Hi,
The new clouds by Stuart and Vadym Kukhtin looks really great!
I only see some issues with fps with the stratus-clouds.
As I can see they still make use of my clouds texture I did last year, which
looks now really ugly.
With using Vadym's texture, they looks much better and let me decreasing
<num-sprites> to 10 - it still looks great, it is working, but fps are much
better now.
The few things which I don't like yet are, some transparency issues with
particles and/ or a second cloud layers above.
And of course that they don't move with the wind! ;-)
I attached the cloudlayers.xml with the changed texture path and num-sprites
for the stratus-clouds.
Kind Regards
HHS

short Explanation:
cb = Cumulonimbus (Thunderstorm cloud)
cb-cal = Cumulonimbus Calvus (without amboss)
cb-inc = Cumulonimbus Incus (with amboss)
cu = Cumulus
cu hum = Cumulus humilis (smallest one, only at fair, nice weather)
cu med = Cumulus mediocris (middle)
cu con = Cumulus congestus (the largest one, pre-stage of Cumulonimbus)
ns = Nimbostratus (Rain cloud)
st = Stratus
sc = Stratocumulus
ac = Altocumulus
