I just tried out the cloud textures available for X-Plane! They even have more
worse edeges and alpha blending than our current cloud puffs-
if that woulden't be the case they would not much differ from that big
commercial-made-by-developers-paid-by-a-nerd called X-Plane!
BUT:
The alpha blending seems to depend on the direction of view-
I had just a fly from TNCM with heading 230- looking forward in chase view the
alpha blending worked full! No or very less edges!
But looking in the opposite direction no alpha blending!
Heading to the opposite direction (HDG 50) the alpha blending also disappeared.
My guess it has something to do with the direction of the clouds
Hope my observations can help a little bit....
