[REL] HD Cloud Improvement

These textures were tested on a moderately high-end machine, with no real performance issues on max-settings, I would not recommend using this texture pack on a machine that struggles with performance.

-To install, simply drop the ImprovedClouds folder into your Cliffs of Dover directory (steam example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover)
-Add -ImprovedClouds to your steam launch options or to your target line on a normal shortcut

Please report back if you notice any issues, performance hits, or any suggestions for improvement. Thanks.

I do think you need to have sfsMod v1.1 installed for this to work

Ah! Sorry ive made an error in my readme, dont just add -ImprovedClouds,
add -mod=ImprovedClouds
Sorry will edit the original post. That should work.

How to make a shortcut to launch plz?

If you have it on steam, right click it and hit properties, then launch options, and add
-mod=ImprovedClouds

To make a regular shortcut, find your .exe file and right click, create shortcut, and add -mod=ImprovedClouds to your target line.
