Pete: The clouds try to stay at least 500 meters above the highest point on the landscape. There are several solutions: 1) Try to lower the cloud elevations. 2) Load the largest landscape area you can. If you are using a small landscape, Enlarge it to fill the landscape area. 3) Try to have hills or mountains on the horizon. In small mode, the horizon is only about 5 miles away at the best case, so you can suffer from the "edge of the world" phenomena. A Large landscape is about 10 miles wide, and a Huge one is about 20 miles wide. As you can see, the Large and Huge give you much farther horizons, and make it harder to see off the edge. 4) Sky Haze can cause the horizon to blend into the clouds. If you use a low enough cloud elevation and large enough Haze (around 50 – 100 should be plenty), you won't see the division between the bottom of the clouds and the horizon.
