UFO appearing in the clouds ...

In recent times, in the various releases of FGFS, these strange objects appear in the sky ... they are solitary shadows that do not have the corresponding cloud above ... is it possible to correct this defect?

True :D so how can we organize ourselves to repel UFOs?

I don't know how the mechanism works, I think they are impostors who position themselves under clouds that are inexistent or not visible because of the distance, what do you think? If I'm not mistaken, you had done a similar job with the shadows on the ground, but in this case if there are shadows without the corresponding cloud you don't notice the problem.

You could of course just increase cloud density to 100%, the problem is fundamentally caused by the renderer being instructed to only show a random part of each cloud which may not create the visuals you like - but that was relevant for the graphics cards 10 years ago.
