I think we have to create a special plib version of FGFS for you! The last developement in Plib last for about 10 Years, with OSG we take over plib in maybe 1/3 or a half of this time! And in many things we took already over: forest, perfomance ( with the datapager mp is much smoother, AI interactive Traffic too...) And: Stuart can tell this better, but so much as I know he tried it and failed. But the solution isn't far away from that- it is even better!

MSFS, X-Plane and others- it's all based on this code, on this principe by him!! And: for a short time the original code was implemented in FGFS but the perfomance was low! Then Harald Johnson came, used the same principe but more based on plib. They were nice, but not customizable, only one cloud type possible, and changing texture not really possible. (I tried this) But it was a start, nethertheless! With Stuarts clouds we have the ability to have all cloud types we want to have! Of course there are some bugs- it is a start, and a lot of things can be added!

And don't we want to make it right, it make it realistic as much as we can?
