Lots of fun. I have scraped some paint off my wings on a few attempts but never broke anything

I’d pay to see that in real life.

@will2360 Very atmospheric! Would you mind sharing the settings (date, time, weather preset)?

No way- some of these shots are LITERALLY almost indistinguishable from reality.
The second the the third could have fooled me any day of the week.

Those DoF settings are on point. No matter how hard I try to tweak the DoF values in the lua I can never get anything crisp or consistent.

I created some custom cloud presets that produce a scattered showers and thunderstorms effect. I hope to release it as a mod soon.

Yes, which makes it surprising that no one has done it yet. \Config\Effects\clouds.lua is where the presets are defined. It’s very easy to add additional ones. The hard part is figuring out what all the different parameters do and producing something that looks good.
I’ve done some other things also like remove the base and thickness altitude limits in the mission editor for fog and clouds. I can’t believe ED didn’t add some more presets when they released the moving clouds update.

Oh man, no sh!t. Brilliant connection- I missed that one…
And brilliant movie.
Got any cliff’s notes on the variables? I’d like to make some presets for a weather injector to have some more variety—there’s a lack of single-layer cloud presets in DCS as it is.
I’m going to try to get the mod uploaded to user files tomorrow so you can check it out. In the meantime, here’s few more screenshots.
