No, I read you Jester. But even from your writing, it could appear to have written that it is still somewhat playable from the decent fps you get from 1024x768, thus I came to conclude 3d clouds wouldn't be
too bad, even if it "kills it." If you have played Flightgear in Transgear event with the same on board chip, which I had assumed you did, then it would only further my point. However, you never mentioned any of that and wrote those comments. Either way, thank you for your comments.
