Ha ha ha L.O.L. :lol: these are just down right scary clouds :lol:
Never saw and never knew that on this planet Earth can exist such a clouds thing !!
They look more like from some PC game
Wow !!

Yes , clouds are hardcoded , there is not much available to work with unless some
of the available Java guys will find the right entries in class files which is overwhelming
task because there are tons of class files to go through to find this bugger .
After what was done to this simulator over the past few years , I will no longer say that
real 3D clouds are not possible , it's just there is a lack of time and many other new projects
needs to be finished first that have also huge visual immersion impact on play but clouds
are thus far not one of them .
Chappi , you felt in love with clouds !!
TypeClouds=0 basic clouds , minimum shadows , no ground reflection with maximum FPS
TypeClouds=1 is all about more rendering shadows , water and ground reflection and
more rich looking clouds but there are some kind of weird bugs with water reflection .
There was time when TypeClouds=1 option was first introduced in one of the patches ,
with older machines this option was very much not playable because it did killed a lot of folks FPS
These days it doesn't matter as it is no longer any rendering stress issue for modern graphics card .
Chappi , can't tell you if there will be a slight chance in near future to look in to clouds code ,
so much other stuff waiting to be finished first .
Someone else might be able perhaps to take a look but our effects team is unable right now .
Once some of new projects are done and released , then this sure can be looked in to
Today latter on I am gonna try your new clouds version release update
Thank you Chappi for posting some of the mind-boggling clouds pictures !!
