Uh - I always fly with 3D clouds enabled - the conditions I was experiencing at EDDM where being rendered as 2D layers *only*, I'm not sure which cloud coverage that corresponds to?

(Unless something dumb has happened and I've managed to knock that setting off, I will double-check)

I have the impression you're talking about a rendering performance limitation, which is not the case for me as of two weeks ago, thanks to my lovely new 670GTX :)
