The above two pictures almost reminds me of the storm clouds we get here in and around Lamphun.

Very immersive 

It be interesting if there are any possiblities in creating a two toned massive cloud like dark on top and grey dark grey underneath.

It is possible to create a two toned massive cloud like you mentioned but it will effect other weather conditions like Good, Hazy etc.
It means that flying in good weather will take place with dark grey clouds then. Which doesn't look very realistic.

Shape and colour of clouds look different in other parts of the world. Where I live clouds have a kind of light grey, silverish tone underneath. Probably because of reflection of water. And here we are surrounded by a lot of water so to say. 
I try to achieve that same effect.

I still have to fiddle out some things but haven't had much time to do so, I just got back from Paris and next week I'm in Madrid.
But release date will be September.
And after release you are free to edit the cloud.tga to make it as dark as you want to. 

I gave it a quick try already and does it reminds you a bit of the massive storm front you have in Thailand?
A nice side effect is that with the huge clouds option set to low altitude it suggests rainshowers.

The problem is that thunderstorm clouds are dark in the bottom because they are dense clouds blocking the sun light, but they are white in the top where the sun light is reflecting.
And I think this could be very difficult to simulate on Il-2's engine.

What Santobr was saying is correct.

I see a light colour grey (very heavy rain)  ooopps! bottom
Then a dark thick layer of clouds in the middle.
Followed by a light grey layer of clouds.

The first picture in your last post look very cool   

It does look like there heavy rain showers near the water. 

Could have tropical rainsetting clouds for a rainy season tropical map
And your clouds white/grey ones for a dry season tropical map.
