Just a few handy-dandy cloud type charts and distance conversions, useful for setting up realistic real-world weather for Combat Flight Simulator 2 (as well as Flight Simulator) flights and missions. Includes two charts in PNG format, a text file with descriptions, as well as a PDF format version of the charts and text.
Cloud Types
-----------
Cumulus Clouds:
1,000 Feet - 6,600 Feet (304.8 Meters - 2,011.68 Meters)
Low altitude, fluffy heaps of clouds with cotton-like appearance.
Stratus Clouds:
0 Feet - 7,000 Feet (0 Meters - 2,133.6 Meters)
Low to mid altitude, gray featureless cloud capable of ground contact.
Thunderstorm (Cumulonimbus) Clouds:
2,000 Feet - 52,000 Feet (609.6 Meters - 15,849.6 Meters)
Mid to high altitude, dark-based cloud capable of impressive vertical growth.
Cirrus Clouds:
13,000 Feet - 66,000 Feet (3,962.4 Meters - 20,116.8 Meters)
High altitude, delicate and wispy clouds with white strands.
2 Kilometers = 1.24 Miles = 6,562 Feet
3 Kilometers = 1.86 Miles = 9,843 Feet
4 Kilometers = 2.49 Miles = 13,123 Feet
6 Kilometers = 3.73 Miles = 19,685 Feet
8 Kilometers = 4.97 Miles = 26,247 Feet
9 Kilometers = 5.59 Miles = 29,528 Feet
10 Kilometers = 6.21 Miles = 32,808 Feet
12 Kilometers = 7.46 Miles = 39,370 Feet
10 Miles = 16093.4 Meters
15 Miles = 24,140.16 Meters
20 Miles = 32,186.9 Meters
30 Miles = 48,280.3 Meters
40 Miles = 64,373.8 Meters
50 Miles = 80,467.2 Meters
