Asobo is hopefully already looking at this: clouds/weather

It is so strange that in previous sims people complained that it wasn't possible to have any truly convective clouds and now that they exist so prevalently, people want flat clouds again.

I can't wait till they get it sorted and can provide both in their proper places at the proper time.

Flat clouds?  I'm not seeing anyone who wants to go back to 2d sprites.  I'd love to see some real Cirrus clouds though!

Stratus and Cirrus would be welcomed.

Somehow I still believe we will get there, and one day the forums will be filled with gasps of joyous disbelief at how real the sky looks.

So.. cumulus and cumulonimbus to rule the sim world? There is more than one cloud type that exists, and the sad part is that MSFS used to have most all of them (except cirrus).

I didn't mean that kind of 'flat' clouds.  I meant stratus clouds.

As I said, hopefully soon we'll have BOTH. (again)

Oh gotcha.  In the winter here in MN stratus is most of what we see.  The biggest gripe I have with the current clouds is that they are way too transparent.  Irl I've flown above the thinnest of layers and I could not see through them at all.  I want to be in the soup and break out at mins.  Currently it's more like in the soup but you can see straight down (ie looking out window and down in a Cessna) and see the ground almost all the time.  Forward vis is a little more realistic but still is just an area of reduced visibility.
