Hmmm, mayhaps he had this airport in mind as a part of his getaway. Maybe a cub sit'n here wait'n for him. Well, he took the 16bit cloud textures and turned them into 8bit textures. Best part is that there is no difference in the way the clouds look. I was amazed.
Clouds are extremely important for realism.
In fact they have been a top subject in the sim vs. sim wars. And indeed may have been one of the deciding factors for some simmers in choosing a sim. In my own experience, I've never been able to use clouds much, in fact lowering visibility to 5 mi or so was the only way to run 2K for a year and a half. Zinged by the time-machine once again. Much stronger than I have been in recent memory.
