Remove clouds?
« on: March 13, 2015, 04:48:38 am »
Is there an easy way to remove clouds? They make it difficult to land where you want to as they block terrain from 3 to 100 km.

In the "world" CFG, change clouds to "false"

Alternately, you can use ALT + the arrow keys to change the clouds to something better.

Man up. Difficulty landing comes with flying. There is no crying in baseball.

Thanks, that first option worked!

The cloud are awesome !

Yeah, I wish the clouds had less of a solid look to them, at least up close.  Clearly seeing the outlines or defined outer edges of the clouds up close is kinda odd.  I was hoping for something more foggy.  I know it's early though.

I just think "Early Alpha Clouds" when I see that, and move on.  :)

Is there a way to disable cloud movement? Make them frozen?
then perhaps have a much larger coverage.

Not complaining though, don't get me wrong,
I like the cloud coverage. Very realistic.

 Hope they make it rain! That would be cool!

 just needs some time ... the actually used in the alpha are just some arlier test version, so i am sure they have something really mindblowing in store, if i remember about that video of them climbing mountains ...

With previous builds it was possible to set the time flow multiplier to 0 to stop cloud movement. This is seemingly not the case anymore.
