New cloud textures for jordanj

Postby pooty13901 » Thu Aug 19, 2004 4:15 pm

I'm finally home. Here's some shots around Washington state in a Cessna, and in a Boeing 737 around my home airport KBGM in New York. I must say the blending of the "fog" into the surrounding scenery is much better than the default stuff. And I do notice a pick up in frame rates. With the download, you have two choices of file sizes for clouds. I stayed with the 32-bit stuff. Let me know if you get the new textures.

I installed them and I did see some improvement.  I'm still testing (other factors affect frame rates as well).

Thanks Pooty for bringing this to everyone's attention! :)

Jordanj,

Glad you're seeing the same thing I did. Just in case anyone else wants to check them out, would you agree that they look as good than the default clouds?

I downloaded that set from that site and also found replacement textures for the coulds at flightsim, huge improvement on the default!! and no affect on frames.
