How do I turn on the classic volumetric clouds? I'm running SL 3.0.3 and Firestorm 3.0.1.

These are the clouds that float around 200 meters or so not the ones painted on the infinitely high sky.  I've looked up some info but the menu options seem to have changed.  I can't find the Advanced Sky Editor.

Some links with info that may help.

Word on the street is that classic clouds are no more.

The Environment editor you are looking for is under World > Environment Editor > Sky Presets > Edit Presets > Select a Preset, now you can change your settings, if you save make sure you change the name or you just overrode your settings for that name.

If you just want to see the sky as a certain setting, go to World > Environment Editor > Environment Settings > Customize My Environment > Fixed Sky > Select a Sky Setting and hit OK.

Classic Clouds seem to have been eliminated in Viewer 3.0. There's still a render setting for turning them on and off, but they don't display.

They still show in older 1.x-based viewers, however, and ctrl+alt+shift+ - (pressing the ctrl, shift, alt and hyphen keys all at once) toggles their visibility.

I just checked with the Firestorm Mesh beta, and classic clouds don't exist there, either. The clouds toggle actually turns the Windlight clouds on and off instead!

Oh wow! Cool tip!

I really miss the clouds...the old ones that were so realistic...to me that was one of the great things about sl...I wish they would bring them back.
