is there any mention on Clouds?

The clouds in IL2:GB are awesome, beautiful to look up from the ramp and see that its a cloudy day.   They move with the wind, shadow the ground, produce moisture one canopy, and Layer up!

The one thing that is just bothering me the most about this sim is when aircraft get near or in from of them. Aliasing is still pretty bad when you're tracking an aircraft and they pass in front of a cloud, they'll pixelate and/or distort...disappear...  Sometimes an aircraft close to you will somehow pass behind a cloud on the horizon?  

Another Item is that when flying near clouds, the clouds will be moving like they're alive, or turning and changing shape, having a wavy design, this is very distracting.

And then there's the part where you can see ground explosions through clouds.

 

Its awesome that we are getting further development with technology for the aircraft, and newer aircraft for the bodenplatte series but can we do something about these clouds?

I love clouds!  Its fun Playing hide and go seek in them with that pesky enemy aircraft to see who comes out on top. 

 

it hurts my heart, when i'm flying with a buddy who's new to the sim and he's asking me "whats up with the clouds?"  and i gotta say "ya thats just how they are, if someone goes in just follow their prop."

 

Anywho, Devs, I love this game.  I hope its around for years to come and keeps improving.  I just got me a new warthog to take away my 20% deadzone that ive been flying with since alpha.  I am not gonna drop your product, 

I just would like the clouds fixed Please?????

 

Keep up the good work!

We all would like it fixed. 

 

Unfortunately there apparently is no fix on the horizon, at least for the aliasing issue. It’s just that problematic. According to the devs, it is actually fairly easy to eliminate: Simply have the aliasing of the clouds and the aircraft rendering synch up. The problem is, that doing so causes performance to TANK, and so far no solution has been found to circumvent this. (I hope that explanation was passably accurate - this is what I recall being told)

 

The devs invested a lot of time and effort into making the clouds look great. It’s really sad to see their awesome work marred by this, but I can sympathize with their unwillingness to tear it all down and recode from scratch with no guarantee, that it’ll turn out better.

Slight lateral move, I haven't hunted or hidden in clouds much online, is there anything I should be aware of?
