Cloud textures
-
These clouds will be available for download?
Looking forward to test them especially if they have low fps inpact!! -
Hi Apollo 11!
You can get them on the first post.
They’re pretty outdated now, from 4.32, but when I get some time I’ll follow Mav Jp’s suggestions and will try to improve them for 4.34.
Cheers

Τι λες ρε φιλε?
Free translation: get out of here…
as said in us?Stock ones are great but THIS?
THIS IS PHENOMENAL! !!
looks realer than real.
Edit: by the way the instrumental song is super great on the video. Which song is it?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T818A using Tapatalk
Glad you like that Arty The song is Pink Floyd’s “Marooned”, from The Division Bells.

i dont agree entirely
the fact that some clouds are very dark compared to the others is a real problem
- they provoke clipping (see 1:05 => 1;07 or 3:43 => 3:45)
- some are very dark despite the fact that they are in the upper part of the layer, which is not realistic at all. normally only the bottom part are darker
i tried to code that automatically to have darker clouds in the bottoms , i succeeded at some point but it provoked clipping and was not so good
i do agree that some contrast give some depth perception
i would suggest to NUNO SANTPS to reduce the contrast difference and keep it but very very more subtile to avoid too much clipping
in addition
0:31 , 0:47 , etc… => bad pixelisation of texture on the edges , can be improved as it is eye catching
I fully agree and noticed those and that is why i said looks and not is real.
Considering is from 4.32 its logical.
But if you manage the magic on having the darks on the bottom, oh boy.
But u have to admit that the plurality of nuno’s clouds is eye catching.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T818A using Tapatalk

Good on ya Nuno!, no doubt in my mind new update will be glorious.
P.s. Hey Mav well done with cloud towers, am seeing some awesome stuff.

In 4.33 i used the Nuno clouds but i kept the standard ‘overcast textures’ as i liked the whiter look better and found it was a much more natural look, I think i’ll do the same again this time around.
i’ll see if i can find a screen shot and post here.
-
Me too, actually!
I use only my cumulus, cirrus and circum clouds textures, for the rest I keep stock ones, since with the changes Mav has done in weather engine from 4.32 I find it was the best result.

there are no more overcast textures

haha great minds think alike hey Nunos? Seriously though your clouds are amazing
Here are a few screenshots from 4.33 of Nuno’s Cumulus, Cirrus and Circum clouds with the stock overcast clouds blended in,

Not working again. How are you uploading them?
-
hmmm that is so bizarre, I’m uploading them the same way I always have, clicking on the picture icon, then choosing the picture I want to upload from my pictures folder, then clicking upload file, :noidea:
(Edit) I just re-uploaded them and i think this time it worked?

Ok so i just tested 4.34 using Nuno’s clouds, and whilst they looked absolutely amazing in 4.34, unfortunately when flying above Poor weather it was really noticeable that all of the clouds where spinning like crazy every time i turned my head to look around, or even when i turned the aircraft.
this is also what is causing the clipping that Mav_Jp was talking about, as the darker textured clouds are spinning around and clashing with the lighter textured clouds….
A work around would be to keep the stock BMS cloud textures that make up the poor weather, and then go from there, does anyone know what they are? it’s either the Cumulus, Cirrus or Circum clouds. -

Cloud spinning is not related to textures
Yeah i realise that, but what is obvious now is that the BMS team have done a great job with making the stock cloud textures blend together to really minimise the cloud spinning effect during poor weather, which is why i’d perhaps advise not replacing those textures in 4.34,
(Edit) Ok i just went back and tested the stock clouds again and yes the spinning is actually still quite noticeable above poor weather, it’s just not quite as noticeable though as the clouds are pretty much all uniform white in colour / texture, and that is also the reason why you can’t tell when they spin and clip together.

BE AWARE
The nuno Santos mod is replacing Cirrus an CirrCum textures by CirroStratus cloud type
the problem is that normally in real Cirrostratus very rarely appear in Sunny / fair conditions so this is INCORRECT
4.34 introduce a new texture calles CirrStratus
i advise to keep 4.34 Cirrus and CirrCum textures and take the Nuno Santos texture and rename it CIrrStratus.
Or….jsut dont take any Nuno Santos High altitude textures since they do not match anymore the 4.34 weather model.

Only Nuno Santos CUMULUS.dds texture. The others are original 4.34.
Thanks! Santos and BMS Team.
Maybe it could have been from FSX or P3D, but it is Falcon 4 BMS -

any chance you can do a video?

Nope, no video, then the pictures lose in importance.
The same result is achieved by start one Instant Action - Moving Mud mission, in this case at the tiny island outside Kangnung. With the excellent Nuno Santos CUMULUS.dds texture.
My graphics settings:
GRAPHICS page: Multisampling, quality level 7
Falcon BMS Configuration: Clouds, water, rain etc, to max.
AMD driver: I don’t touch it. Just a little…
