Save your energy for other things.
Ilya said all the clouds are redone from scratch, so when this weather engine will be fully suported, it will come with brand new clouds.

ye, a lot of the effects don't seem to be implemented yet. Such as the effects of thunderstorms.

Now THAT'S more like British weather.

Not bad.
But still not an overcast.
And still no alto-stratus.

It is possible to get a full, 100% covering overcast I believe, but the adjustment sliders in the FMB are all messed up in my game, so I´m not able to tweak properly.

How does it work exactly?

When I click on 'weather map', I just get this screen-sized grey texture. (?)

What you need to do is open the window you use when adding planes and artillery and all that. Then from the objects list, choose Local Weather. Place it where you want it by pressing Insert. Now go to the properties, and enter a much larger radius (I used 55.000 for the screenshots), just to make something more than a single puff of clouds. "Rain" and "Dynamic" can be ticked, but they don't make any difference to me. There are also additional settings, but they are all screwed up in my FMB, don't know how they look in others'. Generally the weather system feels very buggy and experimental at the moment, but it kind of works.

Have fun and post screenshots!

Great SS's.

It is a performance hit, and I couldn't get the rain to work on the thundercloud, but it's still neat, and fun to mess about creating a weather system.
