If this is in a campaign, I don't believe it can change until you start a new campaign with whatever settings you want.

Just so you have an idea on what to look for....the top picture is the OLD CLOUDS and the bottom picture is the NEW CLOUDS. Personally, I think the old clouds are better looking and they give you a faster frame rate. The two screenshots are from the same QMB mission...same settings and same moment in the mission.

I agree and that's the reason I was hooked by your message and trying to apply it to my system.

I feel now a perfect idiot asking for difference, but, while I've no doubt looking at your pictures and detecting old and new clouds as you point out... I'm unsure when watching at my own. Please give a glance to screenshot I'm attaching and give me your opinion.

Thank you,
GB

Your Clouds settings are working fine...I can easily see the difference. Basically, the new clouds look more 'solid', almost like they were painted on the map. The old clouds look more 'wispy'...more natural, in my opinion.

In the end, I suppose it's personal preference, aside from the frame rate issue. Here are some more examples:


Old Clouds:


New Clouds:
