Realistic Clouds for FS2004

Realistic Clouds refreshes the FS2004 sky with higher-contrast, carefully recoloured cloud textures that deliver crisp high-altitude formations, golden sunsets, clear dawn light, heavy overcasts, and dramatic thunderstorms. Compact 86 kB textures preserve smooth performance and pair especially well with weather engines such as ActiveSky2004; requires no additional utilities.

FS9 clouds with improved contrast and recoloured for a realistic sky-scape. Pristine high-altitude clouds, golden sunsets, clear dawns, brooding overcasts and moody thunderstorms. No framerate impact because of small texture size (86kB). Extensively tested with no apparent issues. The screenshots were made with the great ActiveSky2004 running (payware) and the vastly improved dawn/dusk effects by Thomas Grillo installed. These are available here (dwndsk04.zip - a must have file in my opinion).
