First of all, let me say thank you to the devs for creating this
wonderful simulator. Very nice indeed.
Ok, then, I am running the 0.9.9 OS X Universal Binary edition of
Flightgear on an Intel iMac 20".
Now, to the puzzle: On various websites I see some very nice
'roundish' clouds. I would categorize
these as being of the type cumulus or cumulonimbus, but I'm not a
meteorologist, so forgive me if
I've got the names wrong. You can see some of these clouds here:
http://www.flightgear.org/images/clouds-winter-bo105.jpg
When I run Flightgear, I never see anything remotely like those
clouds. Mine are thin and streaky
or foggy, sometimes dark (if bump-mapped), sometimes light, but never
like the ones in the image.
I've tried all sorts of different combinations of cloud settings and
bpp values, but without success.
I notice a cloud image of the right type in 'FlightGear.app/Contents/
Resources/data/Textures/Sky',
in the file 'cl_cumulus.rgb'. And that filename can be found in the
fgfs binary:
% grep 'cl_cumulus.rgb' fgfs
Binary file fgfs matches
But I can't see an image like that when I run Flightgear. Also, I
notice there is no 'cumulus' entry
in the cloud dialog, and indeed, there is no reference to that type
of cloud in 'clouds.xml'.
I'd appreciate any help with this.
Thanks,
Snick.
