Appearance
Offset 7: looks like a visibility flag. It is set to 1 when the SEEMAP.DAT entry of the tile indicates that the content of the ground has been seen (bit 3). Anyone can confirm the theory?

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. :)
