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.

<tt>Environment > Weather > Detailed weather > Advanced options</tt> | The dialogue <tt>Environment > Weather > Detailed weather > Advanced options</tt> has a lot of options that affect weather. The cloud shadows options is there. The ground haze and haze structure options simulate 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. | ||
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.
