Hi , in case someone missing .. http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/#news7 brds Martin

Good to see they´re on their way. Looks nice, especially the cloud blending.

True overcast? While those screenshots do look to be an improvement over FSX, I am still skeptical that we will have a true 8/8 overcast (remember those days of fs?).

Just come to the UK any time between the end of September and the start of July the following year, and you will have more eight octa overcasts than you know what to do with and won't be the least bit concerned about not being able to simulate them. Al

FS2002 simulated overcast; it just didn't do individual clouds..... -James

...and if we had true overcast we certainly would not need cloud shadows

It seems Flight will have at least cloud lighting, if not cloud shadows. On the night picture with aircraft on the runway it's a little foggy and light beams (shockwave alike) are coming from the landing lights. And does the one picture on the weather comparison news tab show shaded fog on the shadow side of the mountain?
