Yes Hoongadoonga I haven't yet see those rain clouds myself. Looks really cool.

Just a reminder if you are using this mod, to be sure to download version 1.4.4 of JJJ's Mission Editor. JJJ has fixed a bug that may have prevented a couple of my clouds from displaying properly. The new version fixes that.

It has come to my attention that a few cloud types are causing the Mission Editor to hang. If you use the Mission Editor with the cloud mod, please click on the following link to download a fix for this glitch. Extract the file to your mods folder and activate the fix, allowing it to overwrite the four files in the already activated cloud mod. After a few days I will update the cloud mod to include this fix, along with a few other very minor changes.

Instead of using this fix I'd rather just wait for the updated complete mod. Sandbagger just announced that version 2.7 Is now on his mods' website. Is this the original 2.7 version (prior to the fix) or is it the new version that does include the fix?
Neither version of 2.7 listed on Sandbagger's web site or the one at the bottom of the first post of this thread contains the OCM 2.7 JJJ65 Mission Editor Fix, hoongadoonga.
However, if you haven't downloaded the Mission Editor fix, I would recommend that you wait for version 2.8. It will contain not only the JJJ65 Mission Editor fix, but also entirely new detailed weather descriptions. I have just sent it to JJJ for testing, so it should be ready for release in just a few days.

Thought I'd pitch in gents' with info. that the optional cloud mod, also several other mods, work beautifully in WOFFue served up through WineSkin on a Mac. Will hopefully post a list soon of a good order in which to install several mods, to avoid crashing in WineSkin. I also have to test Panama Red's old cockpit view mod (EnhancedCockpitView.20170127) to see if I can improve the frame rate slightly on Intel integrated cards by installing it on top of all the updates - since frame rates drop on average by 7fps when several of the cloud, seasonal texture, etc. mods are introduced into ver. 4.15 and 4.17 of WOFFue. No luck so far installing JJJ's mission editor in WineSkin since Wine doesn't play nicely with Java-based programs, but if I stumble onto something will let those flying WOFFue on Macs know.
Happy flying, Von S

~ For my various FM/AI/FPS/DM Mods. for First Eagles 2, WoFF, RoF & WoTR, and tips for FlightGear, recommended is to check over my CombatAce profile (https://combatace.com/profile/86760-vons/) and to click on the "About Me" tab while there. ~
Thanks, VonS. Glad to hear that the mod works on the Mac. Too bad you can't use the Mission Editor, though. Some of the best features of the cloud mod are only visible when used with the mission editor.

Yes, it's time for another update to the cloud mod! The new version doesn't add any new clouds, but does provide a fix for the problem that caused some clear cloud types to make the Mission Editor hang. Also, thanks to the Mission Editor, I was able to add a brief description of the cloud and wind conditions at the start of each campaign mission. This is in addition to the general weather forecast. Look for it in the weather manager window of the ME.
I also noticed that the some of the BB fog and mist clouds were not displaying properly so users were not getting the full "fog" or "mist" effect that you see in the above pic. This will be fixed in the next version of Jara's Mission Editor. Thanks, Jara!
Here is a summary of the changes in version 2.8. Please take note of the revised installation instructions:
Quote
11 December 2017 • New: New weather descriptions. Detailed information about overall weather conditions, including cloud type and cloud density, visibility, wind speed and direction, and precipitation now appear in the weather manager window of the Mission Editor. A must have before you take to the skies! • Fixed bug in clear weather cloud types which caused the Mission Editor to hang. • Revised installation instructions. • A few small additional changes and tweaks.
As always, the new version can be found at the bottom of the first post in this thread. A self-extracting version of the mod should be available on Sandbagger's web page in the near future.
Happy flying!

Thanks BB, looking forward to those atrocious weather conditions.
