WTFG on the clouds guys, they look awesome !!!  
i would like to know though, would it be possible to to have them under shaded, ie, not all white, it would give them that much more depth...and could also lead the way into bad atmospheric conditions (thunder heads and storms etc).
really can wait to soar though the fluffy blue yonder  ..

cheers,

freak-,  Out....

Will there be functioning (simple perhaps) artificial horizon instruments, to go along with the fluffy clouds?

Or will the clouds be such that knowing one's orientation will not be a problem??

Please. I am curious as to whether there is a frame rate hit and if so what it may be (approximately)???
