Quote - My opinion on AP is:
Either you don`t care about realism and use th AP slider freely. Or you care about realism and then you need to be fully concsious about the fact, that it will rescale the atmosphere.
I personally try to avoid this by always using an AP setting of 1 and use real world dimensions for terrains. (1 meter in the real world will correspond to 1 meter in the Vue world).
In the Vue atmosphere folder there is a subfolder called "Physical" or something. This subfolder contains atmospheres which come close to the real world, and all of them have an AP set to 1.
I was amazed to see that if you are selecting one of these "Physical" atmospheres and load cloud layers with clouds in real world dimension you get stunningly realistic results. This was the reason why I decided to create cloud layers which correspond to an AP setting of 1.
Agreed 100%. I use feet for my real world scale. And and AP value of 1 for standard Earth atmo density.
