• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Cloud and Fog Issues? FPS Hits?

I can confirm that the suggestion to half the cloud size significantly reduced the fps impact of volumetric clouds on my system. Also, the stuttering is gone (p3d v2.3).
I don't like the term "volumetric" in that context, by the way. The cloud rendering is not volumetric if you adhere to the meaning this word suggests, it is just an intelligent way of arranging the 2d cloud sprites around the camera.

Cheers,
Mark
