How often do you see clouds from inside and outside an airplane when the sun is setting and rising? A computer user can be a gamer, or a simmer, or both. Having fun with a simulator does not mean that the simulator ceased being a simulator and is now a game. Simulators are not played, simulators are used. Simulators are simulators, and games are games. A software product could be both. In the case of MSFS, from https://www.flightsimulator.com/june-20th-2019/: "We are making Microsoft Flight Simulator.

June 19, 20205 yr Lava lamp clouds...cumulus clouds compressed from below by mountain updrafts. I lIke them. Bhutan International Aiport looks stunning. Got to take the A320 in there! Given the flying by some Alphas it's 50:50 whether the 747 is landing or departing or both Glad ChaoticBeauty got a well deserved shout out. Edited June 19, 20205 yr by Will Fly For Cheese
June 19, 20205 yr here are some videos i found on Youtube soaring through clouds, @:2:23 you see clouds are similar to the sim when you are looking from afar which is very cool, but when you got closer @2:54 you'll see softness of the clouds, it's almost look like a very thick fog. @4:00 is a great example, approaching the clouds and it get softer and softer as you get near fly into it. that would be awesome! this what look's like when I was in Dubai, cloud like fog. cheers Edited June 19, 20205 yr by Elwyn

Quite right. The shadowing on the landscape is in line with the time of day the Bing Imagery was taken. Something which should be addressed in the future one would hope. Image below is Bing - borrowed from Shack95 over on the In-game v Satellite Thread.
