Thread: Freeware Cloud Addon?

  1. Default Freeware Cloud Addon?

    Hello,
    Does anyone know of a good freeware cloud addon. I want to upgrade the default fsx weather and was want a high quality addon. Space and frame rate impacts are not important to me. If it also upgrade the weather driver itself then, well, bonus!

    Go spend money and get REX Essential. You won't regret it.

    He plainly asked about freeware, so ... Oscar Clouds 3 (oscarcl3.zip) is available in the file library here. Give it a try. It won't change the default FSX weather engine: it's improved cloud texture.

    Thanks!
    I will try it out. I have heard great things about REX, but I am a freeware person (or just to cheap to get it ).

    You want freeware?
    you want great hi res clouds?
    Look for freeware HDE on flightsim (hde.zip)

    Would you be able to post a screenshot? I'm interested in this cloud improvement idea. I'm also too cheap to buy stuff unless I really like it.

    The closest thing I can get to an REX alternative. HDE upgrades the sky colors, clouds and changes something else (general textures I believe) an Oscar Clouds 3 updates the clouds. I used the highest (HD for both) resolution possible for both. HDE is converted for fsx on Simviation.

    And Oscar Clouds is as, ftldave said, is available right here.
