    The cirrus clouds are generated by a shader and are not controllable from the mission editor settings unfortunately. One workaround for this would be: 1.) Disable the mod in your mod manager 2.) Make a copy of the mod folder and rename it "bandit648 Weather Mod v15 - no cirrus". 3.) Edit the file \bandit648 weather mod v15 - no cirrus\Bazar\shaders\enlight\cirrus.fx change line 32 to this: static const float cirrusThickness = 0; When you want to fly the middle-east region with no cirrus, just enable the "no cirrus" version of the mod in your mod manager. The "Default" preset will have a completely clear sky.

    The default cirrus fade in and out every 3 minutes. I'm no expert but I found this to be unrealistc. In the mod I increased the time they fade in/out to over 24 hours so they would stay throughout a typical mission. I may change this again in a future update.

    The mod does not change the orginal presets, it just adds new ones. If you have an old mission that uses one of the orginal presets you can still play it un-changed with the same weather. Only the cirrus clouds will look different.

    Hi All, I updated the mod today to version 14. The user files is acting strange again and not showing the changes properly. You can use this direct link to download the update for now. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/upload/userfiles/13a/oe850o6qwn0k7r3z2scd3yu6vxdlq90w/bandit648_Weather_Mod_v14.zip

    From the newsletter today: Three different helmets with 4 separate liveries What is that supposed to mean? I can't find any different helmet models. Is there going to be modelviewer update to allow for the new ".edce" files to be read? If not, that sucks. Everything appears to be locked down/encryped with this new F-5E.

    12/04/2024 - Updated to version 13 -Updated for compatibility with DCS 2.9.10.3948 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3335023/

    V12 is NOT compatible with 2.9.10.3948. I'm working on updating the mod right now and hopefully have it out soon. The new fog is a big improvement, but it's still a little buggy. I've noticed some flickering in the fog and artifacts in the cloud rendering so far.
  10. bandit648
    Anyone else excited for the new fog in the next update? Make sure you uninstall my mod before the next update considering there appears to be some serious changes to the weather system on deck. I'll try to get a update out ASAP.

    The cirrostratus should be very high base altitude or they won't look right. Should be between 20000 - 40000ft.
  12. bandit648
    They are similar, just coverage amount increases incrementally. Correct. There are no changes to the cloud rendering so there is no difference in performance to default clouds. Heavy clouds with precipitation (with my mod, or default) does take a performance hit however. This is most noticeable in VR where flying through rain shafts can really tank performance.

    Thank you all for the positive comments! I'd really like to keep adding to the mod but I've sort of hit the limits of what the current weather engine can do. For example, I'd like to add more cirrus cloud textures. Currently the game can only use 4 texture files for cirrus. I'd also like to see better density and contrast in the clouds. Hopefully the weather engine will make its way back into the development cycle for ED soon.

    Looks like User Files isn't syncing for some reason. I tried updating it again but it still isn't showing the update. For now you can go here and click the DOWNLOAD button: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/user-is-bandit648/apply/ Don't click on the Details page, it will take you to version 11.
  15. bandit648
    Agreed! This and Arttu's Light fix are now in my mod folder.

    10/30/2024 - Updated to version 12 -Minor update of files for compatibility with DCS 2.9.9.2280
  17. bandit648
    It won't change the weather in missions using the default weather presets. You will notice much better looking cirrus clouds though.

    First attempt at a DCS video

    I just love the new pilot model and animations for the viper so I made a video.
  20. bandit648
    No. I believe it resets to DCS default.

    Hey guys, Minor update to the mod today. I added the requested thumbnails with yellow outline for the cloud presets. This makes it easier to find the mod preset versus the default ones. 10/11/2024 - Updated to version 11 - Updated cloud preset thumbnails. The Mod thumbnails are now outlined in yellow for better visibility. Thanks to forum user ggrewe for help with this. - Fixed issue with cloud presets being out of order
  22. bandit648
    Yes, no changes to the mod were required with the latest DCS update.

    Reverb G2 since January 2021. I'm in the market for an upgrade, and was considering the Quest 3 but I just ordered the Crystal Light today!
  24. bandit648
    Yep, looks like the Gazelle. Mystery solved. I didn't know you could remove the doors on it.
  25. bandit648
    Wishful thinking on my part for the Cobra. I still can't figure out what kind of helicopter that is in the video though.
