`Clouds kill frames don't they!!

[Clipper]

Mayer, here's a potential solution for you. FS Skyworld, available at Avsim, offers a couple of nice cloud sets that are much easier on frame rates. If you're not familiar with Sky World I suggest you check it out. It offers some nice environment modifications (and some not so nice). Sky colors, full moons, endless cloud combinations. Here's a sceenshot of the Skyworld menu showing the frame rate friendly cloud sets I'm talking about. HIFPS 32 bit etc... I hope it helps!

Definitely a good advise above !
Those HIFPS clouds allowed me to turn almost all of my graphic options to max (excepted view distance and stuff like that of course) on my previous computer.
There's really a good chance that this option will let you enable 100% 3D clouds without performance hit
