to make it right, it make it realistic as much as we can? In one point I wll agree- "we" can look how some things he got managed like the borderlines and alpha blending. But that's all....
