Here is a couple of pictures of my FS2004 install with no modifications to the clouds at all. No problems on framerates at all.

Yes FS9 3D default clouds are really very good...I remember when beta testing FS9 that a Chinese lady was the main brains behind all the weather aspects including the dynamic weather. I like all her weather except the "imposters" in the distance and I keep them away by setting 3D clouds to 100%. Now I use REX clouds and they are an improvement but as your pictures show, the default is rather lovely too :)

thats the real beauty of flight....a simple aircraft, no hurries whatsoever to go anywhere, just going...and enjoying the scenery ;)
I flew in one of these once...from Tires to Sintra, where we have the Air Museum now...I could see cables and wires passing me, and I remember having a bit of a difficulty getting aboard...I'm 1,99 mts, I'm a bit tall, one could say, and found it hard to get in ;)
lovely experience by the way !!!

As for teh clouds, I'm using a freeware package now, but I agree, the default clouds are also very good....we tend to go back to the real thing, I supose,...thats why I keep all the original files backed up, in case I change my mind ;)

You want me to post some more screenshots?

All I did was play around with the settings till I got something that looked good.
