Adding cloud would be nice

[Goee]

Are we going to see a visual improvement of ksp after 1.0? Adding cloud would be a first step because I think it's unrealistic having planet without cloud.

We can only hope.

Ideally I'd hope for more than one cloud though, ya know?

But what if it's a really, really big cloud?

[r4pt0r]

1 big cloud might work

[Capt Snuggler]

It's so easy to add! The cloud mod nailed it.

Come on squad one final surprise!?

For me it's not so much the realism but the immersion. Having clouds really really helps give me a sense of scale, of how high I'm flying above Kerbin.

What irritates me is they will have spent more time making the clouds in the animation video as they would have to spend to add actual clouds to the ACTUAL GAME!

Or animations for the videos but we still have not even a surface sample grabbing animation.

But don't they? I swear they have shown a surface sample animation in a blog. They just never implemented it.

Surface grabbers are (mostly) just clutter. But clouds on Kerbin and dust clouds on Duna are essential to making the game look pretty!

Just one cloud, but it's like a stalker, always just there when you're looking at it, only sneaking up on you when you're not looking. That way you only need one cloud to make it look like there's scttered clouds everywhere.

Seriously, I'd like to see clouds implemented. I'm not big on making things look pretty, but I was rather surprised how much having clouds increased immersion for me when I tried a mod that added them.

I hate to be condescending but this has been suggested dozens of times and discussed to death. Besides, there already is a mod for this.

Why hasn't this been locked yet like every other time this has been suggested?

It might well be once a moderator gets around to reading it but backseat moderation is frowned upon. From the forum rules:

You do realize you're calling the kettle black, don't you?

[Nemrav]

But if we get some clouds, we would also need more atmospheric scattering wouldnt we...

I think for the most part nice floating pictures could work except when you get close enough to fly through, then swap it for the smoke effect....

[KSK]

Nope. Care to explain?
