We flew a mission last night to the "Bish" strats and there was a fairly large formations of clouds, just east of the Bish Strats, can't remember the sector numbers, and the altitude seemed to be staggered from about 8K up to about 16K. Not one person in the mission, about 30 rooks, mentioned the loss of frame rate, nor any control damping with the clouds. I don't know if these are "new" clouds, set up a different way than the other I have encountered, but these caused no ill effects which I could detect.
I purposely descended down through them just to see if there were any ill effects and could detect non. I see no reason why we couldn't have these though out our game, because it certainly adds a touch of realism to the game.
We used to have a map in the game which had a lot of clouds, but I no longer see it in rotation, and it did affect frame rates and control issues.
