Yes, I think this had something to do with it. I turned off clouds and there
it was, right where I thought it would be. I also forgot that POV uses a
left hand coordinate system. The flying vehicle was created using feet as
the unit of measure, so I'll have to keep that in mind when placing it in
the scene, but actually all looks very good right now. I'm getting ready to
start up a full render before I go to work, and when I get home maybe it
will be done.

Thanks. By the way, the MakeCloud stuff is very helpful, and I think I've
barely even seen all it can do. Really nice work you've done.

Jon
