New cloud types in MSFS?

Featured Replies

I fly a lot with REX WeatherForce, but I just did a flight with Live Weather and was amazed at some high level clouds above a cumulus layer.  Some of them were almost cirrus like and others cirro-stratus looking - even some looking like cirro-cumulus.  I have never seen formations like this in Live Weather before so I'm wondering if some cloud work is going on in the background? I have been critical of Live Weather clouds, but credit where credit is due, these looked great!

Either that or some of you have seen these clouds and I have spent too much time in REX WeatherForce 😁

In SU8 I was seeing some of those cloud types with default live weather. It appears they are making some progress here and there. If I could critique it at all it's that making cirro type clouds with this depiction technology doesn't look too good yet. Cirro clouds are the only clouds I would argue a texture based rendering option would produce the best results but you would still encounter the issue of the clouds not having real depth like with a volumetric depiction. It will be interesting how these cloud types progress and how believable they can make them look.
