Double Cloud layer: How?

[jollyjack]

Just saw a mountain mist layer on the Kuban Havoc campaign hanging between the mountains.

Above it was a clear plm 1000 meters sky space, and then a cloud layer above it.

How do you program that?

Do you have a screenshot?

Cloud types 6,7,8 and 9 all have dual layers with cirrus clouds above the lower types.

 

I'm not sure who posted this reference spreadsheet, but it is very helpful when selecting weather types.

Now how to tune this "right" with a little more density for the upper layer:

I guess you just try one "cloud and haze" layer after another in Full mission editor, until you are satisfied with the result, or until you get one as close as possible to what you want to see.

I think one of the other cloud types.. 4 or 5, has thicker clouds above. Look at the images in the spreadsheet 

 

Also Vendigo is right, if it is early or late in the day, selecting ground fog and haze will add a thin cloud layer near the surface

When you have selected the types with double cloud layer, then you can play with the altitudes too. It will make some differences.

Besides that you need to try the various combinations of atmospheric parameters.
