Once again, I have to praise Michael for his tips on setting up these cloud textures. My skies are totally intense!!! Quoted from Ramsa, Quote:
"These clouds are some of the ones available in the FS Sky World program which I highly recommend!

When I use them together with Active Sky it's possible to create great sky scape's. "
I am running the same textures from FS Sky and the Active Sky Weather engine too. For some reason I now love flying in "real world weather". It is surreal!!
The aircraft is one of many free DC-10s from the guys at SGA. Enjoy!

W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L shots!  Grin
But...it look sureal allright.
I un-installed those textures after a few flights, felt like I was on an LCD trip back in Woodstock '69.
The clouds looks good, but those lighting effects...  Undecided

Oh, did I mention my computer is down on its knees trying to render all those clouds. With the ERJ-145 I'd have around 13 fps, not my cup of coffee.  Sad

I seriosuly needs to beef up my computer  Roll Eyes

I agree Nicholas. There are so many combinations to create, it just takes a bit. I am still playing! Thanks for the comments!

I also tried out this little texture from Sandy Lyons and I think it looks pretty good! It is in the new Scenery additions for today over at Avsim.

Thanks!!
It is really wild to fly in this type of sky. The cloud textures are different from the default! You can actually fly through them. Different cloud coverages and ceiling heights can co-exist all around you! My skies have become a very nice place to be!  Grin
