Question about map pics

[Hold The Onion]

when you guys back up and take screens of the whole continent for dot-mapping and resource locations, how do you turn off the clouds scrolling by? If I back up that far a bunch of annoying clouds roll by. the clouds serve no purpose and force me to zoom back in and piece together a dot-map from 6 different screen shots. Might this only be an issue because I use Blue Marble, and if so can anyone who uses it give some advice? Thanks in advance for your replies.

HTO,

It might be a 'Blue Marble' thing because the clouds have not appeared in my screenshots and I have assumed that the program eliminates them from the image when the screenshot takes place from within Civ. Sorry that I'm unable to give you a technically sound explanation other than anecdotal observation!

It is, I guess, a program designed by the guy who made Blue Marble.
Anyway, it is called CivScale and you can download it here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=7

Just run that and set the Cloud Strength slider to the far left to turn them off.

Edit: It works independently of the Blue Marble mod, which looks fantastic, but confuses me too bad to use.

PS Hi CFC.

You can get rid of the clouds in your screenshots by using flying camera. It has to be first enabled in .ini file (AllowFlying = 1) and then during game you can press CTRL + ALT + F to toggle flying camera on and off. Zoom out as much as you want, then toggle flying camera on and take the screenshot and finally toggle the flying camera off again.

Where is this file exactly? Can you give the full path please?
