After looking through the Forum - I guess what you mean is that you want a
viewpoint from high above (outer space)?
As established in lengthy discussions with vitos which you can read up at
your leisure, Flightgear isn't designed to show the planet from outer
space.

You're not forced to use it... It obviously will not work for a view from
outer space (there's a reason it's called 'Local Weather' rather than
'Planetary Weather System Simulation').

That sounds like using the skydome shader and badly configured
visibility/bare LOD distance.

There's aerial photograph texture around Brest available where you can see
how it is done.

No idea what you mean. We now have most cloud types in 3d, expept those
which *really* *don't* *work* in 3d (very structured Cirrus).
