Beautiful and almost perfect looking sky!

I got a few questions. Lets say I wanted to make a soaring simulator out of .

1. The end-user should be able to set up the weather they want for the day/match to make it easier or harder to fly. Can we pass parameters into the at application run time from the user to generate a new sky?

Yes, that will work - you can pass them using Blueprint.

2. Can these clouds be spawned individually as actors or actor components, with some way to control their size, altitude and density as the clouds grow and dissipate?

As yet, no. The API supports setting masks etc, but the UI for is under development and we’ve not yet hooked it up to UE properly.

3. Are cumulus the only type of cloud in the demo, or can we create lenticular or stratus clouds as well? I saw some high cirrus at one point in the video, unless I am mistaken.

Yes, we support cirrus as a 2D layer above the 3D clouds. Lenticular and stratus can be created by adjusting the cloud keyframe parameters - lenticular clouds would have low fractal persistence, stratus high persistence and high cloudiness values.
