Hi all,

This is for the meteorology enthusiasts among us.

I've produced 60 weather presets, combining cloud data of around 15 real-life cloud types. 

Though fellow simmers have already released absolutely outstanding and beautiful presets here, I produced this set as I was interested to see how real life cloud types would look like in the Sim if their meteorological parameters are inserted accurately, with regards to the right altitude, density and coverage for each cloud type. I'm quite impressed by how accurately the Sim is capable of reflecting all of them.

Though I usually prefer flying with live weather, using a preset can sometimes bring a new experience as it allows you to choose from a variety of weather scenarios that otherwise rarely occur where you want to fly.

All presets feature the standard atmosphere with a westerly wind. 

Installation:

Extract the downloaded zip file and drop the folder in your Community folder.

The following cloud types and combinations are included, as observable in real life (in alphabetical order). Each preset features one, two or three cloud layers.

For reference, this is what the latin cloud types names mean in English:

• Altocumulus castellanus: High level tower-like heaps; usually found between 2,000-7,000 meters
• Altocumulus floccus: High level flaky heaps; usually found between 2,000-7,000 meters
• Altostratus fibratus: High level fibrous layer; usually found between 2,000-7,000 meters
• Altostratus nebulosus: High level foggy layer; usually found between 2,000-7,000 meters
• Cirrocumulus floccus: Very high level flaky heaps; usually found between 6,000-18,000 meters
• Cirrostratus nebulosus: Very high level foggy layer; usually found between 6,000-18,000 meters
• Cirrus fibratus: Very high level fibrous clouds; usually found between 6,000-18,000 meters
• Cirrus floccus: Very high level flaky clouds; usually found between 6,000-18,000 meters
• Cumulonimbus: Low- to high level heaped rain clouds; usually found between 6,000-18,000 meters

Neuester Changelog for 1.1

- Fixed a few cloud sets where wind was missing.
- Fixed a could set that was broken and did not appear in the Sim menu.
- Fixed a few of the 3 layered cloud sets that weren't clearly recognisable as '3 layer could sets'.
