With regards to folks participating in Historic Encounters, would you like to continue using the new clouds, or would you prefer to revert back to the old clouds for better system performance?

I'll keep an eye on this poll for a bit. As of right now, it would appear we will keep the new fluffy clouds.

However, I will remain sensitive to more demanding maps. For instance, my testing of Normandy 1944 tonight has lead me to use the old clouds and reduce the Squadron Density. This will hopefully address system performance, as Normandy is a rather large map to play.

Interesting about the new cloud setting, it seems that you have to re-generate the campaign using the new setting. I would have thought one could just change the parameter and generate the next mission using the alternative cloud setting. Seems to work ok for QuickMissions and Dogfight servers. Maybe just me?

Anyway, the fluffy clouds will continue to be used for smaller, less demanding maps, and should we use another larger one like Normandy I will use the old ones in an attempt to ensure everyone's system works well.

See you guys tomorrow night!
