I was just thinking, if you could determine the amount of cloud cover between the sun and the viewpoint, you could adjust the light levels for some neat effects. It would seem wrong when looking into the distance, but I don't think it would be too noticeable. Perhaps there is a way to only affect a small area, maybe the diameter of the aircraft.
With the UV mapped clouds, one could just draw a line to the sun and measure the pixmap value at the intersection point. I'm not sure how to do it with volumetric clouds. Anyway, it would be neat to see the sunlight flashing on the inside of the cockpit as you flew under some broken cloud cover. Just thinking out loud.
