I haven't had any cotton candy experiences with clouds at ultra.  At medium and low, yes.  And sometimes high, but at ultra, they've always been pretty well textured.

I was at high.  Funny, I lowered my settings to med and later to low thinking that would make a difference.  Saw no changes from high.  I expected that when I broke through on approach that I might be presented with scenery blurries.  Was very much not the case.

It's nice that we have a couple of add-ons for METAR based weather.  I'm hoping Asobo will collect some feedback on the live weather at some point.  I believe Meteoblue has a good model and there may be some issues with how it is being incorporated into the sim - temperature shifts due to incorrect ISA altitude factors being applied to the Meteoblue data which already has that accounted for, and AGL vs MSL issues with where cloud layers are mapped, maybe some delays in pulling the latest data. 

I really enjoy being able to see cloud layers out in the distance and stuff vs having a single preset be 'injected'.  But it does make flight planning a real pain with things not matching.

One of the biggest Nudges I've encountered so far in MSFS 2020 - is; Look out the window - it's all there in front of you. Sure, scan your instruments but keep your focus out the windows. That's where the airport is. THAT'S where you have to land.

Clock the Runway. Extend the line. PAPIS? - great. Line her up and fly her down.

Much easier than trying to nail a few pixels on a G1000 or even worse; a dot on a 747 ND.

Eyes - Mark One - best Approach tools ever created!

Unless you're CAT III - in which case fly down to your Minimums - and if you still don't like what you (can't) see and you haven't got AutoLand then hit TO/GA and go elsewhere.

Usually when im IFR, i stick to my IFR charts religiously until minimums, because, im a hardcore IFR simmer boooyyyyy (<----LOL) . But in MSFS, i find myself switching to hand flown visual approaches a lot when condition permits, because, outside, its just too stunning. Never did that on the old sims

I hand fly approaches from the IAF unless I am in IMC.
