NOAA GFS 25km: Cloud cover issue

I decide on what defaults are based on what I believe will value the most users.

The layered cloud on the graph will easily benefit all users for one good reason - the equations used to calculate total cloud misrepresents the actual cloudy state. If there is 100% high cloud and 0% low/mid cloud, total cloud will show 100%. See the graph below with the total cloud shaded in a lighter grey.

I know people hate change (I try to keep it to a minimum) but change had to happen for Flowx to get where it is today and will keep happening in the future. If you get pissed off with change, then maybe Flowx is not for you.

This is what Flowx would look like without change:

What I hate as a developer is intolerance, especially when I provided an easy option to get the previous state.

After many years of app development, I have learnt I cannot satisfy everyone all of the time.
