Fix needed for Cloud imposters

[Rich]

Some time ago I had problems with cloud imposters, Peter I think it was, provided a Fs9.cfg fix which after FSX beta testing and having so many bluescreen crashes I had to reformat which effectivly wiped the Fs9.cfg.

I have searched the forum but can find no reference to that fix, can anyone help please.

Rich,

You can get rid of cloud imposters in the UI by setting 3D clouds to 100%...I don't allow cloud imposters in my system, they look dreadful.

Here is my Weather section from my FS9.cfg file:-

[Weather]
WindshieldPrecipitationEffects=1
MinGustTime=10
MaxGustTime=500
MinGustRampSpeed=1
MaxGustRampSpeed=200
MinVarTime=5
MaxVarTime=50
MinVarRampSpeed=10
MaxVarRampSpeed=75
TurbulenceScale=1.000000
DefaultVisibility=0
DynWx_MedianDewPointSpread=10.000000
DynWx_ProbCloudFormForMedianDewPoint=0.000500
DynWx_MaxDewPointSpread=50.000000
DynWx_ProbCloudFormForMaxDewPoint=0.000125
DynWx_ProbCloudFormForMinDewPoint=0.100000
DynWx_DryTempLapsePer1000Meters=9.000000
DynWx_ProbCloudFormForDryTempLapse=0.000500
DynWx_MoistTempLapsePer1000Meters=3.300000

DynWx_MaxProbCloudChangePerMinute=0.040000
DynWx_MultiplierForDynamicWeatherLevelMild=0.500000
DynWx_MultiplierForDynamicWeatherLevelNormal=1.000000
DynWx_MultiplierForDynamicWeatherLevelHigh=3.000000
DynWx_MultiplierForDynamicWeatherLevelExtreme=10.000000
DynWx_TempChangePercentageForOvercastClouds=0.750000
DynWx_TempChangePercentageForMinDewPoint=0.700000
DynWx_MaxTempChangePerMinute=0.060000
WeatherServerAddress=fs2k.zone.com
WeatherServerPort=80
WeatherGraphDataInDialog=0
DynamicWeather=1
LOADWEATHER=1
MAX_UNLIMITED_VIS=96560
CLOUD_DRAW_DISTANCE=3
3D_CLOUD_PERCENT=100
DETAILED_CLOUDS=1
CLOUD_COVERAGE_DENSITY=6
CloudsImpostorRingRadius=48000.000000
DownloadWindsAloft=1
DisableTurbulence=0


The relevant clause is "3D_CLOUD_PERCENT=100"

Thanks Peter thats the one I remembered the CloudsImpostorRingRadius=48000.000000 bit but not the 3D 100% thats why it kept going back to the 24000.000000 setting.

Thanks again, I will keep this copy safe
