Weather to "Nothing" = better framerate

[Moxica]

That gave a couple of advantages in VR.
I opened a troublesome mission (frame rate-wise) in mission editor, and set weather to "Nothing"
-Shimmering clouds gone, and much better framerate.

Well, isn´t obvious? If you don´t have to render the clouds, your graphics load are lower so you get better framerate, same applies to the differents cloud profiles, the ones with heavy layers of clouds are mor taxing than the light ones

There should be a global setting for those clouds. Opening ME before each new missions is no good solution. 
Not sure if possible on campaigns. 
Also; It goes to show that the new clouds are really bad for VR, and not a very elegant implementation.

DCS needed a revamp on weather system and thinking that changing the old cloud engine based on sprites for a volumetric one without a performance penalty its non realistic, you cant expect that Crysis runs like Quake 2, what i dont take "not a very elegant implementation"?

About a global setting for weather system maybe you can create a topic on whishlist, i dont see why not

Turn off everything and you will get better framerate. Genius. Now I need to convince all admins to turn off weather on their servers.

Well, for me, turning weather to "Nothing" and shadows off, made the difference between running a mission, or a slideshow.
Entering ME to improve performance isn't all that obvious.
