    Two questions:

    1 - Do I have to select a cloud type every time I fly to use this or do the cloud presets select themselves pending the weather type?
    2 - Does this work in tandem with things like Activesky? e.g. active sky running won't change your clouds, but they can still be used together?

    These presets are self contained and are not designed to be used with live weather or other addons intentionally.

    Cant unzip errors claiming path is to long
    FloydAuthor

    Hi Jenny - Windows has a limit on how long a path can be and the total length will be the sum of the lengths encoded in the zip file plus the location in your hard drive that you unzip to. The chances are that if you unzip the zip file onto your desktop first and then transfer the package to the community folder it will ok. I found it easier to move the default Packages folder to "C:\MSFS2024\Packages\" by modifying the UserCfg.opt file's InstalledPackagesPath which can be found at the bottom of the file. This also provides space in "C:\MSFS2024" for other libraries etc. There is an explanation here: https://channellfd.com/msfs-better-community-folder/ that might help, but if its not clear then don't mess with it. I will revise the instructions to make the process easier to follow. I will also look into ways to shorten the file names in the package so you don’t get an error, but that’s not something I can do quickly since it will make maintenance more error prone.

    Version History

    Reason for update: There is a known Microsoft bug which becomes active when the sim's Measurement Units are set to 'Hybrid'. In this situation, the wind values in weather presets will be treated as kilometres/hour by multiplying them by 1.852. The net result is that all wind values are nearly doubled for no reason. This causes a problem in the Epic Clouds because the Winds Aloft values were high already and that has erroneously elevated the wind speed at lower altitudes quite drastically in some cases. Until this bug has been cleared by Microsoft, all the winds aloft speeds have now been lowered to moderate values so that they no longer adversely affect the lower altitudes.
