Clouds disappear

Couldn´t find a related thread.

Flying in SP, the clouds suddenly disappeared after hitting F2 a few times. This happened a couple of times before. This time I had shadowplay background recording enabled. Unfortunately I missed to save the replay. If it happens again I will save the track. No audio, as I was listening to copyrighted music.

Static weather setting was used.

DCS 1.2.11 Open Beta

Anyone else noticed this?

They never re-drew themselves?

Thinking it was maybe a temp. thing?

This is a long standing reported issue, switching views will make the clouds disappear, used unfortunately to an advantage in multiplayer.

...but the altitude of your aircraft at 0:50 and 0:55 aren't match! Different scenes!

...or is it just video mixing issue?

No. They didn´t redrew.

Thanks. This is bad. I hope it will be better with EDGE.

And for MP: I´m a fan of disabling external views on the server-side.

The MiG shown in external view at low altitude is a AI MiG, it is not me. The video is raw. Only Audio removed, annotations via youtube, otherwise untouched.

Easy bug to reproduce: put clouds in a mission, goto F10 and click on Beslan airbase (furthest east on map) then goto F11, then go back to F10 and click on Anapa - go F11 and see the clouds vanish.
