Hi Gerard. The 2D shot is better in that instance because there
*are* some clouds. I wonder if the metar data in your location
is broken? I unplug DSL here due to frequent storms when not using
the PC, and if I forget to plug it back in before starting fgfs I
get the same with 3D clouds...
Thanks for the answer,
I just tried to fly from LFMO and I looked at the metar info from
there.
Here is my local Brisbane (YBBN) metar info...
YBBN 110300Z 07010KT 9999 SCT032 29/20 Q1011 NOSIG
Here is the metar for Orange Caritat (LFMO)...
LMFO 082200Z 30007KT CAVOK 04/02 Q1021
As you can see the YBBN metar includes SCT032, indicating scattered
clouds at FL032, which is what I see when I fly at YBBN (infact I see
some cumulus when I look outside!). When I try LFMO I see ocean, as
I haven't downloaded the local scenery yet!, but more importantly fgfs
shows me what the metar tells it to show, ie. no clouds, since there
are none reported in the LFMO metar info...swapping to 2D clouds I
see the same 2D clouds as you do, at any airport.
I sometimes lose 3D clouds when I change scenarios often, so that may
be a bug to fix, but I still think its a good first attempt at a new
feature...
If you get cloudy conditions outside perhaps see what metar tells you.
If you see stuff like BKN035, SCT032CB, OVC175, and similar then metar
is telling you about clouds, otherwise it is not...
Kind regards,
Chris Wilkinson, Brisbane, Australia.
