Although it makes X-Plane somewhat acceptable in terms of the clouds, but no thousands way that can be compared to MSFS clouds for many reasons, performance (I guess you know that), shimmering, quality ... etc AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5 6000MHZ RAM, RX7900XT, FreeSync 165hz 1440p display

For me it is in some "aspects" without a doubt (Most important is how I feel). Even the clouds of MSFS as a whole is much better,it will not be too complicated to show you horrible clouds in some "aspects" in real weather with msfs. ( color,light ,transparency & resolution ) . I fly 3 hours a day and at times it's a cartoon sky.

February 19, 20215 yr Of course, something that enhances the attractiveness of MSFS clouds pretty much unreachably beyond other offerings for me (besides their general graphical superiority) is the simple fact that they are free...

Meaning it is pre-processed in some form or another just like JPEG's usually have sharpness, and saturation applied automatically before it is saved. Lol just stop man. I'm sure you have not seen every sunset or sunrise to say the colors are over saturated. I've seen overly saturated sunsets in the USA and in the Caribbean.
February 19, 20215 yr Author Last one. Take a look at those clouds in the distance. An embedded thunderstorm cloud that shows a different shade of color. It's a completely different view out the window for me. MSFS

I wasn't aware that jpeg did anything to the picture other than compress it (losing some of the raw data in the process). I've never heard that jpeg adds some processing to the image while compressing it. James

I've never heard that jpeg adds some processing to the image while compressing it. That’s the main reason why different brands of camera have their own ‘look’. They process the raw data slightly differently when generating the jpg file as they all have their own jpg engine. Why you get phrases like ‘Fuji colour’ or ‘Sony sharpening’.

It will add and apply enhancements to the photo before the file is saved. Which is why professional photographers prefer to shoot in RAW instead. In that format, there's no processing of the image as it's coming straight from the sensor. That way, the photographer has complete creative control of how the photo will look.

February 19, 20215 yr Good thing to know. I had figured any changes just came from losing data by compressing. James
