Meanwhile - at the cheap end of the market, Emilian and I have cleaned up most of the textures, made some of the AC3D models single-sided, reordered the objects, provided unique names, and converted everything to .dds. This has much improved loading/unloading, and given a much better appearance when panning the view. Flicking on/off of clouds has pretty much been eliminated. There is still a bit of a problem reloading in fly-by view, but it is much improved. Some weirdness near the zenith has also been fixed. Available here: https://gitorious.org/weather_textures/weather_textures I have managed to break non-detailed clouds along the way, but hey - you can't have everything. All in all a worthwhile exercise, with some tidying up still to do. When you experts have fixed up the ground cache - we might have something of a success.
