I have been searching for the right one all over the place, but I can't seem to decide on a single version. I do remember that I used to use two or more cloud modifications combined to make what I liked, but I have no clue what they were.

Mods: if you want to lock this I won't feel offended, but my purpose here is to start this thread and let each person post ONE recommendation and ONE screenshot to showcase what they believe to be the best cloud mod. (If you're using two or three combined, post all of em)

Ready, set, go!

As for myself I have been using a product known as Active Sky for several years now. the latest version is called Active Shy Next. This does not come with graphics for clouds depiction one of the earlier versions did have its own cloud data base I use them in Active Sky Next. This program is awesome to say the least. You no longer have clouds just pop up in front of you out of know where you can actually see them in the distance like you would if you were in a real plane. My best feature is the way it puts real weather into your flight plans so as you fly the weather truly changes just like the real thing.
Granted this is not freeware but it is well worth the money spent. If you want to see some screen shots just check out the link My screen shots would not do it justice. http://www.hifitechinc.com/products/activeskynext
Check out some of the video clips here and you will agree
To me there is nothing out there that comes close to this.
By they way Active Sky Next is only for FSX or Prepar 3d
For FS9 you can still get Active Sky Evolution

Thanks Gary! I didn't end up getting that (I was looking for freeware really), but I did manage to find a few modifications that really enhanced it. I acquired three different downloads and combined them, all originating from here. Now I'm moving on to trying to get Active Camera redownloaded (if I can) or finding a suitable replacement. Does F1 View have the ability for flyby?

goiong to try ASN, thanks for the info

See here for clouds..

I totally under stand about wanting freeware. Just be careful where you get it from as you might wind up with something you did not want.
This is a huge problem now a days. Sites nowadays have to rely on sponsors to keep there sites up and as a result are forced to allow them to install software that they make, which is how you wind up with unwanted tool bars and other garbage.

I had completely forgotten about this link I have a few of these installed myself. The wave effect for sure and I think I downloaded some clouds as well before I had got Active Sky Evolution.
I was looking at some of the links and discovered that some of them are no longer available
It pays to look around way to go

I very rarely let installers get in my way. I make sure to read each and every "OK" item that comes up and I never install straight to FS. I always install to an empty folder and then manually transfer. That alone has saved me numerous issues, since I can decide for myself whether or not to replace certain files. Having 7-Zip certainly helps, as well. Also, since it's FS9 I don't have to worry about most of the files: I've downloaded most of them before and know what to expect.

Actually .... the "oldie" Flight Environment
