You did a great Job on V5.1 with EA mode! Hopefully LM gives you much more controllability

I am on my way from ENVA to EDDF and have seen so many nice clouds which I never saw before. HiFi really nailed it and that probably with the current "restrictions" or "limited use" of truesky.

If LM would implement more cloud variations, especially thunderstorm clouds/cumulonimbus and more variations for overcast conditions, this would be a real step forward. The overcast conditions are still "a bit" "grid like", but you got probably no (more) control about that I assume.

But again...YOU did make a lot out of it as it currently is! I let ASP3D use their own volumetric cloud cfg. This settings is probably the most important one as you seem to understand how to proper use the parameters within this cfg.

@damian : Great Job AND I would really like to see more of your great work as soon as LM let you "use the truesky sdk" further or they give you more controllability about truesky functionality!

Further Whishes:
More Cloud variations! Especially Thunderstorms, Cumulus and for broken conditions
Reduce the Grid which can still be seen from above
Smooth weather transitions as this quick cloud rebuild is a bit .....well......"odd" ;-)

But I like it so far.

Yes, that is the biggest issue with EA clouds atm. We hope things get better very soon.

Can we have a Master.cfg with the best settings to use EA.

There are so many options to konfigurate this Tool

There are no such things as best settings. LM will likely change these values drastically with each update so each new version is essentially a fresh start. If you'd like the default LM settings (probably the closest thing to recommended), check the "Disable EA volumetric cloud control" option. We plan to continuously improve our own setting though and when things actually stop changing fundamentally in each update, we should be able to really polish this so user's won't have to worry about it at all.
