Particle effects visible through clouds

Description

Particle effects are not visually affected by cloud cover at all. They will continue to be shown even when they are clearly inside/above the clouds. This makes something like a high altitude vehicle trail very unrealistic in a cloudy scenario. {F20446} {F20447}

Steps To Reproduce

Use:

_veh = createVehicle "Boat_Armed_01_base_F" [0,0,0];map coords x:0 y:0
_veh setVelocity [-50,-50,400];
_particleTrail = "#particlesource" createVehicle (getPos _veh);
_particleTrail setParticleParams
