Thanks to all involved! Several questions and comments. 1. At night, the emmissive seems very very bright. 2. Are you intending that the 3D cloud base should match the lowest level in the current METAR? I just flew with a KDSM METAR using "real weather fetch" (current METAR copied from ADDS:* KDSM 081954Z 10007KT 10SM BKN130 OVC160 01/M03 A2964 RMK AO2 SLP047 T00111033. * )
This gives a broken layer at 13000 ft AGL but the 3D clouds started at 2000 AGL. 3. When I took off, the outside view showed the clouds flickering. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
