Finally got back to clouds.

Looks nice.

Is the shadow cloud dependent or it's for the whole bank?

Not sure what your asking, but the shadow is generated real time.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay.  It's been years since I've seen a cloud in AH, we used to have brilliant clouds, everyone I ever demo'd the game to said so.

oooohhhhh, purty!

Dammit, I was gonna post those exact words!

It's hard to figure it out because you have a layer of clouds. If the layer is missing one cloud, is there a 'hole' in the layer's shadow or is it a generic real time shadow for the layer of the cloud. If you have only one cloud, is the shadow on the ground have the shape of said cloud?

To go further and I know you usually do not answer 'direction' questions but in case  : are you hoping to go deeper with the clouds? As of including CB shape clouds and have turbulences inside of them. (not that I think it'd bring anything to actual gameplay).

The shadow matches what you see, i.e. yes there are holes.

So each cloud casts its own shadow?  That will be nice.

[Zoney]

The shadow matches how some of you act, i.e. yes there are a-holes.

Now the real question is... how is the FR while flying through the clouds?

Under the clouds, in the current version it's much harder on the computer to fly through them.

[Bruv119]

Briefly buzzed through them last night  they feel quite atmospheric.  Halved the frame rates though.  Eeek.  Maybe for TT Purposes it is a little to thick?  Are they still randomly built into the terrain?  Or can they be stuck over certain bases and away from highly populated areas?

Permanently cover the HQ with clouds down to the deck.
