• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX In-Cloud whiteout + particles effect

i was dwelling on this idea...

i wonder if it would be possible to have it so that whenever one flies through a cloud, a series of tiny "cloudlets" spawn around the player's aircraft, covering most of the outside visibility as to provide a dynamic "whiteout" effect


how could one proceed into such a development? i've never worked with effects for FSX before... i've made aircraft, though - and i'm familiar with C++ and general game-programming concepts

i noticed that the API exposes an "IN CLOUD" variable or something to that extent... could that be exploited as to provide a proper visual representation of being inside clouds?


and is there a way for this to be done so that the effect is globally available? (i mean, independent of scenery location or aircraft choice)


i think it would add quite a deal to immersion if this could be pulled off, so please help me out :rolleyes:


thanks in advance!
