			:So if I'm reading you right, every time smoke/fire gets assigned to a tile, this value goes up by 1. Say five smoke grenades go off and the smoke density (offset 3) goes through the roof. Once all the explosions have gone off in that turn/action/whatever, the density is then divided by the amount of explosions (minus one) in order to get a rough average figure, and the counter value is cleared.

			------

			If you set it to 1 for an out of sight smoke cloud, it'll remain unseen until your soldiers spot it.

			By memory, if you set it to 0 for a cloud that should otherwise be visible, it won't appear.

			I checked the cloud generated by a just-crashed UFO and all records were set to 0.

			So it seems likely to me that it is a indeed a visibility flag. :)
