Sky Problems

Postby GunnerMan » Fri Dec 31, 2004 12:05 am

Ok well I had my GF4 MX 440 64 meg card and my FS Sky World was working great(besides killing my FPS) then the sky started turnng into white squarish things..I figured I just needed reinstall but never botherd now I have my GF 6800 Ultra and it was doing the same thing but now the clouds are I guess 3d but they are very very thin and dont look like clouds at all and there are several layers of them but I got the "white skys" to go away...so anyone have any idea on what is causing these cloud deformaties and no I dont have my clouds set to "Simple" do that it looks lke your sky is artifacting with these textures....

Here is a pic of what it looks like(these clouds have anout 100 ft of "depth or mass"...

Try using the "Custom Weather" settings and switch your clouds to Cumulus. Those look like perfectly normal stratus clouds but if the cumulus look like that then there's a problem. You might also want to play around with the "cloud base" and "cloud top" settings.
