Our weather has improved much with the addition of [[advanced weather]]. To enable it, you must open the Environment > Weather dialog, then check "Detailed Weather" and click "OK". With advanced weather enabled, clouds are placed while taking the terrain and wind patterns into account, making for much more realistic cloud and weather patterns. Advanced weather works best with [[atmospheric light scattering]] enabled as well. | Our weather has improved much with the addition of [[advanced weather]].

This is an old [https://www.flightgear.org/tours/advanced-weather-v1-4-in-flightgear-2-6/ 2012 article] on how the advanced weather system works and is driven by terrain. It's definitely is worth reading. | This is an old [https://www.flightgear.org/tours/advanced-weather-v1-4-in-flightgear-2-6/ 2012 article] on how the advanced weather system works and is driven by terrain.

Environment > Weather > Detailed weather > Advanced options dialogue has a lot of options that affect weather. The cloud shadows options is there. The ground haze and haze structure simulates moisture. The smog slider should also be used for the organic smog of forests in areas such as the Blue Mountains of Australia, the Blue Ridge mountains of USA, and some forests in countries like France or Italy. Turning up convective conditions and turbulence will affect cloud shape as thermals get stronger and narrower. | <tt>Environment > Weather > Detailed weather > Advanced options</tt> dialogue has a lot of options that affect weather.

The [[Weather#Weather_pattern_scales|scale sliders]] in the Advanced options dialogue affect how quickly the weather changes over space. For instance it's easier to get a single storm cell with skies mostly clear elsewhere by making the scales smaller. | The [[Weather#Weather_pattern_scales|scale sliders]] in the Advanced options dialogue affect how quickly the weather changes over space.
