Y'know what.....it doesn't matter man. You think they were 'fine' previously, and that one of the previous patches was the cause, I don't. It just made it worse. I'm a bit bemused how a GTX580 couldn't do the job as well as your 8800 at the time, and make the performance 'fine', but its a crazy world we live in Dano. Thats Ok and we can agree to disagree I suppose.

Cheers.

Orville, I apologise mate, I've just re-read everything and must admit I misread your first reply and as such I'm in the wrong here. Sorry.

So you put in the effort to make them, I think you should get reports on how they do on differnt setups.
Well i've tried them.
Normaly I'm getting around 55 > 60 fps.
the worst it gets with The first three is 38 FPS.
Everything up to to and including the full overcast is ok minum FPS there is 25 averaging 32.
The thundercloud brought my set to it knees averaging 8 FPS.
Thanks for making these availble.

been trying this myself, the expected happened, performance coming down below 15FPS, 8-10FPS at worst, mostly 25-20FPS, sometimes above, but the uneven frame rate (and stutters) are the real issue, it oscillates so wildly at times the average frame rate means nothing.

that aside, some flickering clouds, their colour and lightning is too even causing some lack of depth perception (at least for my eye); clouds look good from a certain angle and not so great form another, but overall they will definitely add another dimension; this test revived the notion that something's been lacking. not that great aesthetically speaking, big performance hit, but great potential there.

noted that the engine drops power dearly through thick clouds, preventing from climb and sometimes even maintaining altitude, maybe too exaggerated? didn't try the carburetor heater though.

thanks for sharing the test!

I dont have the problems you are describing.
Only the low FPS in Thundercloud mis.
