Mustang + clouds = heavenly

Freeware you say? Where/what/when/who?

Number two is unique in that it's not your standard partly sunny with never a true dull overcast day - as normally served by REX. Good to see a sky with no blue - reminds me of home

I have REX set to dynamic and quite often get wall-to-wall muck (I live in Auckland). You may need to move your maximum visibility slider back a notch or two.

@naki - great shots all round. Nowt wrong with those clouds!

We should run these past Splitpin, our cloudmeister

Sorry not saying

.....no really I should added that in my opening post.

I was using the freeware Open Clouds programme (improved clouds and weather generator) but this suddenly became payware on a subscription basis when I updated the weather the other day - so it got deleted.

Since I'm a cheapskate I prefer my enviroment programmes as freeware (still cant justify gto myself the cost of REX) and I was looking for an alternative - somebody suggested that Pablo Diaz FS9 HD clouds work in FSX whilst using the FSX weather engine (not the best but it wil do for me).

With FSX just install the clouds..(I didn't install the full blown HD clouds just 512 * 512 ones) and dont install the sky textures as they make FSX crash. Strangely I also get a really good FPS improvement..although I appear to have slight drop in FPS in my Orbx scenery

4 and 6 could be the real thing...or are they???

Sweet. I'm already using those clouds in my FSX.
And my sky textures are from a link Charl pointed out here. Who needs REX ?
