August 31, 20214 yr I am flying a simple VFR flight today and I saw some of the best rendered clouds I've seen so far, when viewed from above (live weather over KSUW). With an exception that they are so transparent.... ugh. Are others getting this? Ultra vs high doesn't seem to affect anything. Maybe they render them this way to save fps? I'm not sure but it's kind of been an issue for me since the beginning. cloudsclear by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
August 31, 20214 yr Looking at your picture, I think there is a good mixture of transparent and solid clouds... I actually think they are quite well done, except the pixilation I get on the storm clouds.... Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.

For me to, some kind of clouds are realy thin so i think this transparence is OK. cheers 😉 08.2024 new PC is online : ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI Mainboard, AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D Prozessor, G.Skill DIMM 64 GB DDR5-6000 (2x 32 GB) Dual-Kit, MSI GeForce RTX 4090 VENTUS 3X E 24G OC Grafikkarte, 2x WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD 4 TB - Drive C+D, WD Gold Enterprise Class 12 TB for storage HDD, Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1000W PC - Power supply, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU Aircooler with 7 Heatpipes, Design Meshify 2 White TG Clear Tint Tower-Case, 3x 4K monitors 2x32 Samsung 1x27 LG 3840x2160, Windows11 Prof. 23H2 - now Windows11 Prof. 25H2 Flightsimulator Hardware: Honeycomb Throttle Bravo, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, Logitech Flight Joke System, XBox Controller, some Thrustmaster stuff, Winwing CDU Panels.
September 3, 20214 yr While the transparency looks good, they do suffer from the reduced color depth. I hope Asobo will recognize this and restore it to pre SU5.
September 5, 20214 yr I am seeing that as well. Not very realistic to see transparent portions in the middle of a cumulus cloud. Altocumulus perhaps, but that because altocumulus are higher, more spread out laterally, and thus have thin spots.

I still think they are too transparent, especially for cumulus clouds. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
