Cloud desyncing

[Its-Just-Luci]

Clouds desync due to apparent differences in rotational speed, this will be on the "fix later" list for the time being

Is that what is causing the blurry/duplicated cloud textures I have here. Apart from that it looks amazing.

I think I managed to fix it by small changes in the rotation speed around the y-axis. Every cloud layer rotates on a circle of radius = planet radius + layer altitude. In your config all layers have the same speed of 15m/s, so the upper layers begin to lag behind the lower layers with time

This is correct.

All one has to do is calculate the distance (circumference of Earth/Kerbin radius + altitude) that each cloud layer has to travel and then adjust the speeds accordingly. Stays in sync even after 30 years

What exactly do I need to edit and to what value?

Okay so I did the math and the formula is r is the radius of the body h₁ is the height of the first layer h₂ is the height of the second layer s is known speed x is the unknown speed

(2pi(r+h₁))/x=(2pi(r+h₂))/s

You have to match velocities according to the formula above but also offsets. Here is my config:

    OBJECT
    {
        name = EarthCloudsHigh
        body = Earth
        speed = 0,15,0
        offset = 0,180,180
        altitude = 25000

    OBJECT
    {
        name = EarthCloudsMedium
        body = Earth
        speed = 0,14.98358348968110,0
        altitude = 18000
        offset = 0,180,180

    OBJECT
    {
        name = EarthCloudsLow
        body = Earth
        speed = 0,14.9507504690432000,0
        altitude = 4000
        offset = 0,180,180

    OBJECT
    {
        name = EarthCloudsShadow
        body = Earth
        altitude = 2100
        speed = 0,14.9462945590994000,0
        detailSpeed = 0,4.9820981863664800,0  // no idea what this does though
        offset = 0,180,181

Clouds perfectly synced, looking beautiful.

I'd submit a PR with this but alas, somehow the config in the repo looks completely different than the one in the release... @Its-Just-Luci is this intended?

[Its-Just-Luci]

ok, sorry to like... be an ass?

I last touched this repo over two years ago. It is left here for archival purposes and nothing more. I'm retired, sorry

That said, feel free to fork and make another "active" version, just not in the issues on this repo.
