September 17, 201510 yr Your experiments are the proof that default X-Plane is able to display nice realistic skies after all, it just needs some tweaking. I am flying with your dds cloud puffs adaptations, and the visual impact is very realistic in flight, screenshots do not do justice to your work. (I mean that it looks better while in motion).
September 17, 201510 yr I am just a bit conservative, but willing to apply Murmur's technique, now that I am back "at work".... Spent last night testing the latest JarDesign A320 NEO, and will try to find the time to go through the detailed steps Murmur made available at this thread here at AVSIM. One thing is for sure - these shots show that indeed X-Plane 10 can go beyond FSX and even P3D v2 in the way the skies are painted. If we count the weather effects themselves, then X-Plane 10 wins easily, IMO....

September 17, 201510 yr Do any sims support microbursts in a heavy storm Aerowinx PSX for sure :-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
September 17, 201510 yr Aerowinx PSX for sure :-) Do you get those effects ? Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
September 17, 201510 yr Do you get those effects ? You bet I do... and, believe me . compared to ANYTHING else, they'll make you sweat !!! Honestly, nothing - I mean nothing, with the exception of when you use the manual weather settings in XP10... - can be compared with the level of realism in simulating even microburst, like Aerwinx PSX.
