Did you test your airfield grass with some of the newer generated terrain (LOWI in my case)? No, I didn't. Shouldn't make a difference for rendering purposes how you created it, at this stage it's all vertices and pixels and the shaders don't care where they come from or how they

This feels like a moderately large issue to me, because out of the box, we select basic weather, and hence we're going to get bug reports about clouds not appearing. We could make basic weather drive the real visibility based on altitude, but then we're moving away from 'basic weather

I need someone to reset my brain on this, explain to me what functionality is required, show me the Nasal code and Vivian's version, and so on. Rain layers and Cirrus clouds are not shader-generated 3d stacks of sprites like the 3d clouds but normal, Nasal-spawned models. 3d clouds are
