Excellent screenshots. Would you mind sharing your advanced weather settings, as I've been trying and have failed to get clouds like that?

Best,
Jonathan

It's just the Fair Weather scenario. Maybe the terrain plays a part?

You did not manually tune the advanced advanced weather settings then, in the weather dialog? And yep, terrain does play a huge part. But I have hardly ever gotten anything more but cumulus :)

That's moderately surprising, as 'Fair Weather' maps to 'High Pressure Core' internally, which has Cu clouds only with low probability (sinking airmass suppressing any cloud development). What's seen in Parnikkapore's shots is pretty much what I typically get for 'Fair Weather'.

I see, thank you ;). I tend to use live weather, but I'll try with Fair Weather in a few days. Many thanks.
