I was the first plane it saw after it hatched.

This was a basic test but I still have to have a really good play with REX and Shade. In fact this is a pretty bad image, I have gotten better clouds etc. Thanks for the input though...always welcome and I will undoubtedly need more in the future. -Tom

Thanks Guys. I think I cracked it. I was advised to go into Customised weather and advanced settings. I set the cloud base for cumulus to 3000 -9500 ish with a broken setting of 5-8 and I get MUCH nicer clouds.

This may seem a weird question but... I have noticed in many screen shots and especially in the Playsims Southern Scotland promotional screen shots there are lovely, BIG drifting puffy clouds. I have FSX and Rex but I still, for the most part , seem to get relatively small, puffy cotton ball clouds littering the sky no matter what I try. Am I missing a trick here? Where are the BIG sprawlling grey clouds with the occasional breaks of blue I seem to see everywhere in screen shots? This is what I get... ...this is what I would love...

Too right... I can't wait to fly over my local at Dores on Loch Ness!!

Thought you might like to see some of my screen shots...just for fun.

Woo hoo! Its here! Now all I have to do is fix my pc!

I'm waiting by the door for my copy to hit the mat! Should be tomorrow...hopefully. I can't wait for a Highlands volume to be released. This is where I had my first real helicopter flight and I'd love to relive it from the right hand seat this time! This is a wondrous place and Im excited to fly a virtual version, especially with REX plugged in.

Hello all. Im a newbie to this forum and to Sims. Just getting set up with my pc and software. I live in Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. In fact Im sitting in a pub on Loch Ness right now. My wife HATES my interest in simming and I kid you not, she genuinely HATES it! Im mostly interested in helicopters and ideally bombing around photo realistic scenery...at the moment. I barely know how to use FSX, I certainly know NOTHING of navigation, instrument use or real world flight procedure but look forward to learning the stuff that will add realism and fun. I am a special effects artist b
