November 15, 201213 yr I was scanning some of the METARS from LiveATC and check out PBI Palm Beach. Here's the METAR: KPBI 151853Z 06009KT 10SM SCT034CB BKN048 BKN100 27/18 A3004 RMK AO2 RAB07E20 SLP171 CB OHD AND ALQDS MOV S P0000 T02670178 One thing I noticed that OPUS actually implements utilizing cloud types within the METAR. I booted up at PBI with my Cessna and took a few photos. The first picture was taken after OPUS was started. You can CLEARLY see that there is an Cumulonimubus cloud directly above and north in the distance. I haven't ever seen that before when I used ASE. In the first photo take note of the 2 open sky holes in the top right and the 3 holed open sky in the middle left. In the second picture you can see at the top right that the clouds have dynamically changed. The 3 holed clouds at the middle left have been slightest reduced. This time lapse difference was only about a minute but I couldn't believe that I was having the level of dynamics in my simulator. This is an absolute steal. I love OPUS.
