Big ol sprawling stratus layer that covers much sky

oh and are clouds at lower altitudes in 1.03?

or multiple altitudes in the same area?

You mean kind of like WB where there is a texture on the "ceiling" of the arena? I kind of like that.

Hmm...Yes,in addition to the 3-d traveling cumulus an additional high alt stratus layer.
Only a laymans hunch ,but I suspect a 2-d bitmap stratus layer would not be much of a system hit at all to add!And imagine the 'depth'it would add to the already very impressive new screenshot I've been oogling over!
Perhaps in the next...next release?

I was thinking like Falcon 4's big stratus layer

Its actualy a big FPS hitter. Had it early on and removed it.

HT - would it be possible to have stratus clouds as an option for high end machines? Possibly plug in some geoforce support or something similar ? The low-end machines could see "less perfect" stratus clouds.

haha I think even the basic 2d plane representing the stratus layer was the item causing the big fps hit.
