To make that point very clearly: These loop flags determine if particular
Nasal code of local weather runs and does administrative tasks. There is
within local weather a subsystem which does similar things to what is seen
in the video, asymmetric buffering, i.e. it removes clouds not currently
in the visual field and some distance away from the scenery and re-inserts
them if the view angle changes. My initial suspicion was that this
subsystem is running wild - but setting the flags to zero and thus ending
the Nasal loops (in particular buffer and housekeeping) would have
'frozen' the cloud configuration, i.e. it should have left clouds in an
angular wedge visible and clouds everywhere else invisible with no
loading/removing going on (I have checked that on my system that is indeed
what happens).
So since the effect persists even in the absence of any running
weather-related Nasal code, I deduced it must be something else.
Also, I am unable to reproduce the problem on either today's GIT or my old
2.0.0 binary. Maybe someone else has a bright idea...
