I've always preferred soft clouds going back to REX soft clouds days pre-EA.  Are you supporting multiple cloud layers?

Cheers, Rob.

Yes......he is....look here. looks good. NOTE: Was with VR turned on so with VR turned off probably a little better. Cloud settings to high instead of ultra due that also.

I do also prefer softer clouds.....it is better due the otherwise pixelated issues. 

This where with 3 layers active (10 layers possible due my setting in ASP3D)

The majority of feedback preferred the soft look to reduce pixelation problems.  We understand this is not ideal for everyone.  You can adjust this fortunately, and we will be looking to provide tools for users to adjust easily to their preference in the future.

 

That is recommended for now, but if you don't like it, go ahead and check it and try default or adjust the values.. there are a few examples recently posted here in this forum.

Prefer soft clouds, due to all the issue you have with hard edges, going to check it out thanks Damian:-)

Anyone getting the issue with EA on where the skies start as shown (partly cloudy) and then just clear up to no clouds (EA off clouds work fine)?  This happens whether cloudy or partly cloudy, it just clears right up?

My opinion with this new Active Sky update is this:  I still think that EA should be OFF!.  With EA off, the clouds in this new update are more realistic, and the various types of clouds look much better...especially the cirrus layer. So, I really like Active Sky today.  It's looking good. The cockpit of the plane along with the spot view of the plane itself are much more satisfying, and not dark, foreboding flying chunks of metal.

I tried turning on EA with this new update, and I still got blocks (better than before...yes) of perfectly sculpted cloud layers.  I also don't like the ultra-soft looking clouds everywhere.  Not enough variation, in my opinion.  If you have a way to tweak this so as to make it more realistic, I'd be interested in knowing how.  However, I still don't like the dark cockpits.

I really wonder how much Active Sky can actually do with EA.  After all, it is a different software from a different company.

I miss the cloud variation as well but just cannot go back to the older lighting...

Today I made a flight from Amsterdam to Nice.

Overcast the whole route. Then EA looks quiet boring at 33500 ft :

Totally agree!

I also liked the clouds in RC3 much better, it seems a little bit to soft now! Not what I see when I look in to the sky, clouds have sharper edges in my opinion, and more random shapes.

Whilst I agree with more random shapes, personally I think soft clouds are the only way we're going to get decent looking clouds for now, until we see something like the MSFS type.

2D clouds are a thing of the past, and don't look to blend well with the sky or have any real depth compared to the truesky ones. Just my opinion.

It actually feels like you're 'surfing the clouds' when you pop out of or go into the overcast.

Personally i don't understand this cheering for MSFS clouds. IMO they look often like cotton candy hanging in the sky.

Bob Ross would have liked this "happy little accident" clouds of course. I find them very cartoonish.

Well I turned EA on for the first time yesterday after install RC4 Beta and the atmospherics was better but I did observe a strange orange glow when compared to EA off. OK it was dusk but it seem to be overdone.

I also got some ASP3D warning messages about P3D cloud density being incorrectly set but when I checked it was on maximum. Anyone else seeing this? I need to check this tonight.

I saw this as well. Looks like everything is on fire. Hope this will be fixed soon.

With HF4, it's better than before with and without EA, but I still have some areas with "chess board" clouds. Would be nice, if this could also be fixed... 

Anyone using the 787 qw with weather radar enabled and precipitation at airport thou nothing appearing on radar screen? With truesky enabled that is And ASP3D RC4

Thanks
