Question re: atmospherics

[chris455]

Can someone fill me in on how to compose overcast at a specific altitude?

I can see there are a number of "canned" overcast models in the Mission Properties, but there is also. "Height" field and a "Level" field (IIRC).

If I wanted to, say, create a cloud deck (overcast)

whose lower surface began at 2000m, and was 100 m thick, how would I do this?

Thank you in advance.

See "Mission Atmosphere Options Dialog" on pg. 205 of the IL-2 Sturmovik Mission Editor and Multiplayer Server Manual".

 

For your example, set Clouds to 04_Overcast_00, Level to 2000 and Height to 150 (the minimum height allowed for 04_Overcast_00). Note that these values are based on my understanding of clouds when I wrote the manual. The clouds feature changed in release 3.001 to allow two decks of clouds in some cases and I haven't tested the changes yet.
