FS-X is a wonderful tool for generating screenshots, but you have to bear in mind that these are largely 2D images which do a crazy dance if you try and get in among them - FS-X just isn't build for properly volumetric clouds and whilst you can generate some stunning flat images with burnt-in shadows on the ground and REX clouds behind you, they don't look nearly as good in close-up motion as they do in a still.

I'd take less detail in properly rendered 3D clouds any day!

indeed! + 1 or something, maybe 800.
Just look at ROF they have 3D clouds and they look better when you are moving, although you get a strange white out when you fly near them. This also happens in il2
