Sorry my friend but i think i gave you false information, regarding the clouds issue,it was a while back that i had this problem. but i managed to dig up an old cfs3 install i had kept for back up. and the shots below are how it appeared, Here is how i solved the prob. At the time some of my installs had this problem and other installs were ok. so i copied the contents of the folder "weather" from the effects folder, from a good copy of cfs3 and pasted them into the corresponding folder into the install i was having problems with, let them overwrite. BACK UP FIRST. and that solved the issue.
